This book encapsulates the exceptionally eventful and vibrant life of the guru that will provoke thought and debate even in today’s times. Guru Gobind Singh – Founder of the Khalsa; saint; warrior par excellence; poignant poet; philosopher; soulful human being – was the illustrious Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. This extensively researched book goes beyond the established events that broadly include the untimely assassination of Guru Teg Bahadur; Guru Gobind Singh’s coronation; the battles of Bhangani and Nadaun; his stay in Paonta and Anandpur; and the historic creation of the Khalsa. The book talks about other events that sought to widely establish the Khalsa including the battle of Nirmohgarh; the siege and evacuation of Anandpur; the battles of Chamkaur, Khidrana and Muktsar; his Zafarnama to Aurangzeb and subsequent meeting with Bahadur Shah Zafar in Agra. Most importantly, it provides some unknown facts about the anointment of the holy book of the Sikhs – the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal guiding light. Guru Gobind Singh’s prowess as a warrior of immense distinction is well-recorded, besides his understanding of military strategy and execution; the book brings to light his love for literature, scriptures and languages, his philosophical, judicious and humane thought, and is a tribute to the great saint and seeks to outline the historical life, times and events of Guru Gobind Singh in intricate details.

This publication is an edited English commentary to the text known as the 'Charitropkhyān'. This has become a controversial text which is the largest portion of the Srī Dasam Granth, authored by Srī Gurū Gobind Singh Jī. The context of this text is a series of tales narrated by a minister to a King. This is recounted in the second charitar and all others continue on from there in a constant flow. The flow is of constant stories which have their individual teachings. The majority are not to place trust in others both male and female. There are stories of deceptions, folk stories, stories of deities, etc. Srī Gurū Gobind Singh Jī writes these stories in order to teach the masses about the flaws that the vices cause within people. Well that is what the public think these charitars entail however, there are many stories of bravery within them. For example, the stories of Dropatī and Kekaī are two that show how brave a woman can be and the saviour that women can be towards their partners.
