The resolution designates the weekend closest to Guru Nanak Gurpurab, a significant holiday in the Sikh community, as Guru Nanak Gurpurab Weekend in New Jersey. This initiative acknowledges the contributions of the Sikh community, which has been an integral part of New Jersey's diverse population and has played a vital role in promoting social tolerance and equality. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, is celebrated for his teachings that emphasize the oneness of humanity, the importance of honest living, and the need to support those in need, all of which are foundational principles of Sikhism.

The resolution calls for the Governor of New Jersey to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this weekend and encourages public officials and citizens to observe it with appropriate activities and programs. By establishing Guru Nanak Gurpurab Weekend, New Jersey aims to honor the teachings of Guru Nanak and the lasting impact of the Sikh community, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background.
