Har Rai
Indian religious leader, seventh guru (teacher) of Sikhism 1644–61.
The grandson of his predecessor Hargobind, Har Rai was ordained guru at the age of 14. He protected the Adi Granth, the holy book that was to become the Guru Granth Sahib, from any change, against the wishes of the Mogul emperor Aurangzeb, who wanted Sikhism modified. Har Rai also gave people access to free medicines, and continued Hargobind's support of the Sikh army.
He appointed his five-year-old son, Har Krishen, as his successor.
