Today the Sikhs celebrate the first Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Granth Sahib...
In 1504 AD, when for the first time..
The Aadi Granth was taken from Gurdwara Ramsar to Sri Harimandar Sahib
in the form of religious procession...
Keeping the same tradition Eco-Amritsar initiates to celebrate this day in the same way as a clean procession..
Or a Green Nagar Kirtan. The SGPC has been very cooperative in this event, making sure that procession to be a clean one
We have involved the city youth, so that as we clean the area before the Guru's palanquin
we must ensure to clean the route after the procession as well..
Campaigns to stop the use of styrofoam and plastic were also initiated and revive the use of leaf cutlery which are biodegradable
the public has well accepted the idea and we expect a good change in future...
The youth from Khalsa College of Engineering and Technology helped out the mission and..
they collected over 60 big bags of trash from the route...
so that this religious processions would become inspirational...
a tribute to the city of Guru Ramdas...by Eco-Amritsar !
