He may be cut apart, piece by piece, but he never leaves the field of battle. ||2||2||
Guru Granth Sahib - Ang 1106 'Bhagat Kabir'
|
|
The aim of Khalsa is to be a Soldier-Saint (Sant-Sipahi). This Shabad by Bhagat Kabir stresses - resolve, determination, justification and fighting to the last. Sikh History is evident with numerous examples of the bravery of Sikhs whose lives have revolved around these principles. In this edition of Suneha, we want to highlight the courage and sacrifice of Sikh Women who have equally partaken in this mission. Mai Bhago, Mata Khivi Ji and Mata Sundari Ji are some of the many prominent women in Sikh History who have left their mark on generations to come. Read More...

HAPPY BANDI CHHOR DIWAS AND HAPPY DIWALI
November 14, 2020
|
|
Bandi Chhor Diwas (Day of Liberation) celebrates a Sikh Historic event related to the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Singh ji. According to history, on this day, Guruji was able to secure the release of 52 kings, imprisoned by Mughal Emperor Jahangir at the Gwalior Fort for several months .The day falls in autumn and often overlaps with Hindu Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrated across Punjab. Historically, from the time of the third Sikh Guru Amar Das, Sikhs and Hindus of the time used the occasion of Diwali, Vaisakhi and other such festivals to congregate at the seat of the Gurus. In the late 20th century, Sikh religious leaders and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee formally adopted this day into the Nanakshahi Calendar in 2003, under President Prof. Kirpal Singh Badungar the then president of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
The entire team of Nishkam TV wishes everyone a very Happy Bandi Chhor Diwas and a very Happy Diwali.
