Guru Nanak Jayanti - extensively celebrated as Gurpurab across India and the world - is one of the several auspicious religious festivals in Sikhism observed to commemorate and remember the birth and philosophy of Guru Nanak, first Sikh Guru and founder of Sikhism. Sikhs and ardent followers of Guru Nanak remember him by celebrating Guru Nanak Jayanti with great enthusiasm that usually falls on Kartik Poornima. Admirers will observe Guru Nanak Jayanti 2011 on the month of November, which is also declared as a gazetted holiday in India.
Leading the life of a wanderer for almost 12 years,
Guru Nanak Devji left for the Himalayas. As per the record, it was there that he had the first direct experience of God.
Thereafter, he settled in Kartarpur as 'a Guru with a family' and started giving religious discourses. He spent the last 15 years of his life in Kartarpur only and started the practice of 'Langar' (community kitchen) for the needy and deprived. Sri Guru Nanak Dev left the world and took his place in heaven in the year 1539.
The Origin of SikhismGuru Nanak Dev formalized the three important pillars of Sikhism in Sultanpur. They are…
Kirt Karnaa (
Honest Earning)
Naam Japna (
Chanting God's name in a meditative manner)
Vand ke Shakkana (
Sharing with others)
Beliefs of Sri Guru Nanak DevjiGod is one and the true way to attain Him is to worship Him.
Human Beings are equal.
Women are equal to men in all respects.

It is said that one who reads Choupai Sahib is undefeatable. Choupai Sahib is the Bani for defeated ones enemies. This could be physical enemies like in the Guru's time, or it can be one's own vices.
This hymn supposedly offers one protection and security and many Sikhs recite this Bani to gain spiritual safety and defence from external and internal enemies, worries and afflictions.
happy guruparab!!!
