Dear Sadh Sangat Ji.

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh.

SikhNet and the global Sikh community stand with the innocent. No person who believes in the compassion of the Creator can call these actions “religious.” Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of all who have died, or been wounded as well as to all the communities affected.

The attacks in Paris brought other acts of terrorism into the spotlight. Especially an attack which took place on Thursday, November 12 in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 43 people and injuring dozens.

Be Visible In Service to your Community

As the spectre of global terrorism continues to grow, one of the most effective ways we can defend the Sikh identity is to be even more visible doing service in larger communities. Please find ways to get together with your friends and family and do some type of seva in the neighborhoods and cities where you live. That touch of service, along with our smiling faces, simply explaining to people who the Sikhs are in a grassroots way, is one of the most powerful tools we have to build bridges of understanding.

Please feel free to share the "Who are the Sikhs" page with your wider community.

Who Are the Sikhs

SikhNet has just completed the first in a series of six global Sahaj Paaths involving readers from many countries. As we plan more Sahaj Paaths in the weeks ahead, our prayers will extend to all those who have suffered and died in the senseless violence that has begun to affect so many places around the world.

May the Guru’s Light guide and protect all humanity.
