  • Guru Arjan Dev Ji or Guru Arjun Dev Ji was the fifth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism and became a Guru on 1 September 1581 following in the footsteps of Guru Ram Das. He was born at Goindval, and was the youngest of the sons of Guru Ram Das and Bibi Bhani, the daughter of Guru Amar Das. Before his death, he nominated his son Har Gobind as the next Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Arjan was head of Sikhism for a quarter of a century and accomplished a lot during his regime. He completed the construction of Amritsar and founded other cities such as Taran Taran and Kartarpur. He constructed a Baoli at Lahore. The most important work of Arjan Dev was the compilation of Adi Granth. He collected all the work of the first four Gurus and dictated it in the form of verses in 1604. It is, perhaps, the only book of a scriptural nature which still exists in the form first published (a hand-written manuscript) by the Guru. It and the Guru Granth Sahib which includes the writing of the later Gurus have managed to avoid the embellishments, additions and alterations that have plagued the original writing of other more ancient religious texts. Guru Arjan organised the Masand system, a group of representatives who taught and spread the teachings of the Gurus and also collected the Dasvand, one-tenth of a Sikh's income (in money, goods or service) that Sikhs paid to support the building of Gurdwaras, the all important Guru ka Langars (free communal kitchens) originally intended to share with sense of love, respect and equality, still an important element today in any Gurdwara. The Langars were open to any visitors and were designed from the start to stress the idea of equality and a casteless society. The land that Amritsar is built upon is believed to be a jagir (estates gifted to individuals under the Mughal system which included one or more villages and often a portion of the crops produced on the land) given as a gift by the Emperor Akbar, who was impressed by the practice, after sharing a meal in the Guru's communal kitchen, seated on the floor among commoners.
  • Arjan Dev auch Arjun Dev, war der fünfte Guru der Sikhs. Sein Vater war der vierte Guru, Ram Das. 1581 übernahm er das Guru-Amt von seinem Vater. Er fasste die Hymnen seiner Vorgänger und Schriften aus dem Islam und dem Hinduismus zu dem heiligen Buch der Sikhs, dem Guru Granth Sahib, zusammen. Jedoch betonte Arjan Dev immer mehr die Abgrenzung zu anderen Religionen, wohingegen der erste Guru, Guru Nanak, versöhnen wollte. Statt „Es gibt keinen Hindu, und es gibt keinen Muslim“ (Es gibt nur Menschen; Guru Nanak) sagte er „Wir sind weder Hindus noch Moslems“. Arjan Dev begann mit dem Bau des Goldenen Tempels in Amritsar. Da immer mehr Muslime zum Sikhismus konvertierten und Arjan Dev einen großen Einfluss hatte, stand der Kaiser Jehangir der Entwicklung kritisch gegenüber und ließ Arjan Dev 1606 zu Tode foltern.
  • El Gurú Arjan Dev fue el quinto gurú de los sijs (1581–1606) y su primer mártir. Compiló el libro de las escrituras Sij sobre las cuales está basado el Adi Granth y concluyó el Templo Dorado en Amritsar, India. Fue el primer gurú en desempeñarse como jefe espiritual temporal del sijismo, hizo crecer Amritsar como un centro comercial y amplió los esfuerzos misioneros. Fue también un prolífico poeta y escritor de himnos. Tuvo éxito bajo el mandato del tolerante emperador mogol Akbar, pero fue torturado hasta morir por Jahangir por no modificar el Ādi Granth para quitar los pasajes que ofendían al hinduismo o al islam.
  • Guru Arjan Dev Selon les vœux de son prédécesseur (et père) Gurû Ram Das, Gurû Arjun prit la charge de Gurû Sikh le 1 septembre 1581 et devenant ainsi le 5 des 10 Gurûs Sikhs. A Amritsar, ville fondée par Gurû Ram Das, Guru Arjan entreprit la construction de "Harimandir Sahib", le Temple d'Or, et fit de la ville un lieu central pour toute la communauté sikh. Gurû Arjan fonda également la ville de Tarn Taran, autour d'un immense réservoir d'eau douce. Gurû Arjan entreprit la première compilation des textes de référence spirituelle des Sikhs, l'Adi Granth, œuvre qu'il acheva en 1604. Il est lui même l'auteur d'un grand nombre d'hymnes du Guru Granth Sahib, dont Sukhmani Sahib (littéralement "Paix de l'esprit"). Emprisonné en 1606, sous l'ordre de l'empereur Jahangir qui voulait l'obliger à reconnaitre la primauté de l'Islam sur les enseignements sikhs, il mourut sous la torture, sans céder, et devint ainsi le premier martyr sikh. Peu avant sa mort, il nomma son fils Gurû Hargobind comme successeur.
  • Goeroe Arjan of Arjun was de vijfde van de tien goeroes van de sikhs. Hij volgde zijn vader op, Goeroe Ram Das, en werd benoemd tot goeroe op 1 september 1581. Arjan stelde de Goeroe Granth Sāhib op, het heilige geschrift voor sikhs. Dit boek werd bijna als God gerespecteerd en wordt behandeld als persoon. Tevens voltooide Arjan de Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, het belangrijkste heiligdom voor sikhs. Onder zijn leiding werden verder de sociale hervormingen en het missionariswerk van zijn voorgangers uitgebreid. Arjans zoon Hargobind volgde Arjan op als goeroe van de sikhs.
  • Guru Arjan Dev (Arjun Dev), född 15 april 1563, död 30 maj 1606, sikhiskt religiöst överhuvud, var den som lät lägga grundstenen till det Gyllene Templet i Amritsar. Templet är sikhernas viktigaste helgedom, och heter egentligen Harimandir, vilket betyder Guds tempel. Guru Arjun sammanställde också sikhernas heliga skrift, Granth Sahib, av de hymner som komponerats av de föregående gururna, av egna tillägg och av en del texter som var skrivna av muslimska och hinduiska helgon.

  • In Goindwal, which is on the river Biyãh (Beas), there was a Hindu named Arjan, in the garments of sainthood and sanctity, so much so that he had captured many of the simple-hearted of the Hindus, and even of the ignorant and foolish followers of Islam, by his ways and manners, and they had loudly sounded the drum of his holiness. They called him Guru, and from all sides stupid people crowded to worship and manifest complete faith in him. For three or four generations (of spiritual successors) they had kept this shop warm. Many times it occurred to me to put a stop to this vain affair or to bring him into the assembly of the people of Islam. At last when Khusrau passed along this road this insignificant fellow proposed to wait upon him. Khusrau happened to halt at the place where he was, and he came out and did homage to him. He behaved to Khusrau in certain special ways, and made on his forehead a finger-mark in saffron, which the Indians (Hinduwän) call qashqa, (Tilak) and is considered propitious. When this came to my ears and I clearly understood his folly, I ordered them to produce him and handed over his houses, dwelling-places, and children to Murtaza Khan, and having confiscated his property commanded that he should be put to death."
