Sri Guru Hargobindji was directly related to seven Guru Sahibs

       Guru Hargobindji was the sixth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism. Guru Ji was born on 19 June 1595 to Mata Ganga Ji and Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji (5th Guru).

        Guru Arjan Devji was the son of Guru Ram Dasji (4th Guru) and Bibi Bhaniji. Guru Ramdasji, hence, was the Grandfather (Dadaji) of Guru Hargobindji. Bibi Bhaniji was the daughter of Guru Amardasji (3rd Guru) and Mata Mansaji. This makes Guru Amardasji the Great-Grandfather of Guru Hargobindji.

         In 1701 Bikrami Guru Ji passed on the mantle (gurugaddi) to his grandson Sri Guru Har Rai ji (7th Guru). Guru Har Rai ji made Guru Harkrishan sahibji (8th Guru), his son, the successor. Guru Harkrishan sahibji is, hence, the Great-Grandson of Guru Hargobind Sahibji.

         The ninth Guru of Sikhs Guru Tegh Bahadurji was the son of Guru Hargobind Sahibji. Guru Tegh Bahadurji's son Guru Gobind Singhji was the tenth Guru. So, Guru Gobind Singhji was the Grandson of Guru Hargobind Sahibji.

          Guru Hargobinji was hence, the Great-Grandson of Guru Amardasji, Grandson of Guru RamDasji, Son of Guru Arjan Devji, Father to Guru Tegh Bahadurji, Grandfather of Guru Har Rai ji and Guru Gobind Singhji and Great-Grandfather of Guru Harkrishanji.

           But one thing has to be remembered, that, though Sikhism had ten guru sahibs, but their soul was one. The names were ten but all had the same qualities and values.
