The Celebration of Gurpurab
On the occasion of Gurpurab, Gurudwaras are decorated with lights and flowers. Also, people lit clay lamps called Diyas with ghee in respect of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Gurpurab festivities begin at least two days before with the reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh community’s sacred scripture.
The Akhand Path is a 48-hour non-stop reading of the holy book. During the days of celebration, processions are performed in many regions of states like Punjab and Delhi, where people do a lot of Sewa by cleaning the road before the procession for the Palki or Palanquin and providing free food and beverages to everyone, regardless of caste or background.
The Panj Pyaras, the Five Beloved Ones bearing the Sikh flag, Nishan Sahib, lead these processions. The first Panj Pyaras played an important part in establishing Sikhism’s history since they were the first to be baptised in the Sikh initiation rite of Amrit Sanchar. Each Sikh guru has a unique collection of hymns that are chanted on their birthday. Following this session, people gather for a reading from the holy book known as the Katha or reading session. After this, people frequently attend kirtan, when shabads in honour of Guru Nanak are sung.
The festivities, like in all gurudwaras, do not end without a community feast known as langar. This is provided to everyone who visits the gurudwara, regardless of caste, creed, or religion. On Gurpurab, unique dishes are prepared as an offering to the Sikh community’s founder on his birthday. The meal is prepared in the gurudwara’s communal kitchen. And is served with love and respect to the ‘Sangat’ while doing ‘Sewa’.
The Significance of Gurpurab
Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born on 15 April 1469 in the village Rai Bhoi Ki Talwandi in present Pakistan. The birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is now known as Nankana Sahib. Guru Nanak Dev’s parents were Mehta Kalu and Tripta Ji. Mata Tripta Ji was described as a religious woman. Guru Nanak Dev Ji also had an elder sister, Bebe Nanki Ji, who was married in Sultanpur Lodhi. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was married to Mata Sulakhni Ji and blessed with 2 sons, Shri Chand and Lakhmi Das.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s all teachings are in Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Guru Granth Sahib is the Eleventh guru of Sikhs and is written in Gurmukhi. Guru Nanak Dev Ji did four journeys called ‘Chaar Udassis’ in Sikh Religion. He went all over the world along with his first follower Bhai Mardana Ji because he was concerned about disseminating God’s word. His mission was to lead the people toward the true path of religion. After completing his journeys to almost all the areas of the world, Guru Nanak Dev Ji settled in Kartarpur and died there in 1539.
