NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said Guru Gobind Singh remains an embodiment of courage, compassion and sacrifice and his life and teachings inspire everyone to stand for truth, justice, righteousness and to protect human dignity.
Modi said that the vision of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, continues to guide generations towards service and selfless duty.
“On the sacred Parkash Utsav of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, we bow in reverence to him. He remains an embodiment of courage, compassion and sacrifice. His life and teachings inspire us to stand for truth, justice, righteousness and to protect human dignity,” he said in a post on ‘X’.
The prime minister also shared a few pictures of his visit to the Takhat Sri Harimandir Patna Sahib earlier this year, where he also had ‘darshan’ of the holy ‘Jore Sahib’ (a pair of shoes) belonging to Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Sahib Kaur.
On January 9, 2022, Modi had announced that December 26 would be observed as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ to commemorate the martyrdom of Sahibzades Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh.
President Droupadi Murmu also extended warm greetings on the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh and hoped his teachings for building a harmonious society based on unity, compassion and respect for all continue to guide humanity.
Murmu said Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru, is a symbol of grace amidst adversities and sacrifice for ideals.
May his teachings for building a harmonious society based on unity, compassion and respect for all continue to guide humanity, she said in a post on X.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, paying tribute to Guru Gobind Singh on his birth anniversary, said the tenth Sikh guru's struggle against injustice and unrighteousness inspires people to remain steadfast on the path of truth and fearlessness.
In an X post in Hindi, Adityanath said, "On the sacred Prakash Purab (birth anniversary) of the great saint and religious warrior, an embodiment of courage and sacrifice, the founder of the Khalsa Panth, Tenth Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj, I offer my humble salutations."
"Your struggle against injustice and unrighteousness and your message of protecting dharma inspires all of humanity to remain firm on the path of truth, integrity and fearlessness," he wrote further.
To mark Veer Bal Diwas, the government is organising programmes across the country aimed at informing and educating citizens about the extraordinary courage and supreme sacrifice of the Sahibzades.
PM Modi has attended an event organised on the occasion of Veer Bal Diwas on Friday where he said the supreme sacrifice of the sahibzades (sons) of Guru Gobind Singh, represents the ultimate expression of India’s indomitable courage, valour and bravery against the cruel Mughal Sultanate, shaking the very existence of religious fanaticism and terror.
