    About this ebook

    Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji used to wear two swords called ‘Miri’ and ‘Piri’. The first sword was the symbol of military power and the second symbolized spiritual power. The Sikh then became ‘Saint-Soldier.’

    Before the time of Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib, the Sikhs were only involved in peaceful activities, but after being persecuted by the Mughal rulers, Guru Hargobind decided to make his Sikhs soldiers. He wrote several letters and advised the Sikhs to join the military training and martial arts.
