January in the Sikh Calendar marks the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru. This day, known as Gurpurab, is celebrated with prayers, kirtan, and community meals.
Another important date in January is Maghi. This day commemorates the martyrdom of the Forty Immortals who sacrificed their lives for Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Sikhs gather at gurdwaras to honor their courage and commitment.
During January, Sikhs also observe Lohri, a winter harvest festival celebrated with bonfires, singing, and dancing. It is a time to give thanks for the blessings of the harvest and seek prosperity for the coming year.
As we navigate through the month of January in the Sikh Calendar 2026, let us reflect on the teachings of the Gurus and strive to live with compassion, humility, and equality in our hearts.
May this month bring peace, joy, and spiritual growth to all who follow the path of Sikhism. Let us come together in unity and harmony, embodying the values of love and service that define our faith.
