Ram Das
(redirected from Guru Ram Das)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Ram Das (1534–1581)

Indian religious leader, fourth guru (teacher) of Sikhism 1574–81, who founded the Sikh holy city of Amritsar.

Ram Das encouraged Sikhs to gather in the city to set up their trades in the marketplace, and Sikhs to this day are encouraged to run their own businesses. He wrote the Lavan, four hymns used for the marriage service, so that Sikhs did not have to follow Hindu ceremonies at weddings. Ram Das chose his youngest son, Arjan, as his successor.
