It’s 350th Parkash Utsav of Sahabe Kamaal Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
A proud moment for the entire world, the champion of the opressed and the downtrodden showed us the way to serving humanity. The work of Sikhs all around the globe is testemony to the example set up by the Tenth Nanak. He showed, by example, how to practice the teachings of Guru Nanak and his successors as incorporated in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
An epitome of Sewa and compassion he gave a new meaning to the the term ‘sacrifice’. He held back nothing and sacrificed his all to serve humanity regardless of race, colour or creed. By intiating the Khalsa Order he set examples of discipline which when followed elevates the disciple to blissful levels of saintlihood, but at the same time retaining the qualities of a true soldier of Akal Purkh – Sant-Sipahi, in short.
Let us rejoice and celebrate the life of the Tenth Master but at the same time resolve to follow the path of Sikhi in its spirit and essence.
Rajinder Singh ‘Arshi’
