Who was the last human Sikh Guru?

Guru Gobind Singh was the last human Sikh Guru.

Born in 1666, Gobind Singh became the tenth Sikh Guru in 1675, when he was only nine years old. He succeeded his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, who had been executed in Delhi during the rule of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

One of Guru Gobind Singh’s most important achievements was founding the Khalsa in 1699. He introduced the Five Ks and created a disciplined community committed to faith, courage, and equality. He was also a poet, warrior, and scholar associated with important Sikh literary and devotional works.

In 1708, at Nanded, Guru Gobind Singh ended the line of human succession by giving the Guruship to the Guru Granth Sahib. The scripture is therefore regarded as the eternal and living Guru of Sikhism. A common mistake is to call Gobind Singh the final Sikh Guru without the qualifier “human”; Sikh tradition continues to recognize the Guru Granth Sahib as the permanent Guru.
