It is a good day for the nation to celebrate the birth day of the forth Guru of the sikhs Shri Guru Ramdass.
Shri Guru Ramdass was a living example of service and sacrifice. Right from the beginning he served his Master Shri Guru Amardassji with all his heart and soul, without any desire of appreciation from anyone.
Its right to call his birthday a Prakash Utsav i.e. Light celebration as he was light house for humanity to show them the path of service and selflessness.
