May we honor the sanctity of all faiths, the beautiful mosaic of spiritual traditions; Pray for and build an ever-expanding and all-embracing ‘Circle of Light’.

Rejoice and witness in its universal warmth and understanding that “All humanity is One Race, One Brotherhood.” ~ Kanwal Prakash Singh ~ • nmo sUrj sUrjy nmo cMMdR cMdyR ] nmo rwj rwjy nmo ieMdR ieMdyR ] nmo AMDkwry nmo qyj qyjy ] nmo ibMRd ibMRdy nmo bIj bIjy ] 185] Salutations to you, O God who is sun of suns, the moon of moons; king of kings and king of kings of angels; the darkest pitch darkness, the brightest of lights; manifested in the tiniest of seeds and largest elements of nature and creation.

~ Jaap Sahib, Patshai 10 ~ • SIKHISM: The Sikh faith was enriched, strengthened, and guided by ten successive Gurus (Enlightened Teachers) between 1469-1708. The Tenth and last Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh, created Khalsa (The Order of the Pure) in 1699; mandated wearing sacred symbols, self-defense, and distinct identity for all followers; and before his death at Nander in 1708, declared The Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh Holy Scripture) as the Eternal Guru of Sikhs.
