The town grew to become the city of Amritsar, and the pool area grew into a temple complex after his son built the gurdwara Harmandir Sahib, and installed the scripture of Sikhism inside the new temple in 1604. The town expanded during the time of Arjan financed by donations and constructed by voluntary work. He invited merchants and artisans from other parts of India to settle into the new town with him. He started by completing the pool, and building his new official Guru centre and home next to it. After his coronation in 1574, and the hostile opposition he faced from the sons of Amar Das, Ram Das founded the town named after him as "Ramdaspur". Īccording to the Sikh historical records, the site was chosen by Guru Amar Das and called Guru Da Chakk, after he had asked Ram Das to find land to start a new town with a man made pool as its central point. In one based on a Gazetteer record, the land was purchased with Sikh donations, for 700 rupees from the owners of the village of Tung. Two versions of stories exist regarding the land where Ram Das settled. Guru Ram Das is credited with founding the holy city of Amritsar in the Sikh tradition. The competing texts do acknowledge disagreement and describe Prithi Chand as having become the Sahib Guru after the martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev and disputing the succession of Guru Hargobind, the grandson of Ram Das. However, alternate competing texts written by the Prithi Chand led Sikh faction to offer a different story, contradict this explanation on Hargobind's life, and present the elder son of Ram Das as devoted to his younger brother Arjan. The elder son of Ram Das named Prithi Chand is remembered in the Sikh tradition as vehemently opposing Arjan, creating a faction Sikh community which the Sikhs following Arjan called as Minas (literally, "scoundrels"), and is alleged to have attempted to assassinate young Hargobind. The choice of successor led to disputes and internal divisions among the Sikhs. Of his three sons, Ram Das chose Arjan, the youngest, to succeed him as the fifth Sikh Guru. Guru Ram Das died on 1 September 1581, in Goindval town of Punjab. Early life īefore becoming Guru, Ram Das represented Guru Amar Das in the Mughal court. They had three sons: Prithi Chand, Mahadev and Guru Arjan. He married Bibi Bhani, the younger daughter of Amar Das. His father was Hari Das and mother Daya Kaur, both of whom died when he was aged seven. Guru Ram Das was born on 24 September 1534 in a Sodhi Khatri family in Chuna Mandi, Lahore. The Gurdwara Janam Asthan Guru Ram Das in Lahore, Pakistan, commemorates the birthplace of the Guru. He appointed his own son as his successor, and unlike the first four Gurus who were not related through descent, the fifth through tenth Sikh Gurus were the direct descendants of Ram Das. He is also remembered in the Sikh tradition for expanding the manji organization for clerical appointments and donation collections to theologically and economically support the Sikh movement.
This newly founded town was eponymous Ramdaspur, later to evolve and be renamed as Amritsar – the holiest city of Sikhism. He faced hostility from the sons of Amar Das, and shifted his official base to lands identified by Amar Das as Guru-ka-Chak. Guru Ram Das became the Guru of Sikhism in 1574 and served as the 4th guru until he gave up his body in 1581. As with the first two Gurus of Sikhism, Guru Amar Das instead of choosing his own sons, chose Bhai Jetha as his successor and renamed him as Ram Das or "servant of god." The daughter of Guru Amar Das married Bhai Jetha, and he thus became part of Guru Amar Das's family. The boy thereafter accepted Guru Amar Das as his mentor and served him. Īt age 12, Bhai Jetha and his grandmother moved to Goindval, where they met Guru Amar Das. His birth name was Jetha, and he was orphaned at age 7 he there after grew up with his maternal grandmother in a village. He was born on 24 September 1534 in a family based in Lahore. Guru Ram Das ( Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਮ ਦਾਸ, pronunciation: 24 September 1534 – 1 September 1581) was the fourth of the ten Gurus of Sikhism.
