Guru Nanak Jayanti or Gurpurab is being celebrated with religious fervour today. The day marks the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak, who laid the foundation of Sikhism. This year marking the 549th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, Sikh devotees around the world offer prayers.
The Golden temple in Amritsar celebrates Gurpurab with gaiety and enthusiasm. Starting with ‘Akhand Path’, the gurdwaras recite 48-hour long, non-stop verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. They carry palanquins in Nagar Kirtan processions too. Guru Nanak Dev was born on Kartik Purnima in 1469 in Nankana Sahib, now in Pakistan.
Dear Esteemed Reader, on our completion of 7 years, we look forward for the support & blessings that you have always given us.
