By incorporating the hymns of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib Ji in Sri Adi Granth, Emperor Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji structured the scriptural foundation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In the city of Abchal Nagar Sri Hazoor Sahib Nanded, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji bowed before Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and established the perpetual legacy of the Word Guru for the Sikh community.
