(Guru) Teg Bahadur was born on 1st April 1621 at Amritsar. His mother was Mata Nanaki, the second wife of Guru Hargobind. He was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind.
<br/><br/>On hearing the news of birth of fifthe child, Guru Hargobind came to his house to see new born baby.
<br/><br/>When the Guru saw the new born child he bowed in reverence. The disciples of the guru were also accompanying him.
<br/><br/>Baba Bidhi Chand was amazed to see this act of the Guru. He asked the Guru, 'My Lord! What is the reason that you have bowed before the new born child with such adoration.'
<br/><br/>Hearing these words of Bidi Chand, Guru Hargobind replied, 'Bidhi chand! When this child will be grown up he would shield the poor and down trodden. He will save the bleeding and helpless humanity. He would be a prophet of love, truth and peace. I have bowed before the sun of reality. He would uproot the cruel Kingdom of Mughals. '
<br/><br/>So Guru Hargobind gave a name to his new born baby Tegh Bahadur.
<br/><br/>The child (Guru) Teg Bahadur always remained calm and cheerful. His charming face was fascinating all the members of the family.
<br/><br/>Mata Nanaki was also very fond of the child and she was nourishing him with his own hands. She was not depending upon the servants.
<br/><br/>The child Guru used to contemplate on the name of God in his very early age. Sometimes in trance he used to become unaware of the surroundings and even forgot to eat and drink.
<br/><br/>When Mata Nanaki felt worried about this habit of him, then Guru Hargobind always advised her saying, 'Your son has a direct links with God. He is hale and hearty. You should not worry about him.'
<br/><br/>(Guru) Tegh Bahadur was perceived that in order to face the tyranny one has to become brave and fearless. He was leading the life of a prince. He had learnt the art of riding a horse. He accompanied his father on hunting expeditions. He also got his practical military training along with other Sikhs.
<br/><br/>(Guru) Tegh Bahadur learnt Mughal art of warfare from Pathans. From them he also learnt the use of the weapons of offence and defence.
<br/><br/>Once a poor man needed some money, the Guru at once gave him the required money.
<br/><br/>When Mata Nanaki asked him about this then he said, 'Dear Mother, The poor man was in great need of money, as he had fixed the marriage of his daughter.'
