Reflections on Jyoti Jyot Diwas

ਸਮਾਜਿਕ ਚੇਤੰਨਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ ਦੇ ਮੋਢੀ, ਜਗਤ ਗੁਰੂ, ਧੰਨ-ਧੰਨ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਦਿਵਸ ਮੌਕੇ, ਗੁਰੂ ਚਰਨਾਂ 'ਚ ਕੋਟਿ-ਕੋਟਿ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਮ। ਸੱਚੇ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹ ਦੀ ਅਸੀਮ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਸਦਾ ਸਰਬੱਤ ਸੰਗਤ 'ਤੇ ਬਣੀ ਰਹੇ। ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਪਣਾ ਕੇ, ਆਓ ਸਾਰੇ ਮਿਲ ਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀਪੂਰਨ ਸਮਾਜ ਦੀ ਸਿਰਜਣਾ ਕਰੀਏ।

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ,

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਿਹ।

On the sacred and solemn occasion of Jyoti Jyot Diwas, we humbly commemorate the life and teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the eternal beacon of social justice and equality, and the divine guide for all humanity. With deep reverence, we bow before the timeless wisdom of the Guru, whose profound insights continue to illuminate the path for countless generations.

May the boundless grace of Akal Purakh (the True Sovereign) shower blessings upon all of humanity. As we reflect on Guru Nanak Dev Ji's timeless message, let us pledge to live by his principles of love, equality, and selfless service. Together, we can work towards building a world rooted in harmony, justice, and spiritual enlightenment, fulfilling the Guru’s vision of a united and compassionate human family.

I am privileged to share with you a cherished YouTube video from my archives, recorded on the auspicious occasion of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Gurpurab. This video delves into the profound insights of Guru Nanak’s divine verses, with a special focus on those that highlight the dignity and struggles of farmers. In his timeless bani (sacred hymns), Guru Nanak beautifully expresses the essence of a farmer's life—their unwavering dedication, the challenges they endure, and their vital role in sustaining the fabric of society.

This video invites you to reflect on how these teachings remain deeply relevant in today’s world, shedding light on Punjab’s rich agricultural heritage and the spiritual connection between hard work and devotion. As we contemplate Guru Nanak’s words, let us also reaffirm our gratitude for the hardworking farmers who continue to be the backbone of our communities. May this offering serve as both a tribute to Guru Nanak’s wisdom and a reminder of the respect we owe to those who labour upon the land.

In this spirit of devotion and gratitude, we humbly proclaim:

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

(The Khalsa belongs to the Wondrous Guru, Victory belongs to the Wondrous Guru!)
