On becoming the Sikhs 7th guru Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji were left with a vast array of soldiers horses and weapons. Even though his grandfather Guru Hargobind Ji (1595-1644) had fought 4 battles they insisted to their grandson that he should not engage in any warfare but continue the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guruji was a great environmentalist and set an example before us to preserve the earth. We should take his mission forward by planting a tree on all our special occasions.
