Guiding Principles of Sikhism

Sikhism, founded by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the 15th century, teaches us to live a life of humility, service, and devotion. The core principles of Sikhism — Naam Japna (meditation on God’s name), Kirat Karni (honest living), and Vand Chakna (sharing with others) — provide a moral framework that guides our daily lives and interactions within the community. These teachings foster a sense of equality, selflessness, and unity, which are essential for creating a harmonious society. They emphasize the importance of standing up against injustice and helping those in need, regardless of their background.

Our Faith

The teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus, encapsulated in the Guru Granth Sahib, guide us in living a life of compassion and humility. The Guru Granth Sahib is not only a scripture but also a living Guru that provides spiritual guidance and wisdom. At Guru Sahib Charitable Society, we strive to live by these teachings and share them with our community. Sikhism emphasizes that all human beings are equal and that we should work towards the betterment of humanity through selfless service.

Religion and Spiritual Growth

At Guru Sahib Charitable Society, we are dedicated to fostering spiritual growth and preserving our rich Sikh heritage.
