Sikhi - Gurudwara Dashmesh Darbar Sahib

Pillars of Sikhi

Staying True to Our Roots
In today’s fast-changing world, it’s more important than ever for Sikhs to stay connected to their core values:

Naam Japna

Naam Japna means more than chanting God's name. It’s about continuously remembering Waheguru throughout life, just as naturally as we think of our daily responsibilities.
True Naam Japna begins with surrender to Waheguru — letting go of ego and self-reliance. Instead of managing everything ourselves, we humbly ask Waheguru to guide and care for us.

Kirat Karni

(Honest Living)

Guru Gobind Singh Ji emphasized the importance of living a truthful and honorable life by earning one’s livelihood through honest and righteous means. He instructed Sikhs to work hard without deceit or exploitation, to remain humble, and to always contribute positively to society. His teachings advocate ethical conduct, self-reliance, and service to humanity, reminding us that honest labor is as sacred as devotion itself.

Vand shakna
(Guru Ka Lanagar)

Guru Nanak Dev Ji emphasized the importance of selflessness and equality through the practice of Vand Shakna — sharing resources with those in need. Guru Ji established the tradition of Guru Ka Langar, where food is served free to all regardless of caste, religion, or social status. By this divine order, Sikhs are taught to practice charity, promote unity, and foster a spirit of humility and service, ensuring that no one goes hungry or feels excluded from the community.

Seva

(Selfless Service)

Guru Amar Das Ji, through his life and teachings, emphasized the importance of Seva — selfless service without any expectation of reward. Sikhs are guided to serve humanity with humility and compassion, whether by volunteering at the Gurdwara, preparing and serving Langar, or assisting those in need, embodying love and equality through every act of service.
Selfless service begins by uplifting one’s own community while fostering unity and collective strength.

paatsahi Daawa

Guru Gobind Singh Ji bestowed the Sikhs with Paatsahi Daawa (sovereignty and kingship), empowering Sikhs to live with dignity and defend righteousness.
The struggle for Khalistan, rooted in the pursuit of justice and self-determination, echoes the spirit of Khalsa, emphasizing the need for both personal strength and collective responsibility to ensure equality and freedom for all.
