On the auspicious occasion of Gurpurab (Birthday) of the first Guru of Sikhs, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, I congratulate humanity and invite all to inculcate the life principles of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in our lives.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji said, "He who treats all men/women as equals is religious."

Some of the guiding principles of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's life are:

1. Vaand Chhako: Sharing whatever God has given you with others and helping those who are in need is what Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji preached all his life. This is one of the principles of Sikhism. He said, with the grace of the Lord, whatever you have received, share it with the needy and then consume.

2. Kirat Karo: Means, make a living honestly. One should not exploit others to enjoy self-happiness. Earning without fraud and working diligently is what he preached.

3. Naam Japo: Chant the name of `True God`. Sri Guru Nanak Dev emphasized meditating on God`s name to gain control over five evils- k**a (lust), krodh (anger), lobh (greed), moh (endarement/attachment), and ahankar (ego).

Let us all be guided by the noble principles to make this earth a beautiful place to live on. I pray peace, harmony, and brotherhood in the world for all of us.
