Festivals of India - Guruparv
Greetings on Gurunanak Jayanti
Today is Gurpurav , also known as Guru Nanak Birthday, is the birthday of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak, and one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism.
Golden Temple of Amritsar is the most important shrine of the Sikhs
Celebrations take place on a large scale in Punjab, Haryana and other parts of the world where Sikhs reside. Processions are taken out and verses from the Guru Granth Sahib are recited. The festivities in Sikhism revolve around the anniversaries of the 10 Sikh Gurus. These Gurus were responsible for shaping the beliefs of the Sikhs. Their birthdays, known as Gurpurabs, are occasions for celebration and prayer among the Sikhs.
One of the main shrines of the Sikhs is the Golden Temple of Amritsar, in Punjab. The Temple foundations were Laid by the Fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das (1534-1581). The birthday of Guru Nanak Sahib falls on Kartik Poornima, i.e., the day of the full moon in the month of Kartik. In the Gregorian Calendar, the birthday of Guru Nanak usually falls in the month of November, but its date varies from year to year, based on the traditional dates of the Indian calendar.

India Post issued a commemorative postage stamp today on birth anniversary of famous Telgu writer Shri Tripuraneni Gopichand.
Tripuraneni Gopichand (8 September 1910 - 2 November 1962) was a Telugu short story writer, novelist, editor, essayist, playwright and film director. Gopichand's writings are remarkable for interplay of values, ideas and 'isms' - materialism, rationalism, existentialism, realism and humanism. He is especially celebrated for his second novel 'Asamardhuni Jeevayatra' (The Incompetent's Life Journey). This is the first psychological novel in Telugu literature. Gopichand's work Panditha Parameshwara Sastry Veelunama in 1963 was presented with the Sahitya Akademi Award - This was the first Telugu novel to win the award.
