EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Guru Nanak Dev (right), the founder of Sikhism in 1469, is depicted in the company of his successor and the last of the Ten Sikh Gurus, Govind Singh (1666-1708). The serene expressions on their faces, their haloed heads, and the regal attire they wear convey a sense of divine authority and wisdom. Guru Nanak Dev, born in 1469 in the Punjab region of present-day India, is considered the founder of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion that emphasizes the importance of devotion, service, and equality. He is often depicted with a falcon or a hunter's bow, symbolizing his mastery over the material world and his readiness to protect the weak and the downtrodden. Govind Singh, born in 1666, was the son of the ninth Sikh Guru, Tegh Bahadur. He assumed the mantle of leadership after his father's execution in 1675. Govind Singh is known for his military prowess and his role in establishing the Khalsa, a community of initiated Sikhs, in 1699. The Khalsa was a militant order, dedicated to the defense of the Sikh faith and the protection of the weak. The image of Guru Nanak Dev and Govind Singh together is a powerful reminder of the continuity and the dynamic nature of the Sikh tradition. It also underscores the importance of the Gurus as spiritual and temporal leaders, who were expected to provide guidance and protection to their followers. The arrows and the falcon in the image serve as a reminder of the Gurus' warrior spirit and their readiness to defend the faith against all odds.
