Today, the world celebrates the sacred Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and the guiding light who taught humanity the path of truth, love, equality, and compassion. On this blessed day, Kaumi Marg Media extends heartfelt greetings to all. May Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s divine teachings continue to inspire peace and harmony across the globe. Sarbat da Bhalla — the welfare of all — is the core message Guru Sahib gifted to humanity, reminding us to rise above division and embrace universal brotherhood.
Born in 1469 in Sri Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan), Guru Nanak Dev Ji traveled far and wide to spread his message of Oneness — Ik Onkar, the belief that God is One and present in every being. His teachings broke social barriers and guided people away from caste discrimination, blind rituals, and inequality.
Guru Ji’s principles are not just religious teachings, but a complete way of life:
1. Kirat Karo (Earn with Honesty)
Guru Sahib taught that one should earn one's livelihood with hard work and honesty. Real wealth comes not from greed, but from righteous efforts. This teaching inspires individuals to lead ethical lives, work sincerely, and contribute positively to society.
2. Naam Jappo (Remember the Divine)
Guru Nanak Dev Ji emphasized constant remembrance of the Creator through Naam (the Divine Name). Meditation on Waheguru purifies the mind, brings peace to the heart, and connects us with our true purpose. In today’s stressful world, this teaching acts as a soothing balm for the soul.
3. Wandh Chhako (Share with Others)
Guru Sahib encouraged everyone to share their earnings, support the needy, and practice generosity. Langar, the community kitchen established by Guru Ji, is the world’s greatest symbol of equality, where all sit together — rich or poor, without any distinctions — and partake in a meal.
These timeless teachings have shaped the Sikh identity and inspired global humanitarian values. From helping communities in crisis to feeding millions daily through Gurdwara Langars, Guru Nanak Dev Ji's principles continue to uplift lives around the world.
On this divine occasion, devotees gather in Gurdwaras, recite Gurbani, participate in Nagar Kirtan, and reflect upon the Guru’s wisdom. Homes, streets, and hearts are illuminated with joy, love, and devotion.
Message for Today
Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings are more relevant today than ever. At a time when the world faces division, conflicts, and social distress, Guru Ji reminds us to embrace love, peace, truth, and humanity. Let us practice humility, kindness, and service. Let us help the needy, respect all religions, and treat every human being as equal.
On this holy Parkash Purab, Kaumi Marg Media prays:
“May Guru Nanak Dev Ji bless the entire world with peace, prosperity, health, and happiness. May His Divine Light guide our path. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.”
