He was born while his father was on a tour of the neighbouring state of Assam, spreading God's word.There is a famous saying that a ruler was destined to be born in a land where, intelligent and strong he would lead the Sikhs as a brave warrior and so it was that he was born by the side of the Holy Ganges (present day Patna Sahib) where he learned Persian and Sanskrit when he was a child and was also trained to become a warrior.
