Sir,
“Nam japo avrhe nam japave” (Take God’s Name and tell others to do so) We read this sentence so many times in Gurbani but let us pause and think as to what every Sikh is being told to do After doing Jaap ourselves we should persuade other people of the world to do the same. But before we ask other people of the world do do Jaap we have to tell them the basic values of the Sikh religion. Kirat Karni wand Chhakna and Naam Japna. We have to tell them why we keep” unshom hair and turban. Most Americans mix us up with Iraqis or Iranians. It is the duty of every Sikh to clear misunderstanding and set the things straights. If Guru Gobind Singh’s Sikh can fight with Sava Lakh then at least every Sikh living here should be to able to tell Sava lakh Americans about Sikhism.
Please help Sikh cause by telling Americans about fundamental virtues of Sikhism Simran Seva and sharing.
