Punjab tableau at R-Day to propagate basic philosophy of Guru Nanak Dev

Thursday, 23 January 2020 | PNS | Chandigarh

Kirat Karo', 'Naam Japo', 'Vand Chhako' is the theme of the official tableau of Punjab for the Republic Day parade in New Delhi on January 26.

''The tableau of the state government at the Republic Day-2020 is dedicated to the ideology of the first Sikh Guru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to mark the year long celebrations of 550th Prakash Purb of the founder of Sikhism'', an official spokesperson said here on Monday.

This showcases the basic philosophy of the first Sikh Guru in terms of the eternal message of 'Kirat Karo' (earn livelihood by honest means), 'Naam Japo' (constant chanting of Name of God), 'Vand Chhako' (share the fruits of labour), to create an egalitarian society, the spokesman said.

The spokesperson said the entire tableau gives a serene aura of all pervasive teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 

The tractor portion starts with a larger than life hand depicting the concept of ‘Oneness of God’. The trailer portion comprises three principles namely ‘Kirat Karo’, ‘Naam Japo’, ‘Vand Chhako’ which form the cornerstone of the Sikhism.

The trailer begins with the message of ‘Kirat Karo’ which pertains to earn an honest, pure and dedicated living by exercising one's God-given skills, abilities, talents and hard labour for the benefit and improvement of the individual, their family and society at large. Next comes in the middle portion of the trailer ‘Naam Japo’.

In Sikhism, it refers to the meditation, vocal singing of hymns from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in praise of the Lord and in gratitude to the various bounties bestowed on mankind or contemplating the various Names of God especially the chanting of the word Waheguru, which means "Wonderful Lord". Behind that is seen ‘Vand Chakko’, which lays emphasis to share what you have and to consume it together as a community.

The end of the trailer depicts a Gurdwara, a place of worship.
