New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said Sri Guru Gobind Singh remains an embodiment of courage, compassion and sacrifice, and that his life and teachings continue to inspire people to stand for truth, justice and righteousness, while safeguarding human dignity.
In a post on X on the occasion of the sacred Parkash Utsav of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Prime Minister said the Guru’s vision 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,” Mr. Modi said.
The Prime Minister also shared photographs from his visit earlier this year to Takhat Sri Harimandir Patna Sahib, where he had darshan of the holy Jore Sahib, a pair of shoes belonging to Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur.
Mr. Modi recalled that on January 9, 2022, he had announced December 26 as Veer Bal Diwas to commemorate the martyrdom of Sahibzades Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
To mark Veer Bal Diwas, the government has been organising programmes across the country to inform and educate citizens about the extraordinary courage and supreme sacrifice of the Sahibzades.
The Prime Minister attended a Veer Bal Diwas event on Friday, where he said the martyrdom of the Sahibzades symbolised India’s indomitable courage and valour, and struck at the roots of religious fanaticism and terror during the Mughal era.
