SAHIBJADA AJIT SINGH JI

Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji was Guru Ji's eldest son, born to Mata Sundhri Ji on 9th November 1686 at Anandpur Sahib. He received the gift of Amrit from the panj piaray on Baisakhi 1699. In the battle of Sarsa he had commanded the rear guard of Guru Ji's camp.
In the Chamkaur fortress S.Ajit Singh Ji had seen the Sikh warriors go out in fives and die heroic deaths. He approched his father and asked if he could be next. Guru Ji took him in his arms and blessed him. Guru Ji sent him out with five Sikhs - Alim Singh, Jawahar Singh, Dhyan Singh, Sukha Singh and Bir Singh. The enemy fell before them as shrubs in a wind storm as they fought with great valour. When their arrows had been spend and swords broken they fell one by one. Sahibzada Ajit Singh at the tender age of 18 years died in battle as befitting a Sikh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
