Gurunanak Jayanti celebrates the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev. He was born on the full moon day in the month of Kartik according to the Hindu Calendar in 1469 A.D. at Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi, thirty (30) miles from Lahore, in the present Pakistan. He is the founder of Sikhism who believed that there is only one God in whose eyes we are all equal. Visit Us : http://www.victoriouskidsseducares.org/
While being credited with the finding of a new religion known as Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings have always had a universal appeal especially among the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike. Highly appealing at once both to reason and devotion, Guru Nanak's teachings are deeply rooted in the dogmas of Hinduism and Islam. The source of Guru Nanak's teachings is the holy scripture of Sikhs called Guru Granth Sahib.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji, 2nd Sikh Guru Ji.Balvir Singh
Guru Angad Dev Ji is the second of the ten Sikh Guru. He was born on March, 31, 1504, his father Sri Pheru Mal Ji and Mata Ramo Ji named him Lehna. Guru Ji’s Birth place is “Sarai Naga” near Muktsar.
The time period immediately after the departure of Guru Nanak Dev Ji was a very challenging for the followers of Nanak. Sikh community was at a nascent stage of formation and faced danger of extinction as it had happened to the various Bhakti movements during the past. It was due to the efforts of Guru Angad Dev Ji, Sikhism flourished upholding the principles and vision of Sri Guru Nanak.
Baisakhi of 1699. At Anandpur on 13th April 1699 Baisakhi function started wi...Balvir Singh
Guru Gobind Singh at the age of nine was formally installed as the 10th Guru of the Sikhs. He stayed at Anandpur Sahib till 19/20th Dec 1699. This period from 1675 to 1699 was a period of consolidation of Sikh fundamentals and awakening of masses for the upliftment of society.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1698-99 sends messages to the Sikhs across India to come to the Anandpur Sahib on the Baisakhi of 1699 (13th April 1699). An eye witness reports a a gathering of about one Lakh devotee at Anandpur Sahib to Aurangzeb.
At Anandpur on 13th April 1699 Baisakhi function started with prayers and devotional Kirtan. After a while Guru Ji came in front of the large gathering with a sword in hand and said “The entire sangat is very dear to me. A need has arisen at this moment for a head (Sacrifice), will someone come forward.” (quote Bhai Santokh Singh, from “Sri Gur Suraj Prakash Granth”)
One after another on five such calls, five beloved offered their head to Guru Ji. These Panj Piyare came from different section of society one each from Khatri (shopkeeper), Jat (farmer), Chhimba (Calico printer/tailor), Ghumar (water-carrier) and Nai (barber) .
Guru himself said “Khalsa came into its existence by the will of God”. Guru Ji had a vision of Khalsa that will rise from all sections of society, have a distinct appearance, live with of pride and self-respect. Khalsa will neither get threaten nor fear from any boud. The Khalsa is a true Saint and Soldier.
Sikhism - The world's newest religion.pdfBalvir Singh
Sikhism founded by Guru Nanak Dev about 550 years ago is the world’s recently religion. Sikhs have their own Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Scripture), Harmandir Sahib (Central religious place), Takhat (Seat of power), Flag, History, and its follower’s a distinct appearance. It is the world’s fifth largest religion with about 25 million followers all over the world.
Some people are unaware about Sikh religion, history, and their culture. Sikhism have been facing attacks from Arya Samaj who called Sikhism as a sub-sect of Hinduism and missionaries since the annexation of Punjab by the British in 1849 AD. During the present time also some politically motivated fundamentalists continue their tirade against Sikhism. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other chatting platforms are often used by them to further their agenda and spread false information.
A book “Ham Hindu Nahi” by Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha a celebrated Sikh scholar was first published in June 1898 to educate and confront challenges to Sikhism. He wrote that this book is to remove misgiving that Sikhism is a part of Hinduism by giving references from Hindu scriptures and Sri Guru Granth Sahib and proved difference in religious believe of the two. He also cautioned Sikhs that they shall respect all other religions equally. He also clarified in the book that “if he says Sikhs are not Hindus it also implies that Sikhs are neither a follower of Muslim nor of any other religions.”

This is history book on Guru Gobind Singh. Guru Gobind became the Sikhs 10th Guru. He at the age of 9 years changed
the concept of religion, in which a religious person was a complete Saint and
Soldier (Saint & Sipahi). A large number of Hindus and Muslims mainly from
the lower strata of society were attracted towards Guru Gobind.
• He at the age of 33 years created Khalsa (The pure one) in 1699 on the Baisaki
day of 1699. Guru Gobind himself took Amrit from Panj Piara’s .
• He made innumerable personal sacrifices by Sacrificing his father Guru Tegh
Bahadar Ji, his four young son’s and mother Mata Gujri Ji besides thousands of
his loved ones. Here I will cover all the major incidents from his life. He finally
bestowed Guruship to Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Sept 1708

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

(IslamicsystemofeducationforPersian&Arabic)forlong.
It is said he use to question them about the Creator and role of the

lines and atrocities inflicted on common man by the Rulers
and discrimination by High Caste Priests.
12. Sri Guru Nanak discarded religious rituals which
created difference among people of society.
Janeou is considered a sacred
thread worn by upper caste
Hindu’s.
Guru Nanak as a child of 11 years
refused to wear sacred thread
called Janeou. He stated that
instead he would wear the true
name of God in his heart for his
blessings.
He reasoned with Pandit Hardyal
“Pandit Ji if you have a Janeou for
soul than put it, This will not break
orgetsoiled,itwillneitherburnnor
perish”.

questions on his absence. The following day he gave a strong message
tothesociety:
