Establishment of Miri-Piri
He was born in 1595 and was known as a "soldier saint." Guru Hargobind ji organised a small army, explaining that extreme non-violence would only encourage evil — thus the principles of Miri-Piri were established.
Guru ji taught that it was necessary to take up the sword to protect the weak and oppressed. At the age of 13, he erected Sri Akal Takhat Sahib and adorned two swords — Miri and Piri — representing temporal and spiritual power.
