Philosophy of Sikhism
Sikhs believe that human beings spend their time in a cycle of birth, life, and rebirth. They share this belief with followers of other Indian religious traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The quality of each particular life depends on the law of Karma. Sikhism advocates equality, social justice, service to humanity, and tolerance for other religions. The essential message of Sikhism is spiritual devotion and reverence of God at all times while practicing the ideals of honesty, compassion, humility and generosity in everyday life. There are three core tenets of the Sikh religion: meditation upon and devotion to the Creator, truthful living, and service to humanity. Sikhs are meant to uphold the values of honesty, compassion, generosity, humility, integrity, service, and spirituality on a daily basis.
Langar is free vegetarian food which is served in Gurdwara (a Sikh temple) kitchens every day.
People said that there is no free meal but in Sikhism it’s another story :In the Sikh religion, everyone is welcome to enjoy langar (free meal)regardless of their faith, gender, age or status.
It is offered by every single Gurdwara in the world, with over 10,000 meals provided in the UK per week and over six million every day across the world. Due to pandemic this year it is limited with some precautions but never stop going all over the globe!
This is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism. #gurunanak #Gurpurab #sikh #sikhism #GOLDENTEMPLE
