What are Gurpurabs

NANKANA SAHIB ( Birth Place of Guru Nanak Dev Ji )

GURPURABS refer to the events celebrated by the Sikhs like Guru's Birthdays, Martyrdom, and other important events. A Sikh celebrates Gurpurabs and does not celebrates other things like new year, his/her own birthday, etc.
Why a Sikh does not celebrates these may lead to a long discussion. For now, just understand that a Sikh remembers Death not Birth. Gurpurabs are celebrated throughout the year. The most commonly celebrated Gurpurabs are Birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji ( 1st Sikh Guru ) and Birth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (10th form of Guru Nanak Dev Ji). Hope the article defined a 'GURPURAB' properly. Thanks for reading.
