The Joti Jot of Bhagat Namdev Ji 2026 – Ghuman

The Joti Jot (Anniversary) of Bhagat Namdev Ji is on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
Village: Guman, District: Gurdaspur, Punjab, India.

This date is based on the traditional Bikrami calendar used by some Sikh groups (specifically the Namdhari calendar mentioned in search results), and it often falls in mid-January. The date can vary slightly depending on the specific calendar followed (e.g., the original Nanakshahi calendar has fixed dates, but different versions exist). 

“Joti Jot” (or Jyoti Jot) in Sikhism means merging with the Divine Light, a term used for the passing of enlightened souls like Bhagat Namdev Ji, who, despite his physical departure from Ghoman, Punjab around 1350 AD, remains eternally present through his 61 hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib, teaching humility, universal love, and unwavering devotion to one God (Waheguru). 

Bhagat Namdev Ji’s Legacy:
  • Devotion: A great saint (Bhagat) from the Bhakti movement, known for his deep love for God (Waheguru).
  • Inclusion in Guru Granth Sahib: His timeless hymns promote humility, compassion, and faith, inspiring Sikhs and others.
  • Spiritual Journey: He evolved from worshipping the form of God (Vithal) to realizing the attribute-less (nirguna) Absolute, seeing God everywhere.
  • Physical Departure: He breathed his last in Ghoman, Punjab, where a memorial stands today.
