How did Aurangzeb die?
The Mughals, suffering mighty losses against the tiny Sikh fighting force, apparently killed two of Guru Gobind Singh's elder sons at the battle and decimated much of the 40 warriors of Sikh army (a hundred thousand vs 40). Guru Gobind Singh, in response, sent Aurangzeb an eloquent yet defiant letter entitled the Zafarnama (Notification of Victory), written in beautiful Arabic, accusing the emperor of treachery, and claiming a moral victory. The Guru prophesised that Mughal rule in India would soon come to an end. On receipt of this letter, Aurangzeb is said to have invited Guru Gobind Singh to meet in Ahmednagar, but Aurangzeb died before Guru Gobind Singh arrived. Debatebly, some Sikhs hold to the notion that it was the shock upon reading the letter that lead to the King's ill health and ultimately his demise. Of course, Aurangzeb was almost 90 years old when this happened.
Why did Guru Gobind Singh ask people to die?
Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji never asked anyone to die; however, I think I have an inkling to what you may possibly mean by your question.~ Below, I have included the history behind the punj pyare.The story of Baisakhi Festival began with the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru who was publicly beheaded by the Aurungzeb, the Mughal ruler. Aurungzeb wanted to spread Islam in India and Guru Tegh Bahadur stood up for the rights of Hindus and Sikhs and the Mughals therefore saw him as a threat.After the death of Guru Teg Bahadur, his son, Guru Gobind Singh became the next Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh wished to instill courage and strength to sacrifice among his fellow men. To fulfil his dream, Guru Gobind Singh called on the historic Baisakhi Day congregation of Sikhs at Keshgarh Sahib near Anandpur on March 30, 1699.When thousands of people assembled for Guru's blessing, Guru Gobind Singh came out of the tent carrying an unsheathed sword. He gave a powerful speech to infuse courage amongst fellowmen. At the end of the speech he said that every great deed was preceded by equally great sacrifice and demanded that anyone prepared to give his life come forward. On the Guru's third call, a young man offered himself. The Guru took the man inside a tent and reappeared alone with a bloodied sword. Guru Gobind Singh asked for another volunteer. This was repeated another four times until a total of five Sikhs had gone into the tent with the Guru. Everyone present was worried and though that Guru Gobind Singh has killed five Sikhs. At this point Guru presented all the five men before the people. Every one present was surprised to see all five men alive and wearing turbans and saffron-coloured garments.These five men were called Panj Pyare or 'The Five Beloved Ones' by the Guru. The Guru blessed them with a Pahulceremony. In an iron vessel, the Guru stirred with a sword called Khanda Sahib, the batasha that his wife, Mata Sundari Ji had put into water. The congregation recited verses from scriptures as the Guru performed the sacred ceremony. The water was now considered the sacred nectar of immortality called amrit. It was first given to the five volunteers, then drunk by the guru and later distributed amongst the crowd. With this ceremony, all those present, irrespective of caste or creed, became members of the Khalsa Pantha (the Order of the Pure Ones).The Guru regarded the Panch Piaras as the first members of the Khalsa and the embodiment of the Guru himself. With the constitution of the Panj Pyare the high and low castes were amalgamated into one as among the original Panj Pyare, there was one Khatri, shopkeeper; one Jat, farmer; one Chhimba, calico printer; one Ghumar, water-carrier; and one Nai, a barber. The Guru gave the surname of Singh (Lion) to every Sikh and also took the name for himself. From Guru Gobind Rai he became Guru Gobind Singh. This was seen as a great step in national integration because society at that time was divided on the basis of religion, caste and social status.Guru Gobind Singh also bestowed on Khalsa, the unique Sikh identity. He directed Sikhs to wear five K's: Kesh or long hair, Kangha or comb, Kripan or dagger, Kachha or shorts and a Kara or bracelet. Guru Gobind Singh also discontinued the tradition of Gurus and asked all Sikhs to accept the Grantha Sahib as their eternal guide. He urged them to come to him with their hair and beard unshorn to get baptized by the sword.
When did the Khalsa start?
The Khalsa was started in 1699 by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. At a time of turmoil when the mughals were killing innocent civilians for refusing to convert to Islam Guru Gobind Singh created a new race which would stand up for people of all races, colors, class etc. on vaisakhi 1699 Guru Gobind Singh called his fellow Sikhs to Anandpur. Where he addressed the thousands of people. With a unsheathed sword he called for a head. he called 3 times before one person came forward and said that he was willing to die for his faith. The school book description is that Guru Gobind Singh took him into a tent and everyoneheard a bang then Guru Gobin Singh Came out of the tent with a sword dripping with blood. He called for 4 more heads. 4 more devotees came foard and went into the tent. There names were:Dharam SinghHimmat SinghDaya SinghMohokam SinghSahib SinghAfter the guru came out of the tent for the final time the 5 Sikhs followed him out. Dressed in blue attire and Guru Gobind told the crowds of people that this was the uniform of the Sikh's and everyone would be able to dstinguish a Sikh just by looking at his appearance. that is where the guru gave the Sikhs the 5k's. from that day he called every initiated Sikh a khalsa. the khalsa is the army of god and is as of yet undefeated

How did guru gobind singh ji die?
DeathWazir Khan, the Nawab of Sirhind, felt uneasy about any conciliation between Guru Gobind Singh and Bahadur Shah I. He commissioned two Pathans, Jamshed Khan and Wasil Beg, to assassinate the Guru. The two secretly pursued the Guru and got an opportunity to attack him at Nanded. According to Sri Gur Sobha by the contemporary writer Senapati, Jamshed Khan stabbed the Guru in the left side below the heart while he was resting in his chamber after the Rehras prayer. Guru Gobind Singh killed the attacker with his Sabre, while the attacker's fleeing companion was killed by the Sikhs who had rushed in on hearing the noise.The European surgeon sent by Bahadar Shah stitched the Guru's wound. However, the wound re-opened and caused profuse bleeding, as the Guru tugged at a hard strong bow after a few days. Seeing his end was near, the Guru declared the Granth Sahib as the next Guru of the Sikhs,. He then sang his self-composed hymn:"Agya bhai Akal ki tabhi chalayo Panth Sabh Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo Granth Guru Granth Ji manyo pargat Guran ki deh Jo Prabhu ko milbo chahe khoj shabad mein le Raj karega Khalsa aqi rahei na koe Khwar hoe sabh milange bache sharan Jo hoe."Translation of the above:"Under orders of the Immortal Being, the Panth was created. All the Sikhs are enjoined to accept the Granth as their Guru. Consider the Guru Granth as embodiment of the Gurus. Those who want to meet God, can find Him in its hymns. The Khalsa shall rule, and its opponents will be no more, Those separated will unite and all the devotees shall be savedThe Guru died along with his horse Dilbag on 7 October, 1708 at Nandedhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Gobind_Singh#Death
