Guru Amar Das (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰ ਦਾਸ) (5 May 1479 -- 1 September 1574) was the third of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism and was given the title of Sikh Guru on 26 March 1552. Guru Amar Das Ji became Sikh Guru at the age of 73 following in the footsteps of his teacher Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji, who died on 29 March 1552 at age 48.

Guru Amar Das ji established his headquarters in the town of Goindwal Sahib, which was established by Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji. Guru Amar Das Ji strongly discouraged the caste system. He raised the status of women by prohibiting the practice of Sati (a wife's suicide on her husband's funeral pyre) and "Parrda" (veil covering the face).

He created the prayer ritual called Anand Sahib, which is one of the Five Banis recited daily. He also contributed 907 hymns to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib!

Guru Amar Das Ji established 22 branches called Manjis and appointed a local Sikh preacher for each location.

Guru Amar Das ji died on 1 September 1574(1574-09-01) (aged 95) in Amritsar, Punjab and was succeeded by Guru Ram Das (4th Guru of Sikhism).
