In 1552, Guru Amar Das is appointed as the Third Sikh Guru.
Guru Amar Das was the third of Sikhism's ten Gurus. He was converted to Sikhism fairly late in life, having spent the majority of his life as a devout Hindu. His parents were both God-fearing, devout Hindus, and he followed in their footsteps to become a devout Hindu as well. Amar Das, who was spiritually oriented from a young age, was noted for his compassionate temperament and serene demeanour. He was already in his seventies when he heard Guru Angad Dev's daughter singing Guru Nanak Dev songs. The hymns moved him, and he went to see Guru Angad right away.
