Returning from Nankana Sahib, Sikhs pay tribute to Guru for the procession


After paying obeisance the procession of over 200 people to Nankana Sahib, Pakistan from Indore returned to the city on Sunday with blessings. In a first-of-its-kind road procession since India's partition, about 1,100 Sikh community members had joined this procession from India to Pakistan.
To celebrate the success of the ‘yatra’ and blessings of Guru Nanak, a four-day Akhand Path Sahib was organised. Akhand Path is continuous nonstop recitation of all the verses in the Guru Granth Sahib from the beginning to the end, in 31 Ragas as specified, in all 1430 pages, lasting more than 48 hours by a team of readers. This ritual is considered very holy and is said to bring peace and solace to the participants and the passive listeners of the recital. During the reading it is tradition for langar (or communal food) to be available at all times, thus requiring the continual service and dedication of those in whose honour the Akhand Path is being held.
The Akhand Path concluded on Sunday, when the entire community gathered at Imli Sahib gurudwara to celebrate the success of trip and express gratitude to Guru.
The procession from Indore was headed by Jathedars of Nankana Sahib Yatra Jagadish Singh Tuteja and Ravindra Singh Khanuja, the procession had begun from Indore on Nov 4, when the gathering left for their pilgrimage.
“The procession has been going to Nankana Sahib every year for the last 15 years from Indore, but this year with the corridor, it was easier,” Manjit Singh Bhatia, president of Shri Guru Singh Sabha, said.
Being grateful for everything is an essential part of lessons imparted by Guru Nanak. “Attitude of gratitude is when you are grateful for every breath of life as taught to us by Guru, so all those blessed ones who could go to Nankana Sahib expressed their gratitude with the Path,” General secretary Jasbir Singh Gandhi said.
