GURPURAB CELEBRATION
Gurpurab is a celebration based on the lives of the Sikh gurus. It is also known as GURU’S REMEMBRANCE DAY. The Gurus practised what they taught. They preached their followers the sweetness of humility, modesty, compassion, the necessity of bravery, freedom and justice.According to the Sikh belief, people do meditation and perform noble deeds and then pray to God for His benevolence and charity. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikh religion, led the humanitarian approach forward by asking the devotees to tread on the path of three attributes namely- ’KIRT KARO’, NAAM JAPO’ & ’VAND CHAKO’. Both meditation and noble deeds are a pre-requisite of an ideal life. Trinity College celebrates ’GURU NANAK DEV JI’S birthday in the month of November every year with great devotion.
The celebration aims to create awareness among students that the good actions of a person have good results and bad actions of a person have bad effects. In order to create a sense of belongingness and to create a secular atmosphere in the campus, Langar is usually distributed every year as a selfless service to humanity. Langar is a lunch offered to every devotee and everyone eats the same food irrespective of his caste or creed. The funds for Langar are collectively generated through the contribution of the faculty as well as the students. Keeping the adage ’SARBAT DA BHALA’ in mind, obeisance to Almighty is offered before serving langar.

CHRISTMAS
Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ (December 25) is celebrated in the college every year with great enthusiasm. It is celebra
ted to spread the message of the first Christmas- “Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to people of good will”. Making of cribs, carol singing competitions, decoration
, classwise celebration etc. mark the occasion. Making of crib is a united effort of the students irrespective of caste and creed, through which they understand the story of Christmas that the Son of God was born of virgin Mary in a manger, the poor shepherds paying homage to the baby Jesus and the three wise kings venerating the Eternal King and the choirs of angels singing praises to God. This helps to inculcate a true spirit of adoration and submission to God in our hearts. Classwise celebration is a memorable experience in which the class teacher and the students gather in the decorated classrooms and cut the cake and exchange gifts. On first of December, a special friend is being chosen (through picking up a chit in which the names are written) from among the classmates and colleagues. We pray specially for this friend and on the celebration day, we exchange gifts to e
xpress love. This is an occasion to praise one another.Special Holy Mass and prayer meetings are also organized for the Christian students in the college prayer room in the month of December. Thus, Christmas celebration in the college spreads the goodness of love, peace and joy. This is an apt occasion to practice secularism.
