Baba Jiwan Singh, originally named Bhai Jaita, was born on 13 December , 1661, in Patna, Bihar, to Bhai Sada Nand and Mata Premo.He was a devoted Sikh who played a pivotal role in Sikh history. Following the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur in 1675, Bhai Jaita bravely transported the Guru's severed head from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib, delivering it to Guru Gobind Singh. In recognition of his unwavering devotion and courage, Guru Gobind Singh honored him with the title "Rangrete Guru Ka Beta," meaning "The Rangreta is the Guru's own son."
Bhai Jaita was later initiated into the Khalsa and received the name Bhai Jiwan Singh. He fought valiantly in several battles alongside Guru Gobind Singh, including the Battle of Bhangani and the Battle of Nadaun. His dedication culminated in his martyrdom during the Battle of Chamkaur on 23 December 1704. A memorial, Gurdwara Shaheed Burj Sahib, now stands at the site of his martyrdom, commemorating his sacrifice and steadfast commitment to the Sikh faith.
