Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab (Birthday) celebration

I attended the APPG for British Sikhs in conjunction with The Sikh Network and the Sikh Federation (UK) event to take part in the 8th Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab celebrations on Tuesday 26 November 2024 .

Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab (birthday) celebration is a unique opportunity to share his universal message of One God, Truth & Equality. Guru Nanak Dev ji is the founder of the Sikh faith and first of the living Gurus. The 3 pillars of the Sikh faith and Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teaching are:

• Naam Japo – Remembrance of God by repeating and focusing the mind on His name or identity.
• Vand Ke Chako – To share the fruits of one’s labour with others before considering oneself. Thus, to live as an inspiration and a support to the entire community.
• Kirat Karo – To carry out good deeds and earn a honest, pure and truthful livelihood by exercising ones God given skills, abilities, talents and hard labour for the benefit and improvement of the individual, their family and society at large.
