The Sovereign Cavalry
Upon becoming Guru at age 14, he maintained a highly trained cavalry of 2,200 horsemen. However, he followed a strict vow of non-aggression. He used this force not for conquest, but as a deterrent against tyranny and to protect the local people, proving that true peace requires prepared strength.
