Guru Nanak Jayanthi was celebrated at Shanthi Mandir on Saturday, November 15, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Gyani Santokh Singh Ji from St. Louis led the prayers. The program included Special Kirtan, Prasad and Langar (Community pot-luck lunch). Several community members attended the event and contributed items for the Langar.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith, was born in 1469 in the month of Kartik (October/November), and his birthday is known as Guru Nanak Jayanthi. His life serves as a beacon for all ages. He was a great seer, saint and mystic. He spread the message of peace and equality at a time of violence and segregation. A prolific poet, a prophet of peace, love, truth and renaissance, he was centuries ahead of his times. His universal message is as fresh and true even today as it was in the past.
