Ludhiana, February 19, 2024 : In a spirit of unity and reverence, CT University organized a special event encompassing a guest lecture and the recitation of Sukhmani Sahib Path, bringing together the entire CT University community, including management, faculty, and students. The gathering sought to seek blessings from the Almighty and gain insights into the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
Under the aegis of Guru Nanak Chair, a guest lecture was delivered by renowned Punjabi poet, Dr. Davinder Saifi, on the theme of 'Guru Nanak Dev Ji di Bani Sandesh Ate Sade Farz' (The Message and Our Duties According to Guru Nanak Dev Ji). The Chief Guest commenced the lecture by elucidating the three fundamental principles prescribed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji— "Kirat karo" (earn an honest living), "Naam Japo" (meditate on the divine), and "Vand Chakko" (practice selfless service).

Addressing the audience, Dr. Saifi contextualized the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the present day, drawing attention to their relevance and applicability in the contemporary world. He highlighted the challenges of the present time and demonstrated how Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings, encapsulated in the concept of "Sewa" (selfless service), continue to guide and inspire people, transcending religious and cultural boundaries.
