Guru Govind Singh Jayanti

Today Sikhs celebrate the birthday of their tenth and last guru, Govind Singh. Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded by Guru Nanak Dev and continued to progress with ten successive Sikh gurus. It is the fifth-largest organized religion in the world, with over 25 million followers. One of their religious beliefs includes not cutting their hair - perhaps you have seen Sikh men and women with turbans on their heads.

Gurudwaras (Sikh temples) in Bangalore will hold large processions and gatherings to mark this special occasion. It is estimated that there are about 35,000 Sikhs in Bangalore. Please pray for the Sikhs in Bangalore today. Ask God to help them understand that Jesus is the only one who can teach them how to know and worship Him. Pray that this year would be a year of spiritual awakening for Sikhs in Bangalore and the world.
