Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav joined the Sikh community in celebrating the festival of Vaisakhi at Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Dimapur, on Tuesday.
Extending warm greetings to the Sikh community in Nagaland and across the country, the Governor highlighted the spiritual, cultural and historical significance of Vaisakhi, which marks the harvest season and symbolizes prosperity, gratitude and new beginnings.
Recalling the historic formation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699, Yadav said its values of courage, equality, service and righteousness continue to inspire humanity.
He emphasized the teachings of the Sikh Gurus, underlining the importance of selfless service, compassion, discipline and universal brotherhood. Traditions of seva and langar, he noted, exemplify inclusiveness and humanity, reinforcing the belief that service to mankind is service to God.
The Governor remarked that Nagaland is known for its rich diversity and harmonious coexistence, and festivals like Vaisakhi strengthen bonds of unity, mutual respect and brotherhood. He appreciated the contributions of the Sikh community to the social and economic life of the State, particularly in Dimapur.
On the occasion, Yadav called upon all to reaffirm their commitment to peace, harmony and progress, drawing inspiration from the message of Vaisakhi. He prayed that the blessings of the Gurus bring peace, prosperity, happiness and good health to all, and wished everyone a joyous Vaisakhi.
