The Life and Times of Guru HarKrishan

In this episode, we shall talk about the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru
HarKrishan and the political turbulence which had turned against
the Sikhs in the 17th century in India. The time of Guru
HarKrishan’s Guruship was marked not only by Aurangzeb’s oppression
of the Sikhs, but also by the Minas , Dhir Mal and his own brother
Ram Rai.

All of these people had established their own sects and broke off
from the tenets of early Sikh gurus and their teachings. They were
openly striving to divide the Sikhs with their numerous and focused
attempts to dilute Sikh teachings. Guru HarKrishan was only 5 years
old when he assumed the Guruship, but admirably he kept all of the
Sikhs together.
