Why not other celebration for other 8 gurus?

[S1ngh]

Why only celebrate the b'days of Guru Nanak Dev jee and Guru Gobind singh jeee.. What about other 8 gurus?? Why i never heard anything about their b'days ?? Every guru jee participation toward panth was equal and shouldn't we remember them equally?? I know there is one jot.. but still i think we should thanks them, remember them, cherish them equally !!

Just some thought going thru my head..

Waheguroo...

I've always wondered why this is...I think the unfortunate truth is we don't know our own history and over the transformation of the Diaspora, the European/American and scholarly influence it has distorted so much richness. For example, if you go to most 9/10 year old Sikh children they will know many facts about Guru Nanak Dev Jeeio and Gurdev Pita, but perhaps not even know the names of our other Guru Jees. We are not educated and don't educate our younger generation..it truly is in our hands!

In my opinion I think each person can make progress..the Nanakshai Panthic Calendar is available to all of us, on those days read a special shabad (for that Purab), learn more about that day/Guru Jee..share it with sangat, with children, and cherish that day.

Vickey Singh, I usually send emails out on these days with a shabad or poem, or some sakhi or historical piece of information to some of my dear ones..I think as sangat ALL OF US should post for that day Plus with all your contacts, you could always take snippets from the forum and email it to others..

To progress...

There is no history like Sikh history. In some religions they mourn the martyrdom of their religious figures. Thank WAHEGURU that Sikhs dont have to mourn! otherwise we have so many shaheeds, every single day we would have to mourn. But our SatGuru is so great! He told us that martyrdom is a priviledge of the chosen few, and so we CELEBRATE and not mourn the days when Sikhs gave shaheedi! SIKHI is all about CELEBRATION! no place for mourning! we CELEBRATE shaheedi diwas! we CELEBRATE prakash utsav! we do kirtan on the days of any of the Guru Sahibaans' jotti jot diwas! we dont beat ourselves and wail and weep and cry like others! and yes, we should CELEBRATE and/or do kirtan on the occassions of the prakash utsav, gurgaddi diwas, jotti jot diwas and/or shaheedi diwas of all Gurus!

This is true in case of gurudwara sahibs but local sangat do celebrate any gurupurab... not only b'days but like bandi choor divas of guru hargobind sahib ji, parkaash of dhan shri guru granth sahib ji or any other gurupurab we come to know... yeah we do miss sometimes coz we aren't aware of any particular gurupurab...

well im my place here all the gurpurabs are celebrated either by having akhand paath or just norm program in gurd... but yeah more emphasis are given to the first and tenth guru... ive wondered abt dis at times too... :T: :T:

[akjforever]

Some people have the belief that Guru Nank Dev Ji's b-day should be celebrated only, because all of the Gurus are considered Nanaks. I don't agree with this. I think that all of the Gurus contributed to making what Sikhi is today. We should celebrate all of them.
