Guru Hargobind Sahibji, the sixth guru in the Sikh tradition, had been wrongfully and wilfully imprisoned by the Mughal emperor Jehangir at the Gwalior Fort. When he was finally set free, he insisted that 52 other princes who had been taken as prisoners by Jehangir should also be liberated with him.

Guruji reached the holy city of Amritsar on the auspicious day of Diwali (दीपावली) and since then, we also commemorate Diwali as Bandi Chhor Divas (बंदी छोड़ दिवस), the day when the valiant Guru who was imprisoned was released signifying the victory of Dharma, courage and resilience.

The True Guru is the giver of freedom from bondages (including the cycle of birth and death) and grants liberation in this very life.
सतगुरु सभी बन्धनों से (जन्म-मरण के चक्र से) मुक्ति दिलाने वाले हैं और इसी जीवन में जीवन–मुक्ति या मोक्ष प्रदान करते हैं ।
