To celebrate Prakash Utsav a special morning assembly activity was conducted by Class IV students of St. Soldier’s Mohali under the guidance of Ms. Neetu Suri. They apprised the audience about the Guru Granth Sahib . The Guru Granth Sahib is also called Adi Granth and it is the holy book of the Sikhs. It contains 1430 pages and 5864 hymns or shabads. The name of the book is made up of three words. Guru in Sanskrit language means a teacher. Granth in Sanskrit language means a book and Sahib in Urdu language means master. So Guru Granth Sahib means a Master Book by the Teacher.
This year, we are celebrating the 415th anniversary of Prakash Utsav of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It is celebrated every year on September 1 to mark the publication of the teachings of the Sikh Gurus and various saints which is called Gurbani. In 1708, Guru Gobind Singh ji gave a clarion call “Sab Sikhan Ko Hukam Hai Guru Manyo Granth”. The concept of God in Sikhism –Ik Onkar, Akal Purakh and Nirankar. A few teachings-Kade kise da bura na socho, na kise da bura karo and conquer the mind conquer the world.
Even Clarion call was recited by the students Aagya bhayi Akal ki, tabhe chalayo panth………The students learn that Guru Granth Sahib, a remarkable storehouse of knowledge and teachings gives the message of love and service to the society. We should follow the teachings.
