12 Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the legacy of Sikh gurus, who gave everything for faith, nation and humanity, continues to guide India’s path of progress.”History is shaped only by those who embody sacrifice and renunciation. The history of Sikh gurus in India is a history of the extraordinary radiance of devotion and strength,” the CM said while paying tributes to the four ‘Sahibzadas’ of Guru Gobind Singh and Guru Tegh Bahadur on his 350th martyrdom anniversary on Friday.Speaking at a kirtan organised to mark Veer Bal Diwas, the day the four Sahibzadas were martyred, Yogi said the occasion was an opportunity to pay tribute to the sacrifice of Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving national recognition to the event.The CM added that where Guru Nanak spread his message across India, Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh highlighted their devotion through sacrifices and commitments.”This year marks the 350th anniversary of the martyrdom of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. It is a coincidence that while marking the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, I had the privilege of announcing Dec 26 as Veer Bal Diwas. This day is now being observed in schools, colleges and offices across the country, and the stories of the Sahibzadas have been included in the curriculum to inspire the younger generation with the values of sacrifice and selflessness,” he said.The CM spoke about the Sikh tradition of langar as a powerful symbol of social harmony, which transcended caste and religion, highlighting the role of Guru Gobind Singh in uniting society.Yogi also paid respect to Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Gujri Devi, saying that the sacrifice of their sons, now celebrated as Veer Bal Diwas, was a source of inspiration for India’s youth.The CM also assured full support of the BJP govt in the state and the Centre for organising events to mark the 350th martyrdom year of Guru Tegh Bahadur.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosH-1B Visa Delays: MEA Says India Has Flagged Issue With USIndia Flags H-1B Visa Delays With US As Indians Face Backlogs Scrutiny And Policy UncertaintyPM Modi Praises Gen Z Confidence, Sees Them Leading Viksit Bharat”People Who Are…” MEA Responds To Viral Mallya And Modi “Biggest Fugitive” VideoRed Line From New Delhi: India Calls Out Yunus Govt As Minority Attacks In Bangladesh EscalateMyanmar Heads to Polls After Five Years as Rights Groups Slam Military-Run Process’Can You Elect A Non-Muslim?’ Indian Student Dismantles Pakistan On Minority Rights, DemocracySix Shots On AMU Campus Kill Teacher As CCTV Shows Killers Firing Into His Head After He Fell DownPutin Called Pakistan A Junta With Nukes As Bush Feared Nuclear Leaks To Iran, Reveal TranscriptsTwo Indians Killed In Canada Within A Few Days, Families Raise Question On Safety Of Students Abroad123PhotostoriesSlowdown Saturday: With 8–9 million dementia patients in India, these 5 brain workouts matterFrom Beavers to Parrotfish: 5 animals that secretly act like nature’s engineersFrom saving more money to better health: 4 powerful ways AI can help you succeed in life in 2026Salman Khan birthday special: Best family moments5 Indian beaches that are perfect for quiet, unhurried vacationsTop 5 important lessons to teach your kids in 2026; something that school never teaches them5 fashion experiments of 2025 that were imaginative, structural, and deliciously bizarre5 ‘food from the future’ that already part of restaurant menus now5 forbidden places on Earth and what happens if a tourist tries to visit themAnkita Lokhande’s most stylish saree looks: From red bandhani to purple chiffon123Hot PicksUAE WeatherPAN-Aadhaar linkingAmrit MondalGold rate todayIncome Tax RefundIndian Railways fareBank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingFrank Lampard and Christine Lampard Net WorthJordan Spieth Net WorthElliotte FriedmanKhamzat ChimaevTravis KelceAaron RodgersPatrick MahomesTua Tagovailoa WifeLaMelo BallMax Verstappen Girlfriend
