Guru Ram Das Ji — the city of nectar
Guru Ram Das Ji built the township of Guru Ka Chak — which would later become Amritsar — and began digging the Amrit Sarovar, the pool of nectar, which was completed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji. He taught that the biggest battle is not outside us but inside — conquer your own mind, and you have won the world.
