Such a beautiful and peaceful celebration. The SGPC's arrangements for continuous kirtan and the evening Deepmala sound wonderful. It's important for all Indians to know about the lives and teachings of great spiritual leaders like Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, who stood for protecting the rights of others.

While the devotion is commendable, I hope the evening fireworks are managed responsibly considering noise pollution and the impact on birds and animals in the area. Celebrations should be joyful without causing harm to the environment.

My family attended the Gurmat Samagam today. The atmosphere at Guru Ke Mahal was electric with devotion. The katha on Guru Ji's life, especially his stand against tyranny, gave us all goosebumps. More power to the organizers for keeping the traditions alive with such dedication.

As someone visiting from abroad, I had the chance to witness part of the celebrations. The sense of community, the langar, and the continuous music (kirtan) were incredibly moving. A powerful example of faith in action. India's spiritual diversity is truly its strength.
