Marriage Day : Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji

Guru Ji peaked in terms of both looks and personality when he was eighteen years old. He had a great appearance. Guru Ji has a slender physique and a medium build. Very fine facial hair was beginning to appear on Guru Ji's lovely face. It is reported that he had an incredibly appealing demeanor that made people want to hug him.

Guru Sahib Ji's mother, Mata Gujri, believed the time had come for her to wed him. On the day of Vaisakhi in 1684, Guru Gobind Singh Ji married Mata Sindari Saroop of Lahore. The marriage took place at Guru Ka Lahore since the weather in the nation prevented Guru Ji from traveling to Lahore. The Mahan Kosh Granth states that Mata Sundari Ji, the wife of Guru Ji, was a native of Lahore.She was Bhai Ram Saran Kumrau Patri's daughter. Although it was widely believed that this was Guru Sahib Ji's second marriage, it is more likely that Mata Sundari Ji's name was Mata Jito Ji before she was married. Guru Ji most likely gave her the name Sundari Saroop, thanks to ji.Two distinct names gave rise to the presumption of two distinct marriages and, hence, two distinct spouses.

When Mata Sahib Kaur ji (Mata Sahib Devan) proposed marriage to Guru Gobind Singh Ji when he was 33 years old, he declined since he was already married. When Anandpur was presented with the proposition for discussion, Guru Ji informed him that, as he was already married, he was not allowed to have any more wives. The predicament facing Mata Sahib Kaur Ji's parents was that, since the proposition had gone public, no Sikh would marry a person who Guru ji had rejected. Thus, much as many sevadars still reside in the Gurdwara today, Guru Ji let Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to remain in Anandpur without officially becoming his wife.

Although they were childless together, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji was a significant figure in Sikhi. When Guru Ji formed the Khalsa Panth in 1699, he requested Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to prepare Amrit by adding pataasas (puffed sugar) to the water. The Khalsa people acknowledge Guru Gobind Singh ji as their spiritual father and Mata Sahib Kaur ji as their spiritual mother. Individuals who are unfamiliar with the Amrit ritual sometimes believe that Mata Sahib Kaur ji was Guru Gobind Singh ji's wife. In the same way that Guru Gobind Singh Ji is the Khalsa's spiritual father but not their biological father, Mata Sahib Devan Ji is their spiritual mother but not their spouse.Many untrue rumors also exist about the weddings of our other Guru Ji. But all of the Guru Ji’s were like this. Every Guru was married just once, and they all had offspring along with their one and only spouse. Even after being married, the Guru Jis frequently got several marriage proposals; nevertheless, they turned down every single one of them. Sikhi believes that it is forbidden to marry or have a sexual relationship with someone who is not your respected spouse or wife. However, since the Guru Jis had rejected the previous proposal, no one else would marry the suggested ladies even if some proposals were made after the Guru Ji’s were already married.

Guru Sahib Ji was married three times. On June 21, 1677, he wed Mata Jito at Basantgarh. Jujhar Singh, Zorawar Singh, and Fateh Singh were their three sons together. He wed Mata Sundari, his second wife, on April 4, 1684, and the two had a son named Ajit Singh. He wed Mata Sahib Devan, his third wife, on April 15, 1700. She was dubbed the Mother of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh and was instrumental in spreading Sikhism.

After recently converting to the Sikh faith, Rai proposed to marry his daughter Sundri. Although the eighteen-year-old Guru had previously married Mata Jito ji over seven years prior, the young couple had no children together. The widow Mata Gujri, the mother of the tenth guru, encouraged her son to accept the marriage proposal, maybe because she hoped to forge relationships through marriage for her son, whose father had been a martyr. The eleventh guru consented to follow his mother's guidance and desires.

The Guru first declined the proposition when it was presented to Anandpur for consideration because he was already married and had four boys. Although the marriage was approved by the Sangat and the Guru's family, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru, made it plain that he would only have a spiritual rather than a bodily relationship with Mata Sahib Devan.

However, it is quite probable that Mata Sundari Ji's name was Mata Jito Ji before she was married. Guru Ji likely gave her the name Sundari Saroop. Two distinct names gave rise to the presumption of two distinct marriages and, hence, two distinct spouses. Thousands of worshippers visit every Gurudwara in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, on the tenth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Jito Ji's marriage.
