Mumbai: Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab or Prakash Parv, is one of the most significant occasions for Sikhs worldwide. It marks the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and the first Sikh Guru.
Celebrated annually on the full moon of Kartik (usually falling in October or November), this year’s Gurpurab is on 15 November, commemorating his 555th birth anniversary. On this day, Sikhs globally gather in Gurdwaras, homes, and community spaces to reflect on his teachings and honour his legacy.
The celebrations are filled with vibrant traditions and a deep sense of unity. Gurdwaras are beautifully decorated, hymns resonate through the air, and communities participate in processions and communal meals. However, beyond the rituals, this day emphasises Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s powerful messages of love, equality, and compassion.
In the days leading up to Guru Nanak Jayanti, Gurdwaras host an ‘Akhand Path,’ a continuous 48-hour reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, which culminates on the morning of the day itself, setting the tone for the day’s main celebrations. One of the highlights is the ‘Nagar Kirtan.’
The Nagar Kirtan is the soul of Guru Nanak Jayanti festivities. The Guru Granth Sahib is carried in a palanquin adorned with flowers, followed by community members singing hymns and chanting prayers in devotion. People of all ages join in, walking together, singing, and celebrating.
In Gurdwaras, the sound of hymns and stories of Guru Nanak’s life fills the atmosphere, and his teachings on kindness and equality are shared with the devotees. True to Sikh principles, Langar is also served. This meal is open to all, regardless of faith, caste, or background, reflecting Guru Nanak’s belief in equality.
Langar is not just a meal but a representation of equality and community. It echoes Guru Nanak’s vision that every person, irrespective of their background, is equal. Many Gurdwaras enhance the day by organising charity events, and distributing food, clothes, and essentials to those in need, reflecting Guru Nanak’s message of compassion and humility.
Guru Nanak Jayanti is more than a celebration; it serves as a reminder of timeless values. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings, including the phrase “Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, Vand Chakko,” inspire individuals to live lives filled with love, integrity, and kindness. On this day, Sikhs and people worldwide reflect on and renew their commitment to these principles.
On this special day, let us embrace Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s message of love, truth, and equality with heartfelt wishes, blessings, and inspiring quotes. Let us spread the light of Guru Nanak’s wisdom to every corner of the world.
