As we all know, there have been ten Sikh Gurus. The same divine light resided in all of them; only their physical forms were different. All the Sikh Gurus inspired humanity to practice the principles of meditating on God's name, working honestly, and sharing with others. Sikhs never forget the birth anniversaries of their Gurus. On these occasions, as well as on the Guru Gaddi days and the Jyoti Jot (passing away) days, they gather in Gurdwaras to pray, perform selfless service, and chant God's name.
