The Significance Of Gurupurab marks the birth anniversary of the Sikh Gurus, who were the founders and propagators of the fifth largest religion in India, Sikhism.
The word Sikh is derived from a Sanskrit word which means ‘a student’. And where there is a student, it is but obvious that there will be a teacher as well. The holy teacher was called as the ‘Guru’ and Gurupurab marks the celebration of the birthdays of the Sikh Gurus.
Gurupurab Guru Nanak Dev was the founder of the Sikh religion and every year his birth anniversary is celebrated with special zeal and vigor by not only the Sikh community but by people from all other religions as well, across the globe.
We would love to share the three principles that are the foundation of Sikhism: Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, and Vand Ke Chhako, which mean to meditate on God who is the supreme power, working hard and honestly to earn a living, and sharing whatever you have with your fellow humans.
To conclude We would like to share a line that comes in the Sikh prayer known as “Ardaas”. It goes like this: “Nanak Naam Chardi Kala, Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala”. The meaning is that Waheguru’s blessings are always there for the welfare of the whole of mankind and every other form of life that exists on the earth.
Whenever you pray, ask for yourself as much as you want, but do not forget to ask for others as well, as we all are children of one Creator, one God. A beautiful thought indeed!
