Guru Nanak-1024X768.jpg

On September 22, every year, the Sikh sangat (community) worldwide commemorate the Joti Jot (joining of the spirit with supreme Soul, God) of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of their religion which is called Sikhism. The contribution of the Guru to our understanding of life and its meaning is immense. Why not learn more about the Guru's contributions to Sikhi and how this has benefited humanity. Guru Nanak was born on April 15, 1469 but this year (2008), the Sikhs will celebrate this auspicious day on November 13 to celebrate this momentous day. Next year (2009) this day will be celebrated on November 2.

Guru Nanak Dev came into this world at a time of extreme doom and gloom when the moral standards of the ruling class had vanished; the rulers had no respect for humanity; and law of the jungle prevailed everywhere. Men’s ideas and aspirations were at an all time low. Materialistic wealth, plain greed and illusion of Maya fascinated the world and led everyone astray. Good acts and righteous behaviour no longer commended themselves to humans. They were burning with ego, pride and had no respected for others. The high and the low forgot their mutual duties. Monarchs were unjust and the nobles were butchers who held knives to men’s throats. This was the state of the world when the Guru took birth.
