Singer and music director GJ Singh talks about being a spiritual person in life. Recalling how he celebrated Gurpurab with his family in the capital, the singer, best known for singing songs like Paisa Paisa Paisa, Thicc Billo, Pyaar Vichon Khateya, among others, says, "I remember when we used to be in Delhi, to mark the celebration, my family and I used to visit the gurdwara, participate in prabhat pheris and nagar kirtans, and engage in the continuous reciting of the Guru Granth Sahib through the Akhand path." He adds, "We took part in kirtan and katha sessions to listen to and chant shabads and reflect on the teachings of the Guru. Also, we did langar seva (community kitchen), which serves free meals to promote equality. I remember how special it used to be, the Gurbani recitation, prayers, and ardas are offered to express gratitude and seek wellbeing. Additionally, Kar Sewa, voluntary community service, is carried out, embodying the core values of
Sikhism. While I miss everything that celebration here in Mumbai, I make sure to visit Gurudwara and offer my prayers and do services."
Highlighting the importance of the occasion in his life, he says, "I'm a religious person. It is one of the most significant day for us, not only commemorating the life and teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji but also promoting the values of unity, equality, and selfless service, which form the foundation of Sikh philosophy. Guru Nanak Dev Ji displayed a profound spiritual inclination from a young age. He often questioned societal norms, including discrimination, inequality, and certain unethical rituals and practices. At an early age, he experienced a spiritual awakening that led him to spread a powerful message: humanity is one. His teachings emphasized the equality of all and the importance of placing humanity above all divisions."
