'''Bhai Dharam Singh''' (1666–1708), one of the [[Panj Pyare]] or the Five Beloved, the forerunners of [[Khalsa]].He was the son of Chaudhary Sant Ram and Mai Sabho a [[Hindu]], [[Jat]] of the village Saifpur-Karamchandpur, [[Hastinapur]], [[Meerut District]].

==Joins 10th Guru==
Dharam [[Singh (surname)|Singh]], as he was originally named, was born around 1666. As a young man, he fell into the company of a [[Sikh]] who introduced him to the teachings of the [[Guru]]s. He left home at the age of thirteen in quest of further instruction. At the Sikh shrine of Nanak Piau, dedicated to [[Guru Nanak]], he was advised to go to [[Guru Gobind Singh]] at [[Anandpur Sahib|Anandpur]], where he arrived in 1698.

==Offered his head==
A few months later came the historic [[Baisakhi]] congregation at which five Sikhs responding to five successive calls of [[Guru Gobind Singh]] offered one after the other to lay down their heads. Dharam Singh was one of those five. The Guru blessed them and called them [[Panj Pyare]], the five beloved of him. They were anointed as the first five members of the brotherhood of the [[Khalsa]] inaugurated on that day. [[Guru Gobind Singh]] then asked them to administer to him the vows of initiation.

==Delivered Zafarnamah==
Dharam Singh, took part in the battles of [[Anandpur Sahib|Anandpur]]. He was in [[Guru Gobind Singh]]'s train when [[Anandpur Sahib|Anandpur]] and thereafter [[Chamkaur]] were evacuated. He accompanied [[Bhai Daya Singh]] to the South to deliver [[Guru Gobind Singh]]'s letter, the [[Zafarnama (letter)|Zafarnamah]], to [[Emperor Aurangzeb]].

==Support of Prince Mua'zzam==
During the war of succession following the death of Aurangzib on 20 February 1707, [[Guru Gobind Singh]] took the part of the rightful claimant to the imperial throne, Prince Mua'zzam, and sent for his help Bhai Dharam Singh who with his small band of [[Sikh]]s fought in the battle of Jajau (8 June 1707). He accompanied [[Guru Gobind Singh]] to [[Nanded]] and was with him at the time of his death on 7 October 1708.

==Return home==
Dharam Singh died at [[Nanded]]. A [[Gurdwara]] there preserves the memory jointly of Bhai Dharam Singh and [[Bhai Daya Singh]].
