Guru Har Rai became the seventh leader of the Sikh religion at a young age and skillfully managed the Sikh army without engaging in military conflicts. He supported Dara Shikoh over Aurangzeb during a succession war, leading to a confrontation with Aurangzeb. Guru Har Rai’s commitment to upholding Sikh scripture resulted in the excommunication of his elder son, Ram Rai, who altered a verse to please Aurangzeb. This event led to his younger son, Har Krishan, succeeding him as the eighth Guru.
