The ninth Guru gave his head for the protection of religion, humanity and the weak. Therefore, the Punjab government took the historic decision to celebrate November 2025 as \u201cShaheedi Smaran Maah\u201d (Martyrdom Remembrance Month). This is the first time that such large programs are being held continuously for a whole month at the government level across the entire state.<\/p>\n<p>The programs started from 1st November. Daily morning and evening kirtan, ardas and katha are happening in gurdwaras of every district. So far, more than 12 lakh devotees have participated in these gatherings. In big cities &#8211; Amritsar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Jalandhar, Shri Anandpur Sahib and Shri Fatehgarh Sahib &#8211; daily \u201cShaheedi Kirtan Darbars\u201d are being held, where sangat is coming from Punjab and outside as well. Nagar-Kirtans are being taken out on main markets and routes of cities. The administration has deployed additional police, homeguard and medical teams for security and traffic throughout the month.<\/p>\n<p>The Mann government decided that Guru Sahib\u2019s teachings should not remain limited to tributes only, but should reach seva and society. For this reason, more than 500 seva camps have been set up across Punjab. In many of these places, langar runs daily. The Health Department has set up 220 medical camps, in which about 1.4 lakh people had free checkups and were given medicines.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Department has also started a \u201cMoral Education Drive\u201d across the state. More than 10 lakh students in over 20 thousand schools and colleges participated in essays, poetry, posters, speeches and cultural programs. Children were told that the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is not just history, but the greatest example of protecting humanity. The government\u2019s \u201cDigital Documentary Series\u201d has been viewed lakhs of times online. For the first time, the state government has connected religious and cultural history with technology and reached every household.<\/p>\n<p>Today on 10th November, special kirtan and ardas are happening across the state. Thousands of sangat are reaching Amritsar and Shri Anandpur Sahib. Management committees have prepared for cleaning, lighting, water, parking and security throughout the night. District-by-district control rooms have been set up so that devotees don\u2019t face any kind of problem. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is the biggest example of religious freedom. The government\u2019s aim is that every child of Punjab understands that religion doesn\u2019t mean hatred, but brotherhood, courage and humanity. In the remaining days of November, seminars and discussions on \u201chumanity and religious freedom\u201d will also be held in schools and universities.<\/p>\n<p>These programs have proved that Punjab doesn\u2019t just celebrate history, but also implements the teachings in society. An atmosphere of unity, seva and brotherhood is being created in the state. From villages to cities, from youth to elders, everyone is giving this message that Guru Sahib\u2019s sacrifice will live forever.<br \/>\nEven after 350 years, their courage, sacrifice and humanity live in Punjab\u2019s heart.<br \/>\nThe people of Punjab are saying,<br \/>\n\u201cWhere humanity is in danger, standing there is the real religion.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab E News: On the 350th martyrdom year of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the entire month of November this year in Punjab is dedicated to devotion and seva.
