Sri Guru Harkrishan Ji born in 1656 in Punjab. As a child he was fond of listening to and reciting Gurbani (hymns in the central text of the Sikhs and various compositions by the Sikh Gurus and other writers). He offered a verse to the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who was so impressed he abandoned his own son and, before dying, anointed this man (who was only 5 years old) as the next guru
