Guru Ramdas

Sri Guru Ram Das Ji was the fourth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism. Guru Ji was born in the year 1534 in the city of Lahore with the birth name Bhai Jetha. At the age of 12, he met the third guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Amar Das Ji. From then on, Bhai Jetha served Guru Amar Das Ji and the Sikh people with supreme devotion and humility. After subjecting Bhai Jetha's spirit of service and sacrifice to several tests over the years, Guru Amar Das Ji renamed Bhai Jetha Ji as Ram Das ("servant of God"), and named him Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth Guru of the Sikhs.

The bani (spiritual revelations and writings) of Guru Ram Das ji consists of 638 sacred hymns. These hymns are recorded in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji sacred scripture. Through his writings, Guru Ram Das ji shared a common message for all mankind to live a disciplined life full of humility, and to be forever and ever grateful to the True Guru (God). A hymn from page 305 of the Guru Granth Sahib, spoken by Guru Ram Das ji, describes the morning activity of one who calls himself a Sikh of the True Guru:

"One who calls himself a Sikh of the True Guru will get up early in the morning and meditate on the Name of God. Bathe every day in the ambrosial pool and, following the Guru's instructions, chant Har, Har. All sins, misdeeds and negativity will be erased."
