Arjan

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Arjan (1563–1606)

Indian religious leader, fifth guru (teacher) of Sikhism 1581–1606. He built the Golden Temple in Amritsar and compiled the hymns of the four preceding gurus, and his own, in the Adi Granth, the first volume of Sikh scriptures. The collection later became the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book. He died in Muslim custody, and was succeeded by his son Hargobind.

Arjan was the first guru to be martyred for refusing to convert to Islam. He was sentenced by the emperor Jahangir.
