Guru Gobind Singh
Guru Gobind Singh (17th century), legendary saint, soldier and poet was a prolific writer. He spent his youth in studying Sanskrit, Persian and other Indian scriptures. Guru Gobind Singh compiled the final version of the Adi Granth.
His writings were collected by his disciple Mani Singh thirty years after his demise.The compilation, comprising over two thousand hymns, is known as the Dasm Granth-the Granth of the tenth Guru. His ballad, Chandi Di Var (Ode to the Divine Sword), is a unique composition in Punjabi.
Neither before nor after it, has martial poetry of such a fine calibre been produced in the language. Chandi Di Var is the dual vehicle of spirituality and heroism. It also epitomised Punjabi identity and in a wider context, the Indian ethos.
The Guru had risen against Mughal oppression, and felt the need for an image that could stimulate the entire nation which the var (martial ode) answered. It occupies a special niche in the tradition of martial poetry, because of its allegorical nature and archetypal expression.
The Sikh soldiery is said to recite this var before attacking the enemy.
