On the auspicious occasion of 'Guru Nanak Birth Anniversary', I extend my heartiest greetings and warm wishes to all residents of A & N Islands.

This day is also celebrated as 'Guru Parv' and 'Prakash Utsav'. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru of Sikhism was a great philosopher and social reformer. His messages inspire all mankind to unite for equality, compassion and brotherhood. Let us follow his teaching and dedicate ourselves to selfless service to humanity and social justice without any kind of discrimination.

On this joyous occasion, I wish the festival would bring prosperity in the lives of every Islander and our Islands continue to march ahead on the path of development.

On the auspicious occasion of "Guru Nanak Dev-ji’s Birth Anniversary", I extend my heartiest greetings and warm wishes to all inhabitants of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

This festival, celebrated as 'Guru Parv' and 'Prakash Parv', inspires us to imbibe the ideologies of Guru Nanak Dev-ji and work towards religious harmony and prosperity and equality of all.

Guru Nanak Dev-ji described living an "active, creative, and practical life" of "truthfulness, fidelity, self-control and purity" as being higher than the metaphysical truth. On this auspicious occasion, let all of us come together and pray for peace, progress and prosperity in the lives of the people of the Islands.
