ੴ Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji ੴ

 

Guru Nanak Jayanti is one of the most awaited festivals celebrated in Sikh community Gurpurab is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev. He composed many songs and hymns.  The founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was a benevolent and kind human being ever since he was young. He was very well-known for preaching peace, love, and brotherhood among Hindus and Muslims since these communities would frequently engage in communal conflicts. Guru Nanak Dev Ji had famously put down three main teachings which he urged all his followers to practice. This year marks the 553rd birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, who laid the foundation of Sikhism.



He opposed the caste and religious divides that bound society and urged people to love one another. Guru Nanak Dev Ji always stressed three main mottos - always helping the poor and needy, always following honest means of living, and always keeping God’s name in one’s heart. He preached that human weaknesses were nothing but our own negative emotions, which can demonise and possess our minds into doing evil tasks. He always stressed that there was only one God, and anyone could be one with God without the use of rituals or idols. Guru Nanak Dev Ji always teaches people to never be swayed by anger, greed, and selfishness and instead to practice love and universal brotherhood. 


 His musical poetry became very popular as people could find relevance to their daily lives. All these songs are written in Gurmukhi Language. He renamed Bhai Lehna as Guru Angad and made him his successor. He lived a happy and peaceful life amidst his disciples and died at the age of 70 on 22nd September 1539. It is said that his body was never found. His disciples just found a pile of flowers underneath the shroud. These form the basic tenets of Sikhism and every Sikh is expected to live their life abiding by these principles. First, “Naam Japna” or always muttering the name of God no matter what activity one is doing. Only then can someone truly attain God. The second tenet is “Kirat Karo'' which refers to relying on an honest livelihood and staying away from all forms of temptations. The third is “vand chakko”, which indicates that people should always give to the poor and needy and selflessly engage in charity.
