A clip showing people of the Sikh community singing Shabad Kirtan on the Great Wall of China has gone viral. An Indian, Harnidh Kaur who happened to be in China during the time of 550th birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev posted a video of a group of people playing the melodious prayer with Harmonium and Tabla sitting on the Great Wall on November 7. The Twitter user further said that Langar, a communal free kitchen of the Sikh community took place at the embassy afterwards. Soon after the video was posted on the internet, people around the world expressed their joy.
I was in Beijing for this Gurpurab, and had the incredible luck of experiencing this! Shabad kirtan on the Great Wall of China! That's ONE way of getting over the homesickness haha.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib provides unique and unequalled guidance and advice for the whole of the human race. It is the torch that will lead humanity out of Kaljug, (the dark era) to a life in peace, tranquillity and spiritual enlightenment for all the nations of the World.
