Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, the ninth Nanak and the ninth of ten Gurus of the Sikhs, was executed at the age of 54 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1675.
Guru Teg Bahadur was the ninth Sikh Guru, and the Sikhs revered him as the "Protector of Humanity." Guru Tegh Bahadur was a wonderful teacher as well as a superb fighter, thinker, and poet who penned thorough descriptions of the nature of God, mind, body, and bodily attachments, among other things spiritual. The then-Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb ordered Guru Teg Bahadur to abandon his faith and convert to Islam. When he refused, the Sikh Guru was beheaded in Delhi on November 11, 1675.
