DESCRIPTION:
Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrates Guru Nanak Dev Ji (April 15, 1469-September 22, 1539), the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. It is one of the holiest days in Sikhism and may be celebrated in November or April, on his birth.
Ji was born in the village of Talwandi (Nankana Sahib) in present-day Pakistan. His teachings formed the basis of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion emphasizing the importance of a truthful and purposeful life.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji believed in one supreme God, who he referred to as "Waheguru." His teachings centered on equality, social justice, and service to others. He rejected the caste system and believed all human beings are equal, irrespective of their social or religious backgrounds. Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings form the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism.
Some fundamental teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji include:
Oneness of God—Guru Nanak Dev Ji preached that only one supreme creator exists who is formless, eternal, and all-pervading. He taught his followers to devote themselves to this one God and always remember Him.
Equality—Guru Nanak Dev Ji emphasized the importance of treating everyone equally, regardless of caste, gender, or religion. He sought to eliminate discrimination and promote unity among all people.
The importance of honest living—Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught that one should earn their living through honest means and should not exploit others. He stressed the importance of hard work, humility, and compassion.
Service to others (Seva)—He encouraged his followers to serve others selflessly, as this was a way to attain spiritual growth and come closer to God.
Meditation and remembrance of God (Naam Japna)—Guru Nanak Dev Ji promoted meditating on the name of God and constantly remembering Him to stay spiritually connected and attain inner peace.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji traveled extensively throughout his life, spreading his message and engaging in dialogues with people from various religious and cultural backgrounds. These journeys, called Udasis, took him to different parts of the Indian subcontinent and even beyond, including present-day Sri Lanka, Tibet, and the Middle East. His teachings inspire and guide millions worldwide, providing a spiritual foundation for the Sikh community.
