Month of November, in Sikh History

Every date and every month has a list of its own historical events. Today something came to my mind and I started searching about the events happened in the history of November and I found many historical incidents from www.sikhiwiki.org . Let us talk about what happened in this month which passes us every year.


There is an argument between historians regarding exact date of "Bandi Chod Divas" , when Shri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji was released with 52 kings from Gwalior prison. Though most of the historians state few days before Diwali festival, so in the absence of exact date, Sikhs celebrate this day on the same day of Diwali in the month of November.


Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was born in the month of Kattak according to nanakshahi calendar. Day described in gurbani was kattak di pooranmashi according to hundu calendar its Kartik Purnima, which falls in the month of October and November. This year in 2018, this great day falls on 23rd of November. There is a old shabad we use to listen in childhood, "Kattak di pooranmashi, Mela nankane da."

Mata Sahib Kaur Ji was born on 1 November, 1681 in a village called Rohtas, District Jehlum, in un-partitioned India (now in Pakistan).

Bhai Dharam Singh Ji, one of the beloved Panj Payaras was born on 3 November, 1666.

Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji, one of the powerful pillars of khalsa panth, passed away on 13 November 1757.

"Sher-e-Punjab", "The Lion of Punjab" Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji, was born on 13th of November, 1780 in Gujranwala (now in Pakistan).

14th of November, is the first day of Nanakshahi month Maghar.

In dates from 18 November to 24 November, Shri Guru Teg Bahadar Ji along with Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, and Bhai Dayal Das Ji were First tortured and then martyred on 24 November 1675.

On 24 November Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji became Tenth Guru of Sikhs. He was the last guru in human form, though in 1708, The sovereignty of the Sikh Scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) declared as the Guru for all times.

Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji, the third son of Guru Gobind Singh was born on 28 November 1696.

Sobha Singh (29 November 1901 - 21 August 1986), famous Sikh painter, was born on 29 November 1901.
