Guru AmarDas Ji was the third Sikh guru out of the 10. Before he became a Sikh guru Guru AmarDas Ji was a vaishnavite Hindu with keen belief in his religion. His contribution to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib is very significant because he added 907 hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib. He completed the task of writing the Guru Granth Sahib which was left and completed by the two other gurus especially Guru Angad Dev Ji.
