Happy Gurpurab to all

Guru Nanak dev ji's Gurpurab is celebrated every year on Kartik Poornima, the full-moon day which falls on different dates each year in the month of October–November.

 

It commemorates the birth of Shri Guru Nanak dev ji, the founder and first Guru of Sikhism.

 

Traveling far and wide, Guru Nanak taught people the message of one God who dwells in every one of His creations and constitutes the eternal Truth. He set up a unique spiritual, social, and political platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness, and virtue.

 

Guru Nanak's words are registered in the form of 974 poetic hymns in the holy text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, with some of the major prayers being the Japji Sahib, the Asa di Var and the Sidh-Ghost.
