SikhNet & Sikh Dharma International Honor 300th Anniversary,

[Guest guest]

The most popular Sikh website in the world, www.sikhnet.com, in

conjunction with Sikh Dharma International (www.sikhdharma.org), has

created a special web-section to commemorate the 300th Anniversary of

the Guru Gaddi of Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. A very special message

from Giani Kulwant Singh Ji, Jathedar of Hazur Sahib is one of the

featured videos on this section. As well as education videos about the

Siri Guru Granth Sahib by the late Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib

Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogji; and well-known Sikh Dharma Ministers

Guruka Singh Khalsa and Shanti Kaur Khalsa.

 

In addition to educational videos, the special Anniversary section

offers inspirational stories, ideas for how Sikhs can commemorate the

300th Anniversary in their own communities, and the US President and

First Lady's congratulatory message to the Sikh Community on this

special Tercentenary.

 

300 years ago in the small town of Nanded, India, the 10th Living

Master of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, bestowed the eternal Guruship

for the Sikhs upon Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Siri Guru Granth Sahib

is a compilation of sacred songs written by the Sikh Gurus, as well as

by Hindu and Muslim saints of the time. The compilation began with the

first Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and was completed in 1604. A century

later, in 1708, the tenth and last living Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji,

added the sacred songs of his father, Guru Teg Bahadur, to Guru Granth

Sahib Ji, and upon his passing, bestowed the Guruship upon the Siri

Guru Granth Sahib. It is said that Guru Gobind Singh instructed his

Sikhs to search for him within the songs contained there, and to find

enlightenment by meditating upon them.

 

This October, Sikhs around the world will honor and celebrate the

300th Anniversary of this event as well as the Joti Jot of Guru Gobind

Singh Ji. A special program is being planned at Takhat Hazur Sahib in

Nanded, India, where the transfer of authority to Siri Guru Granth

Sahib Ji took place, in 1608. SikhNet in conjunction with Sikh Dharma

International will be posting inspiring and educational stories and

videos in honor of the 300th Anniversary from now until mid October.

Then a team will be covering the 300th Anniversary event live from

Takhat Hazur Sahib and posting stories and photos to the SikhNet site.
