In 2024, this significant day will be observed on November 15. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in 1469 in Rai Bhoi di Talwandi, now known as Nankana Sahib in Pakistan. He was the first of the ten Sikh Gurus and a philosopher, poet, and spiritual leader. Guru Nanak’s teachings emphasized the values of equality, compassion, and devotion to one universal God. He rejected social divisions based on caste, creed, and religion and inspired people to live lives of honesty, humility, and service. Guru Nanak Jayanti is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the world. Sikhs, along with people of other faiths who follow Guru Nanak’s teachings, engage in various religious and social activities like Prayers and Kirtans, Nagar Kirtan and Paath, Decoration and lightening of Gurudwaras and Langar Sewa to mark the occasion. This Guru Nanak Jayanti is special as it marks the 555th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Ji.
