Eid was celebrated by the students of Akal Academy Theh Kalandar in remembrance of Muslim Bhagats and their religious contribution. Such congregations help in upholding the spirit of brotherhood and love for each other and instil the universal values of tolerance, compassion and solidarity in among students.
When a Sikh devotee bows in reverence before Guru Granth Sahib, he bows to the divine hymns of not only the Sikh Gurus but also to these saints, who initially followed their own spiritual path whether Hindu, Muslim or any other faith. In Guru Granth Sahib, Allah, the Divine Name recited by the Muslims have been incorporated 46 times.
The Teachers presented an enlightening speech on the role of Sufi Saints in the Sikh history & their contribution in Guru Granth Sahib Ji mentioning about, Pir Bhudhu Shah ji, Sai Mian Meer ji and also 5 Sufi saints whose bani have been incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib , Bhagat Farid ji, Bhagat Kabir ji, Rababi Balwand Ji, Rababi Satta ji, Bhagat Bhikhan ji.
Such celebration in the form of special assemblies sensitizes students towards living in harmony in a diverse society. The principal motivated the students to always follow their spiritual path and welcome all religious faiths wholeheartedly as all of them lead us towards the path of one God. They are taught to pay respect to the Holy Scripture which itself is inter-faith and thus has a universal message for the entire humanity.
At the end of the congregation Karah parshad was distributed among all the students & staff members.
