Baba Deep Singh Shaheed (26th January 1682 - 13th November 1757), is one of the most honoured martyrs in Sikh history. Baba Deep Singh was the founder and leader of the famous "Shaheedan Di Misl" among the 12 misls.

Baba Deep Singh was the first head of Damdami Taksal (Damdama school of learning) a 300 years old religious school of the Sikhs which was founded by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Tall and strong, Baba Deep Singh Ji was an exceptionally brave Sikh.

A bold and fearless saint-soldier Baba Deep Singh was ever ready to risk his life for the Panth. Baba Deep Singh was born on January 26, 1682 (some records register this as January 20) and died fighting at Amritsar in November 1757 when he was about 75 years old. From about 12 years of age, he grew up around the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

Baba Deep Singh spent most of his life as a custodian of the Panth (Sikh community). He and Banda Singh Bahadur are recognised as the most honoured martyrs of the Panth who, together set a unique and amazing example for the community to follow for many generations.

Not only was Baba Deep Singh a brave and fearless soldier but a very intelligent scholar who had mastered several languages. From the time when Guru Gobind Singh came to Damdama Sahib, Baba Deep Singh was responsible for the distribution of the Guru Granth Sahib to other parts of the world and was the "head granthi" (head priest) of Damdama Sahib in Bathinda.

Gurdwara Sri Janam Asthan Baba Deep Singh
Baba Deep Singh was born at this location in the village Pahuwin on 26th January 1682. Baba Deep Singh Ji's parents were Bhai Bagtu Ji and Mata Jeoni Ji. At the age of eighteen, Baba Deep Singh received Amrit from the Panj Pyare at Anandpur Sahib on Vaisakhi day.

Baba Deep Singh took an oath to serve as one of Waheguru's warriors (Akal Purakh di fauj). With his new name, Deep Singh also learned that Sikhs are to always help the weak and needy, and to fight for truth and justice.

After receiving the vows of the Khalsa, he stayed on in Anandpur to continue his studies of the sacred texts under Bhai Mani Singh. Baba Deep Singh soon became one of the Guru's most beloved Sikhs staying in Anandpur for a total of about eight years.

Gurdwara Burj Baba Deep Singh
Gurdwara Burj Baba Deep Singh, a 20-metre high tower with a dome at the top adjoining the north-east corner of the Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, was constructed by Baba Deep Singh. Baba Deep Singh Ji had been summoned to Damdama Sahib to work with Bhai Mani Singh Ji preparing the final text of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Gobind Singh Ji recited the entire Granth Sahib to them while they wrote out the text.

After the completion of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Baba Deep Singh Ji continued, for several years, to hand write four additional copies of the holy scriptures. These four copies were dispersed, a copy each to: Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib (Patna), Takht Sri Hazur Sahib and Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib. Later the learned scholar inscribed another copy of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Arabic script which was sent to the middle east.

In 1706, before Guru Gobind Singh Ji traveled to the Deccan with Bahadur Shah, Guru Ji placed Baba Deep Singh in charge of Damdama Sahib. He sent Bhai Mani Singh to head the Sangat at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar. Baba Deep Singh spent many years at Damdama Sahib preaching Sikh values and teachings and doing service for the community. He was always ready to serve those in need and to fight for justice. Baba Ji also continued to write gutkas (books of hymns) distributing them to the Sikh community.

Baba Deep Singh remained at Talwandi after Guru Gobind Singh had left to resume his travels. Baba Deep Singh is also credited with the sinking of the well which still supplies drinking water to the complex.

Gurdwara Sri Lakeer Sahib
In 1757 the Afghan invader Ahmed Shah Abdali ordered the Harmandir Sahib to be blown up and the sacred pool to be filled with dead cows in order to destroy the source of the Sikh's spiritual strength. Ahmed Abdali appointed his son, Taimur .
