On September 27, 2015, please join us for an interfaith event and be a part of wonderful mosaic of cultures. Show the strong support for your community and reunite with many different communities in order to promote the universal message:

      ਅਵਲਿ ਅਲਹ ਨੂਰੁ ਉਪਾਇਆ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਕੇ ਸਭ ਬੰਦੇ ॥

Aval Aleh Noor Upaya Koodrath Kay Sabh Bundhay ||

     ਏਕ ਨੂਰ ਤੇ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਉਪਜਿਆ ਕਉਨ ਭਲੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਦੇ ॥੧॥

Ek Noor Te Sabh Jug Oopajia Kaun Bhalay Ko Mundhay ||1||

          

   God created light of which all the beings were born

    And from this one light, the entire universe welled up; 

     so who is good and who is bad. 

 

   ਮਾਟੀ ਏਕ ਅਨੇਕ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਜੀ ਸਾਜਨਹਾਰੈ ॥

Maatee Ek Anaek Bhanth Kar Sajee Sajaneharai ||

  The clay is the same, but the Fashioner has fashioned it in various ways.

In Support of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church

On behalf of the Sikh community we would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. We have you in our prayers and want you to know that you are not alone as you move forward from this senseless and violent act. To bring someone into a House of God with open arms and have them betray your acceptance with hate and violence is inaccusable. But through love and prayer, we hope that you find comfort knowing that the lives lost are now with God.
