His reflections underscored the event's spiritual significance and dedication to preserving cultural heritage.

Aam Aadmi Party Chief Arvind Kejriwal has praised the Punjab government for grandly conducting the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji.

He has highlighted the dedication shown over several months in organising the event. Kejriwal described the drone show at Sri Anandpur Sahib as "extremely divine and wonderful," providing him with an unforgettable spiritual experience.

Upon the Punjab government's invitation, Kejriwal visited Sri Anandpur Sahib and paid his respects at historical gurdwaras, including Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib and Bhora Sahib. He considered himself fortunate for this opportunity. The special one-day assembly session called by the Punjab government for this celebration was also mentioned by him.

Significance of Spiritual Experience

He expressed his deep admiration for the drone show's portrayal of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib's life, sacrifice, and martyrdom. Watching these representations in the sky filled him with profound emotions. This visual spectacle, according to Kejriwal, was a testament to the great dedication and respect for Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji's legacy.

During the assembly session, Kejriwal proposed that the holy cities of Sri Amritsar Sahib, Sabo Ki Talwandi, and Sri Anandpur Sahib be officially recognised. He confirmed that the Punjab government enacted a historic law to honour this request during the assembly session held at Sri Anandpur Sahib.

Drone Show Leaves Lasting Impression

Kejriwal's reflections on the drone show were filled with awe. The depiction of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib's life and sacrifices moved him deeply. He reiterated his appreciation for the meticulous planning and execution of the event, which he found both spiritually enlightening and memorable.

The event, attended by devotees from across the nation and abroad, showcased the Punjab government's commitment to honouring this significant anniversary with reverence and grandeur. The assembly's decision to grant holy status to the mentioned cities marked a significant moment in recognising their spiritual importance.

Through these initiatives, the Punjab government aimed to preserve and promote the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. Kejriwal's participation and commendation further highlighted the event's success and the collective efforts to uphold Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji's enduring legacy.

Mann said this initiative was aimed at acquainting the younger generations with the teachings of the ninth Sikh Guru. He said the show was a humble tribute to the Guru by the state government. Through the show, the ideals of secularism, humanism and the spirit of self-sacrifice as preached and practised by 'Hind Di Chaadar' -- the ninth Guru -- is being brought alive, he added.

The show gave an immersive experience to the viewers about how the Guru laid down his life to protect the right of freedom to worship and preserve human and secular values, said Mann.
Mann and Kejriwal also paid obeisance at Gurdwara Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, Gurdwara Sheeshganj Sahib and Gurdwara Bhora Sahib here.

The Punjab government is organising a series of events from November 23-25 as part of the 350th martyrdom anniversary of the ninth Sikh Guru.
