The Coronation of the Child Guru
At just five years old, Har Krishan was appointed the Eighth Guru. His elder brother, Ram Rai, had compromised the integrity of Gurbani to please the Mughal Emperor. In contrast, the young Guru maintained absolute spiritual purity, proving that Divine Light (Jot) does not depend on physical age.
