One the Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings is always work hard, be honest, share with others keeping and reciting the name of God in your thoughts at all time which our song talks about right from the start, which sets the tone up for the whole song itself”. 

Jinder also adds “The video that is accompanied with this song, is all about showcasing pictures and quotes about Guru Nanak Dev Ji, it is focused about it being a celebration of his birthday, rather then being about the singers and being a commercial music video, hence why we as Jin & Seetal went with a minimalist approach to the video, from start to finish”.

 

Brief History Of Guru Nanak Dev Ji 

Guru Nanak Dev Ji (15 April 1469 – 22 September 1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. His birth is celebrated worldwide as Guru Nanak Gurpurab on Kartik Pooranmashi, the full-moon day in the month of Katak, October–November.

Guru Nanak travelled far and wide teaching people the message of one God who dwells in every one of his creations and constitutes the eternal Truth.  He set up a unique spiritual, social, and political platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness, and virtue. 

Nanak’s words are registered in the form of 974 poetic hymns in the holy text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, with some of the major prayers being the Japji Sahib, the Asa di Var and the Sidh-Gosht.

Through popular tradition, Guru Nanak’s teaching is understood to be practised in three ways:

  1. Vaṇḍ Chakkō: Sharing with others, helping those with less who are in need
  2. Kirat Karō: Earning/making a living honestly, without exploitation or fraud
  3. Naam Japna: Meditating on God’s name to control the five weaknesses of the human personality.

Guru Nanak emphasised Nam Japna (or Naam Simran), that is repetition of God’s name and attributes, as a means to feel God’s presence.
