2019 would mark the 550th Prakash Purab (Illumination Day) of Guru Nanak Sahib. To commemorate this monumental event SikhRI is launching a children’s audio story series in English and Panjabi based on the life and travels of Guru Nanak Sahib.
These well-loved stories will help to initiate Sikh children into the Guru’s life and his teachings in a non-judgmental way.
