So far we have heard the history of Guru Teg Bahadur ji from his enlightenment to his education and armor.When Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was 7 years old, the death of his elder brother Baba Atal Rai Ji had a profound effect on his life. In the same year, he received warmth from Guru Arjan Dev ji’s wife, Guru Hargobind sahib ji’s mother and Guru Teg Bahadur ji’s grandmother Mata Ganga ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji, the grandfather of Guru Teg Bahadur ji, had been martyred before his enlightenment. Guru Teg Bahadur ji and the rest of the sons were very much in love with Mata Ganga ji. Suddenly the first in 1628 AD the demise of Bhai Baba Atal Rai Ji and the passing away of Mata Ganga Ji in the same year also had a profound effect on the heart of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji. Not only this, Baba Sri Chand Ji, son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who was very much in love with Guru Ghar. He handed over the reins of the Udasi sect to Baba Gurditta ji, the elder brother of Guru Teg Bahadur ji after him. Baba Sri Chand Ji was over 100 years old. Of these the Guru sahib was very much in love with the house. Guru Sahib Ji also had great respect for Baba Sri Chand Ji. When Guru Teg Bahadur Ji was 8 years old, Baba Sri Chand Ji passed away. All this Guru Teg Bahadur Ji felt with his own eyes in his life. When Guru Sahib was 10 years old, Baba Buddha ji passed away on November 17, 1631.
Baba Buddha ji had visited from Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Hargobind sahib ji. He not only visited 6 Guru Sahibs but also Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji and Guru Teg Bahadur Ji ,the son of Baba Gurditta Ji is seated these days. Baba Buddha ji visited 8 Gurus. 6 Gurus were sitting on the throne at that time. Baba Buddha ji applied the gurtagaddi to five Gurus from Guru Nanak Sahib ji to Guru Hargobind sahib ji. When Guru Angad Dev Ji seated on gaddi, at that time Baba Buddha ji applied the tilak of Gurgadi on his hand. When Guru Amar Das ji was given the Guruship, even then BaBa Buddha ji greased Guru Amar Das ji with his own hand. Even when Guru Ram Das ji was given the Guruship, this ritual was performed by Baba Buddha ji. This ritual was also performed by Baba Buddha ji when Guru Arjan Dev ji was anointed with the Guruship. Baba Buddha ji performed this ritual even when the sixth Guru Sahib was anointed with the Guruship. He dressed Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji with two kirpans of Miri and Peeri. He was so fortunate that he performed this service from Guru Nanak Sahib to Guru Hargobind sahib Ji till the age of 125 years. Baba Buddha ji visited the thrones of six Gurus and Guru Tegh Bahadur ji and Guru Har Rai ji, who had not yet become Gurus, with his own eyes. Baba Buddha ji’s departure was a great departure. In front of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, his education Guru and the granthi of Guru Ghar ,Baba Buddha Ji, whose status was very high, his departure falls before Guru Teg Bahadur Ji. Baba Buddha Ji goes to the afterlife. His entire life was devoted to the Guru’s house. Baba Buddha ji was cremated by Guru Hargobind sahib ji himself and had a profound effect on the life of Guru Teg Bahadur ji. The passing of a Brahmgyani in this way and other small incidents had a profound effect on the life of Guru Teg Bahadur ji from the age of 7 to 10 years.
