He was a trained warrior and was deputed by 7 th Guru Har Rai Ji to tour the rural areas of Punjab, for preaching Guru Nanak mission. The author properly explained with reference to contemporary records that Guru Tegh Bahadur in his earlier life never spent 20 years just for meditation. Makhan Shah Lubhana reached Bakala much later and served the Guru with full devotion for many years. Similarly, Guru Tegh Bahadur named his son Gobind Rai as tenth Guru before he left Anandpur in 1675 A.D. Guru Tegh Bahadur accepted his role and was traditionally honoured by the Sikhs. He has proved that Guru Harkrishan very clearly named him as Ninth Guru. The learned author has mentioned in detail that Guru Tegh Bahadur was always called Baba. Guru Harkrishan the only child God in the world history named his own successor-Baba Bakala. Every Gurus in his own life time selected His successor and bestowed Gur gaddhi to him. Gurmukh Singh has proved that from Guru Nanak to 10 th Guru there have never been any gap period for succession of the next Guru. The Sikh community always respect Makhan Shah Lubana and have been giving credit to him to find the ninth Guru. Gurmukh Singh has cleared many myths and has written his version based on historical facts.
While reading the text of the new book I have found that S. Much later the Sikh historians produced authentic versions through the books. From my childhood we have been reading about Guru Nanak’s travels where unnatural happenings were being highlighted only to prove the greatness of our Guru. The missionaries have been narrating the great powers of our Gurus adding stories full of miracles. I am thankful to him for digging out old records in order to write a true story of the life of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and to remove the superfluous tales. I have always found in him intellect, Panthic devotion and writing skill. I have the pleasure of meeting him and have been continuously reading his articles. He was honoured with OBE award for his meritorious services towards society. Gurmukh Singh who has the unique honour of being the first identity Sikh senior Civil Servant to represent U.K. This year, Sikh Youth Australia have released a revised second edition. It is to their credit that the first edition of the popular book “Guru Tegh Bahadur The True Story” was released in 2017. has always been active to produce literature and organise seminars. We are happy that with the help of the modern techniques seminars and Kirtan Darbars could be organised. Due to COVID the expected programmes could not be organised the way we celebrated Guru Nanak Dev Ji 550 th Birth Anniversary. We have recently celebrated the 400 th birth anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. Sardar Tarlochan Singh, Ex-MP & Chairman, National Minorities Commission, India.
