Guru Arjan Dev Ji: Shabad Tou Shahadat Tak

Chandigarh: Department of Guru Nanak Sikh Studies Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh on Tuesday organised a Special lecture commemorating the great Martyrdom day of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. The lecture was delivered by Professor Jaspal Kaur Kaang Chairperson of the Department to her research Scholars on the topic ‘Guru Arjan: Shabad to Shahadat Tak’.
While expressing her views on the various aspects of martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, she explained that the sacrifice of his life given by Guru Arjan Dev Ji has
established a great example of his extreme tolerance power which he attained from the Shabad Chinton of Gurbani. The power of ‘Shabad Chinton’, transforms the fearful person into a fearless and well-determined personality. Guru Arjan Dev Ji had challenged the inhuman political powers prevailing in his time with his period with his inner, bold and determined will power by not submitting himself before the injustice.
Dr. Kaang emphasized on the various aspects of Guru’s Shahadat. At the end of her lecture, she expressed that today we are facing world crisis due to the extreme intolerance in our behavior while Guru Arjan Dev Ji’s message of Naam Simran, Tolerance, Forgiveness and not to submit before the injustice is very relevant in today’s world to resolve several issues of human life and gives us a deep inspiration to follow the same.
Research Scholars and the Teachers deliberated upon the topic. Question Answer session was held with a great zeal.
