The 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak is being celebrated on November 12 this year. The day, which is also called Guru Nanak Gurpurab or Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurpurab is considered to be one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism and is an occasion for celebration and prayer among the Sikhs.
Celebrations have already started around the world with a recent video of a group of Sikhs sitting on the floor of the Great Wall and singing hymns with a harmonium and a tabla going viral.
Shared online by Twitter user Harnidh Kaur from the handle @PedestrianPoet, the video was accompanied by a caption where he wrote, "I was in Beijing for this Gurpurab, and had the incredible luck of experiencing this! Shabad kirtan on the Great Wall of China! That's ONE way of getting over the homesickness haha."

Quotes by Guru Nanak
• Burn worldly love/ Rub the ashes and make ink of it/ Make the heart the pen/ The intellect the writer/ Write that which has no end or limit.
• Dwell in peace in the home of your own being, and the Messenger of Death will not be able to touch you.
• Whatever kind of seed is sown in a field, prepared in due season, a plant of that same kind, marked with the peculiar qualities of the seed, springs up in it.
• He who regards all men as equals is religious.
• There is but one God. True is His Name, creative His personality and immortal His form. He is without fear sans enmity, unborn and self-illumined. By the Guru's grace He is obtained.
