Guru Gobind Singh remains embodiment of courage, compassion and sacrifice, says PM Modi on Parkash Utsav
New Delhi, Dec. 27 – Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in paying tribute to the tenth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, on the anniversary of his Parkash Utsav, a day that celebrates the Guru’s life of courage, sacrifice and steadfast faith in truth and justice.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister recalled his own visit earlier in the year to the Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji at Patna Sahib, where he saw the Holy Jore Sahib of the Guru and the beloved Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. “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. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s vision continues to guide generations towards service and selfless duty. Here are pictures from my visit to the Takhat Sri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib earlier this year, where I also had Darshan of the Holy Jore Sahib of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji,” the PM said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also expressed deep respect for the Guru, recalling his supreme sacrifices for faith, humanity and justice. “Heartfelt greetings on the Parkash Parv of the tenth Guru of Sikhism, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. A symbol of struggle against injustice, resistance to oppression and protection of humanity, Guru Gobind Singh Ji made the supreme sacrifice of his four sons, Mata Gujri Ji, and his own life for religion and culture. Such unparalleled sacrifice in human history earned him the title ‘Sarvansdani’. Through the establishment of the Khalsa Panth, Guru Sabbath strengthened Sikhism as a powerful pillar of service as well as defence, and his Panj Pyare became symbols of protection of human society across the country,” a translated post from Shah read.
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari wished the Guru’s descendants and the Sikh community all well. “Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on the Prakash Purb of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. His life and his thoughts will continue to inspire for centuries. Today, on the occasion of his Prakash Purb, we bow to him a million times.”
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath joined the leaders in commending the Guru’s legacy of valor and self‑lessness. “On the sacred birth anniversary of the great saint and religious warrior, the embodiment of courage and sacrifice, the founder of the Khalsa Panth, the Tenth Master Father Guru Shri Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, we offer him millions of salutations. Your struggle against injustice and unrighteousness, and the message of safeguarding religion, inspires all humanity to remain steadfast on the path of truth, loyalty, and fearlessness.”
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, born in 1666, was a visionary who forged the Khalsa Panth and championed equality, bravery and self‑service. His teachings continue to resonate across generations, encouraging people to stand up against oppression and defend human dignity.
Parkash Utsav celebrations roll out across India with prayers, kirtans and tributes, keeping alive the memory of one of the country’s most revered spiritual and moral figures.
