(Birth anniversary) of Elder Son (Sahibzada Baba Ajit Singh ji) of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji (tenth Guru ) is being celebrated on 14.02.2010 at Gurdwara Sahib Langenthal (Dennliweg 31A 4900 Langenthal).
Sahibzada Ajit Singh (1687 - 1705), the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh, was born to Mata Sundari ji at Paonta Sahib on 26 January, 1687. The following year, Guru Gobind Singh returned with the family to Anandpur where Ajit Singh was brought up in the approved Sikh style. He was taught the religious texts, philosophy and history, and had training in the manly arts such as riding, swordsmanship and archery.
In the words of Guru Gobind Singh's Zafarnamah, a mere forty defying a million. The besieged, after they had exhausted the meagre stock of ammunition and arrows, made sallies in batches of five each to engage the encircling host with sword and spear. Sahibzada Ajit Singh led one of the sallies and laid down his life fighting in the thick of the battle. Gurudwara Qatalgarh now marks the spot where he fell, followed by Sahibzada Jujhar Singh.
