Commemorating Martyrdom of Guru Arjun dev jee, who
- Established town of Amritsar signifying Religious Sovereignty.
- Got construction of HariMandir Saheb with 4 doors – ensuring to emphasize the acceptance of people from all castes, faiths sending a message – Everyone has equal right to access Divinity

- Founded city of Taran-Taaran (Liberated and-Liberate) for service to Humanity (1590)
- Consciously Embraced Martyrdom (at age of 43 yrs) as a Witness to Truth, instead of surrendering to pressure amounting from political conspiracy involving his elder brother Prithichand, a courtesan Chandu and Jahangir.
He was brutally tortured – made to sit on burning plate, with hot red sand poured on this body, followed by immersing his blistered both in a big cistern of boiling water.
When a devout Saint Mian Mir approached him with the request that he be permitted to see Jahangir to reverse his decision and release the Guru, but Guru Arjan dev jee, refrained him from doing so by submitting:
ਤੇਰਾ ਕੀਆ ਮੀਠਾ ਲਾਗਾ ॥
ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਮਾਂਗੈ ॥
Consciously Accepted the Divine’s Hukum (Decorum)
Devotion to Divine Will is only Boon I ( Nanak) seeks
Guru Granth Saheb jee’s wisdom on Mother -
ਪਵਣੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਾਣੀ ਪਿਤਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਧਰਤਿ ਮਹਤੁ ॥
Guru Nanak submits that ‘Earth’ is Mother for all beings. Just as ‘Earth’ nourishes Life of Plants and Animals - Humans…… similarly Mother does for her offsprings. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
ਮਾਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ॥.
Mother reflects Thoughtful-Insights and wisdom, Father reflects Contentment, 🙏🏽🙏🏽
ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਮਾਤਾ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਪਿਤਾ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪਰਮੇਸੁਰਾ ॥
Divine is my Mother, Divine is my Father, To Divine is my ultimate Submission. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
