Paying reverence before Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Gurudwara Sahib Dharap during a function to observe Prakash Purab of Sri Guru Govind Singh ji, Former Legislator said that Sikh c ommunity stands tall against all those, who tried to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere not only in India but also abroad.
“Sikh community has always extended their support whenever needed”, he said, adding that this community has performed their legitimate duties in all the odd situations across the globe. Sikh community is known for their sacrifices, courage and valour and this is the region that this community is being praised by all, Randhawa added.
Former Legislator said that the birth and early years of Guru Govind Singh ji’s life were marked with many events that demonstrated that Guru Sahab had been blessed with divine grace.
It may be mentioned that Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708 C.E.) is the tenth and last Sikh Guru after his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. The guru had relinquished his life while fighting against the injustice of the Mughal rulers of that time.

His original name was Gobind Rai. Guru Gobind Singh was a spiritual leader, philosopher, a great warrior, a port, and was the tenth and the last Sikh Guru.
His father Guru Teg Bahadur was the ninth Sikh Guru and was a very courageous man. In 1675, he was beheaded publically by the orders of the fifth Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb as he refused to convert to Islam.
The birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh falls within the months of December or January each year. The annual celebrations of the Guru’s birth anniversary take place as per the Nanakshahi calendar.
Randhawa said that the life of Dasam Patshah Ji is a beacon for humanity, from which the priorities of life should be determined.
He appealed to the people to raise their voice against social evils on the occasion of Guru Sahib’s enlightenment and to pay homage and respect to Guru Sahib by following his life and teachings and he also appealed to Sikhs they should become Amritdhari by taking amrit.
Urging the people to imbibe the spirit of service and humility as preached by the Great Guru, the Former Legislator said that Sri Guru Govind Singh ji envisioned a casteless society free from rituals, thereby redeeming the suffering humanity from the pangs of agony.
Extending warm greetings on the occasion, Former Legislator stressed upon to follow teachings of Guru Sahab.
