In the seminar on the 551st Birth Anniversary of Nanak Ji, the keynote speakers addressed the fact that his teachings still prevail and have a universal appeal. They also appreciated the initiative of LPU to have studies related to Global Peace & Equality and stated that the university was on the path of Nanak Ji, who traveled to far off places and spread the message of ‘one God’ and that God resides in his creations.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji.” Talking about his book, Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said, people in today’s world should follow the teachings and idealize the journey of Nanak Ji in their life. And quoting one of the famous teachings informed by Nanak Ji, he said, all human beings can have direct access to God it is just that we have to treat every human with mutual love, respect, and equality.
The seminar ended on a happy note!
