Guru Angad, who lived from 31 March 1504 to 29 March 1552, was the second of Sikhism's ten gurus. After meeting the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, becoming a Sikh, and serving and working with Guru Nanak Dev Ji for many years, Nanak gave Lehna the name Angad ("my own limb") and designated Angad as the second Sikh Guru. Guru Angad Sahib ji headed the Sikh heritage after Guru Nanak Dev Ji died in 1539. In Sikhism, he is known for adopting and formalising the Gurmukhi alphabet. He began the task of collating Nanak's hymns and contributed 62 or 63 of his own.
