Chandigarh, Oct 24

Month-long events to mark the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of 'Hind Di Chadar', Guru Teg Bahadur, will commence on Saturday from the sacred sites located in the national capital.

The events are being organised with devotion, reverence and adherence to the Sikh religious code.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will pay obeisance on Saturday morning at Gurdwara Sri Sis Ganj Sahib, and will also pay homage at the martyrdom sites of Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala, who attained supreme martyrdom alongside Guru Sahib.

Cabinet ministers will accompany Chief Minister Mann during the visits. They will present 'Rumala Sahib' and participate in the 'ardas' (prayer) for the well-being of all (Sarbat da Bhala).

After bowing his head at Gurdwara Sahib, Chief Minister Mann will visit the nearby martyrdom sites of the great Sikh martyrs, Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala, who sacrificed their lives for the protection of faith. There, the Chief Minister and his Cabinet will offer floral tributes and perform 'ardas' in their memory.

The formal commencement of the month-long events will take place on Saturday with a special 'Kirtan Samagam' at Gurdwara Sri Rakab Ganj Sahib.

The Punjab government will observe the events from tomorrow till November 25.

During this period, four grand Nagar Kirtans will be organised, one from Srinagar and the remaining three from different parts of Punjab.

These events will conclude with religious congregations at the birthplace of the Khalsa, Sri Anandpur Sahib, from November 23 to 25.

The Chief Minister has issued instructions that all events must be conducted with utmost decorum and respect, ensuring that the divine message of Guru Sahib's unparalleled sacrifice reaches across the world.

Earlier, while lauding Teg Bahadur, CM Mann said he was the ninth Sikh Guru, an epitome of socialism and secularism, whose philosophy is a lighthouse for all.

As a Hindu, I deeply respect Guru Teg Bahadur ji's sacrifice. He gave his life to protect the right of Hindus to practice their faith. This is the true spirit of India - different religions respecting and protecting each other. Will definitely visit Gurdwara Sis Ganj this weekend.

Living in Delhi for 3 years now, I'm constantly amazed by India's rich spiritual heritage. Guru Teg Bahadur's story of protecting religious freedom is incredibly inspiring. The Nagar Kirtan processions are beautiful to witness - the devotion and community spirit is remarkable.

While I appreciate the government's efforts, I hope the focus remains on Guru Sahib's teachings rather than political appearances. The message of standing up for others' religious rights is more relevant than ever in today's world. Let's ensure these events truly honor his legacy.

Guru Teg Bahadur ji's sacrifice teaches us that true leadership means protecting the rights of all, not just your own community. His martyrdom day should be a national reminder of our constitutional values of secularism and religious freedom. Proud to see this commemoration!

The story of Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala ji always brings tears to my eyes. Their unwavering faith alongside Guru Sahib is the ultimate example of devotion. Planning to take my children to these events so they learn about our glorious history and values.
