The Sikh Panth knows that at the time of the Creation of the
Khalsa, on the Baisakhi day of 1699, five Sikhs turned up at the call of
the Guru, who offered their heads. All the five together, are known as
'Panj Piyaare' or the five beloved ones. All the five stood by Guru
Dasmesh as fully committed Saint Sipahis. In all the battlefields, they
were always at the forefront. While two ofthem viz. Bhai Daya Singh
and Bhai Dharam Singh were with him till he departed from this mortal
world, the other three, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Sahib Singh and Bhai
Mohkam Singh, obtained martyrdom while fighting at Chamkaur.
At Chamkaur, when Sahibzada Ajit Singh jumped into the
battlefield with the blessings from his father - Guru, eight Sikhs
including Bhai Mohkam Singh accompanied him and faced the enemy
forces. The strength of the enemy forces has been given by many
chronicles as ofmore than Ten Lakhs (one million). Eight or nine Guru
Ke Sikhs were facing one million! How does it look? Just see how does
it show the new spirit and the strength that was filled and inculcated in
the Khalsa by their beloved Guru. All the Sikhs including 'Guru
Piyara' Mohkam Singh and 'Guru Puttar' Ajit Singh faced martyrdom
after causing heavy casualties in the enemy forces.
Then 'Guru Piyaare' Bhai Sahib Singh and Bhai Himmat Singh
accompanied Sahibzada Jujhar Singh in the field after the batch of
warriors, as mentioned above had obtained martyrdom. They also laid
down their lives over there but did not look back even for a moment.
