The Story of Gurbaaz
Gurbaaz is a Punjabi Sikh name composed of two elements: 'Gur' (ਗੁਰ), referring to the Guru (the Sikh Gurus or divine teacher), and 'baaz' (ਬਾਜ਼), meaning falcon or hawk — a bird revered for its courage and hunting prowess. Together, Gurbaaz means 'falcon of the Guru' or 'brave warrior of the Guru.' The falcon holds special significance in Sikhism as Guru Gobind Singh Ji often carried a hawk, symbolizing spiritual sovereignty and martial valor.
