"Immerse in Divine Harmony: Kirtan and Prayers of Guru Nanak Jayanti"

Kirtan is a significant part of Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrations. It involves the singing of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhism. The Kirtan is performed by a group of singers, known as Raagis, who sing these hymns in a melodious, rhythmic manner. The Kirtan is usually accompanied by musical instruments like the harmonium and tabla. The purpose of Kirtan is to praise and remember Guru Nanak and his teachings. It is believed that Kirtan helps in connecting with the divine and promotes a sense of peace and tranquility.

Prayers, also known as Ardas, play a crucial role in Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrations. The prayers are offered to seek blessings from Guru Nanak and to express gratitude for his teachings. The prayers are usually led by the Granthi (the person who reads from the Guru Granth Sahib) and are followed by the congregation. The prayers include recitation of passages from the Guru Granth Sahib, chanting of Waheguru (the name of God in Sikhism), and a formal request for the well-being of all. The prayers are a way of expressing devotion and reverence to Guru Nanak.
