Parkash Utsav Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji
Due to Covid alert level 4 in Auckland and level Delta2 elsewhere in New Zealand, most of the programs / kirtan / paath are either organised online or with limited capacity. Please get details of your nearest Gurudwara for details.
The Granth Sahib began with the first Guru, Nanak Dev ji, as a collection of his holy hymns. The scripture was known as Adi Granth and was added to by subsequent Gurus.
The installation of Adi Granth by Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth Guru, took place in Sri Harmandir Sahib (popularly known as Golden Temple) on October 16th 1604.
In 1708, Adi Granth became Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Eternal Guru of Sikhs as was declared by Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Various programs are organized at gurudwaras and communities across New Zealand to celebrate this festival. Due to alert level 4 in Auckland and alert level 3 else where in NZ, most of the programs are online.
