The Ten Gurus & Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee
Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Jee
Guru Har Krishan was born in Rupnagar Punjab India to Guru Har Rai and Kishan Kaur (Mata Sulakhni). Before his physical death in November 1661 Har Rai designated his younger son Har Krishan as the next Guru. Har Rai chose Har Krishan rather than his elder son Ram Rai because Ram Rai was in collusion with the Mughal Empire. Har Krishan was only five years old when he succeeded his father as Guru.
