Friends, today I am giving you information about the important festival of Sikhs (who are very joyous in nature). Since it is full of faith and trust, I hope you will enjoy knowing about it.
So let’s start without delay with their main festival.
THE BIRTH OF A SPIRITUAL LEADER
Friends, this name is only known because the Sikhs celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Ji. Guru Nanak Jayanti is celebrated on the day of Kartaki Poonam, fifteen days after Diwali. The birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first founder of Sikhism among the ten Gurus of Sikhs, is celebrated with great faith and devotion. It is said to be the most important purna in Sikhism. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born on April 15, 1469, in Raibhoi-di-Talwandi, present-day Pakistan. Guru Nanak Dev Ji pioneered Sikh philosophy and ethics by incorporating love, compassion, equality, and service in his teachings. The people of the Sikh religion are engaged in pehla seva for many days. During this festival, the Gurdwara is cleaned and decorated with glittering lights. On the day of Guru Nanak Jayanti, every road seems to lead to the Gurudwara. Devotees at the Gurudwara in the morning refresh their memory of their Guru’s teachings by attending prayers, devotional songs, stories, and other programs.
How is Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrated?
Prabhatferi (walking through the streets singing devotional music at dawn). A palanquin procession carrying the Guru Granth Sahib leaves the Gurudwara through the streets of the town and returns to the Gurudwara, during which a large number of Sikhs join in. Sikhs learn to follow one of the teachings of their guru, selfless service, as part of the Lanagar Seva celebrations, serving free food to all visitors, irrespective of religion, creed, or caste. Here, equality is seen. This festival brings every Sikh together and makes their faith unwavering. Since this festival is of Guru Ji, spirituality is more intense as it has a spiritual connection with faith. On this day, there is time for self-reflection, gratitude, doing something new, and living life according to the teachings given by one’s Guru Ji. Sikhs are full of unwavering faith and trust. They are always ready for selfless service.
