As the 350th birth anniversary of Sikh Guru Gobind Singh was celebrated in Patanjali Yog Peeth on Sunday, the Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev announced the formation of ‘Shodh Peeth’ (research centre) to be named after the tenth Gruru of Sikhism. Kirtan darbar and sant congregation were organised in Patanjali Yog Peeth attended by hundreds of Sikh devotees coming from across the country to mark the day.
Addressing the congregation, Ramdev said, “The research centre to be established in the University of Patanjali in the name of Guru Gobind Singh will do special study on the contribution of the Sikh Gurus for the cause of national unity and integrity and also for the active promotion of the Vedic culture.”
He also said that the Vedic Education Board now in the making will see the staffers of all its educational institutions recite ‘Ved Vani’ along with ‘Guru Vani’ for the students starting from class one. Acharya Balkrishna said that Patanjali Shodh Peeth would go a long way in spreading the timeless teachings of Guru Gobind Sing across the world.
The head priest of Amritsar-based Golden Temple Gyani Iqbal Singh who was also present on the occasion said that Guru Govind Singh Shodh Peeth as conceived by Ramdev would succeed in reaching the message the Guru embodies to the people across the world to the benefit of all.
