When and why is Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti celebrated?

He created the Khalsa and symbolises buoyant hope (चढ़दी कला). A true martyr, he was characterised by an indefatigable spirit to wage a war for Dharam (righteousness). Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti – his Prakash Parva is celebrated every year on January 6th.
