Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Pehla Parkashpurb

Date: 4 September 2024

Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Pehla Parkashpurb is a significant event in Sikh history, marking the day when the first compilation of Guru Granth Sahib Ji was installed in Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, in 1604. This sacred scripture, regarded as the eternal Guru by Sikhs, is a compilation of hymns and writings of Sikh Gurus and other saints who contributed to spreading the message of love, unity, and spirituality.

On this auspicious day, Sikhs around the world commemorate the event by reciting kirtan, participating in religious processions, and engaging in seva (selfless service). The recitation of Akhand Path, a continuous non-stop reading of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is also a common practice during this time. The event highlights the importance of the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and its role as the spiritual guide for humanity.

Let us come together to celebrate Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Pehla Parkashpurb and reflect on the timeless wisdom and guidance it offers. May we all walk on the path of righteousness and love, as taught by our eternal Guru.
