Guru Tegh Bahadur the Hunter

⁣

The Mehima Prakash (1776) written by a descendant of Guru Amar Das Ji mentions how Guru Tegh Bahadur was a prolific hunter, having learned hunting at a young age from his father Guru Hargobind. ⁣

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਸਰੂਪ । ਪਰਮ ਵੈਰਾਗੀ ਰਾਜ ਸਰੂਪ ।⁣

The Exalted Guru Tegh Bahaduir is the very form of wisdom, he is the highest renunciate but also the form of royalty. ⁣

⁣

ਧੀਰਜਵਾਨ ਅਤ ਪਰਮ ਉਦਾਰ । ਸਤਗੁਰ ਸੰਗ ਨਿਤ ਚੜੇ ਸਿ਼ਕਾਰ ।⁣

Extremely resilient and the great giver; He would daily go hunting with his father Guru Hargobind. ⁣
