He is also credited with completing many other projects. Today the place is famous as Amritsar and is the holiest pilgrimage site in Sikhism. Guru Arjan installed the scripture of Sikhism inside the new temple in 1604. The expansion was possible due to donations as well as voluntary work by the devotees.ДЄ temple complex grew around the pool area with the Gurdwara Harmandir Sahib coming up near the pool. The Guru continued to build and expand the infrastructure of the place and in due course of time it expanded. Guru Ram Das, Guru ArjanвЂ™s father had established a town named after him Ramdaspur, which was located around a large man-made water pool called вЂњRamdas SarovarвЂќ. In вЂњTeachings of the Sikh Gurus: Selections from the Sikh ScripturesвЂќ by Christopher Shackle and Arvind Mandair, it is mentioned that Guru ArjanвЂ™s compositions combined spiritual message in an вЂњencyclopedic linguistic sophisticationвЂќ with вЂњBraj Bhasha forms and learned Sanskrit vocabularyвЂќ In fact more than half of the volume of Guru Granth Sahib and the largest collection of hymns has been composed by Guru Arjan. It was on August 30, 1604, the compilation was completed according to the Sikh tradition and later installed in the Harmandir Sahib temple on September 1, 1604.ДЄ prolific poet himself, Guru Arjan composed 2,218 hymns. Thus it speaks volumes of his inclusive approach to religion and humankind. Besides it had hymns composed by 17 Hindu bards and two Muslim bards. The collection approved by the Guru includes hymns from the first four Gurus of Sikhism and those he composed. He rejected those hymns that he perceived to be fake or diverging from the teachings of the Gurus. The Guru is said to have compiled the Adi Granth by collecting hymns of past Gurus from many places. Besides this, he also influenced Sikhism in several ways.

GuruвЂ™s execution led to a great shift in the Sikh Panth as it became armed and pursued resistance to persecution. At the age of 18, he became the fifth Sikh Guru. Born in 1563 to Guru Ram Das and Mata Bhani in Goindval, the place where Guru Arjan Singh was born, is now known for Gurdwara Chaubara Sahib.
