Guru Nanak said, ‘Wich Duniya Sev Kamaiya Tan Dargah Besan Paiae’ (Serve humanity, and God would recognize your service).

Guru Nanak Emphasized Three Key Principles

  1. Monotheism: One God.
  2. Practical spirituality: Live life according to scriptures.
  3. Selfless service: Serve humanity in every way.

Community kitchens exemplify equality and service. Sikh Gurus established hospitals, wells, and ponds, demonstrating humanity’s protection.

Mahraja Ranjit Singh Portal

Maharaja Ranjit Singh is an icon of Punjab and Punjabis. He is also called Sher-e-Punjab (Lion of Punjab) in view of the respect that is due to him for his bravery and visionary leadership which led to the creation of the Sikh Empire (Sarkaar-e-Khalsa). The Punjab Pulse has dedicated a portal to the study of the Maharaja with the view to understand his life and identify his strengths for emulation in our culture and traditions.
