Baba Zorawar Singh & Baba Fateh Singh — young, fearless

While Guru Gobind Singh Ji fought at Chamkaur, his two younger sons — Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji — were captured along with their grandmother, Mata Gujri Ji. They were imprisoned in a cold tower and brought before the Nawab of Sarhind, who offered them wealth, safety, and a future — if only they would give up their faith. Baba Zorawar Singh was nine years old. Baba Fateh Singh was seven. Both refused. They were bricked alive into a wall on the 27th of Poh — a day that Sikhs around the world remember with deep reverence as Shaheedi Sahibzade Diwas. Their story is not just about death — it is about the kind of love for Waheguru that makes even the smallest child fearless.

Today's idea

Baba Zorawar Singh was nine and Baba Fateh Singh was seven when they were given a choice — and they chose their faith without hesitation.

Pick two or three — there's no wrong way to do a day.

Talk together

Ask: 'The youngest Sahibzada was only seven years old. What does his courage teach us about what faith can do for a person?'
