Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Prakash Diwas Celebration

Guru Nanak dev Ji's prakash diwas was celebrated with great religious fervour at Sangatsar Gurudwara, Nicosia on 25th November 2007. The weather was not very good on the 25th. There were light showers, but that couldn't refrain the sangat from coming to the Gurudwara to seek the Guru's blessing. With every such celebration there has been an increase in the size of the sangat.

The day marked the end of the "Sahej Paath", followed by Ardaas. Two Thaddi sessions were organized - One by a group of three Sikh men and the other by a group of three Sikh ladies. A reflection was made at the history when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born. There is a famous line that when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born - "Mitti Dhund .. Jag Channan Hoya". Both these Thaddi sessions were amazing. They narrated few sakhies of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in their own unique style. Also in line was a Kavita - in praise of Guru Nanak dev Ji by a Sikh lady.
The entire program was really very good. The end of the day was marked by "Guru Ka langar".
