At Nanded in October 1708, shortly before his death, Guru Gobind Singh passed the Guruship to the scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, rather than to a successor. Since then Sikhs have had no living Guru: the Granth is the Guru. The day is kept on Kattak sudi 2, the second day of the bright half of Kattak.
