The Ten Gurus & Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee

Shortly after the birth of Guru Teg Bahadur Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib asked many priests including Baba Budha Ji and Baba Gurdas to come with him and bless the child. On seeing the child Guru Har Gobind and Baba Budha bowed to the him and touched his feet. On being asked by one of his followers to explain his actions Guru Har Gobind said that Guru Teg Bahadur was sent to this world with a great mission: he would sacrifice his own life for the welfare of others.
