President A P J Abdul Kalam penned the following lines while he was flying to Amritsar to take part in the 400th year of the Prakash Utsav of Sri Guru Granth Sahib:   Guru Prakasham   Many many years ago our Gurus lit the lamp And the Prakasham was born carrying power of the soul This light of truth on the lands of five rivers It orbited and orbited around the Sun Along with the earth that carried it as Sindhur   This earthly Prakasham is so powerful Of human's universal message of one God Four hundred orbits gone in no time The great Prakasham has even outglowed the Sun As it orbits all around the Sun, even Sun bows in enhanced reverence   And salutes the Earth, for all that it carries The greatest Prakasham of Guru Granth Sahib   August 31, 2004
