Welcome - Introduction

This series delves into hundreds of stories from diverse traditions, religions, backgrounds, and experiences, as written or compiled by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Through these stories, Guru Sahib imparts profound lessons and values, illustrating both the lowest depths and the highest moral heights that humankind can achieve. This bani is part of "Kissa Literature"—a storytelling genre featuring interconnected episodes inspired by myths and/or historical events, crafted to teach moral principles. Below, you’ll find a translation of Charitr 33, corresponding to Episode 33 of the Charitropakhyan Series.
