Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab, is one of the most significant festivals for Sikhs worldwide, marking the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism. This sacred day is observed on the full moon in the month of Kartik, and it’s a time for reflection, reverence, and celebration.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings emphasize the values of humility, compassion, equality, and selfless service. On this day, followers gather in gurdwaras (Sikh temples) to sing hymns, listen to recitations from the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture), and partake in community services. One of the most iconic aspects of Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrations is the Langar, or community meal, which embodies the spirit of equality. During Langar, people of all backgrounds, religions, and social statuses are welcomed to sit together and share a meal, symbolizing unity and oneness.
This festival also includes vibrant processions, devotional singing (Kirtan), and prayers. The Golden Temple in Amritsar, a significant pilgrimage site, attracts thousands of devotees from around the world, who come to pay homage and celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s legacy.
At Airlines Group Booking, we honor the spirit of selfless service on this special day. May Guru Nanak’s teachings inspire us to lead lives of compassion and kindness. Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti to all!
