Why celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti?

Guru Nanak Jayanti is also called Prakash Parv or Guru Parv, because on this day Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, was born. Guru Nanak Dev Ji had spread the light of knowledge and truth in the hearts of people through his teachings. He worked to remove discrimination, superstition and ignorance spread in the society. His thoughts inspired people to follow the path of equality, love and service. This is the reason why this day is called Prakash Parv because he had illuminated the entire humanity with the light of truth and knowledge.
