Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, was born on December 2, 1666, in Patna, Bihar.
He was the son of Guru Tegh Bahadur (the 9th Guru) and Mata Gujri. In 1956, his father was killed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for refusing to adopt Islam. In 1676, at the age of 9, he was proclaimed to be the tenth Guru of Sikhs.
The greatest achievement of Guru Gobind Singh was his creation of Khalsa in 1699.
He introduced the five Ks (Kesh, Kara, Kanga, Kachera, and Kirpan) to the community.
