We are imagining a contemporary future for Sikhs. Through innovation and investment we are creating a Sikh institution for the future and encouraging new opportunities for connection to the Guru's wisdom. Charter Members share their unique perspective and motivation to be a part of SikhRI.
“You are Divine” says Guru Granth Sahib in order to trigger our journey on the path of awareness. With the realization of your divinity, you become one. “But how can I be exceptional?” You might ask. Exceptional is not equal to superior. When you recognize the divinity within you, you recognize the divinity in everyone around you as well. In the new SikhRI video, we are walking you through the Gurbani view of divinity… The world is the creation of the Divine, reflecting the Divine being and Divine purpose. The Guru reaffirmed this natural order and brought worldly structures—the family, social and economic systems—within the orbit of religious concern. We consider human life to be an opportunity to develop ourselves by practicing piety and devoting ourselves to the service of humanity, thereby improving society as a whole. “The body,” says Guru Nanak, “is the palace, the temple, the house of Divine; into it rests the Divine eternal light.” For us, a true person of faith does not retreat from the world, but… battles in the open field With the mind perfectly in control And with a heart poised in love, all the time. This in a nutshell is the Sikh way of life. The Divine Light in All The deeper our awareness, our connection to the Divine, the more vibrant is our participation in the everyday affairs of life. Our human obligation is to refine our mental, emotional and spiritual faculties so that we can construct a better world for all of us and our future generations. We are all equally responsible. This duty is not just for the learned or the preachers or the social workers—this is for all. Equality is paramount. The Guru says, “The one who regards all as equal is truly religious.” The Divine Light is in all and is the same. We recognize our differences, but in the Guru’s voice, “Different vestures from different countries may make us different; nevertheless, we have the same eyes, the same ears, the same body, the same voice.” The Guru urges us to raise our consciousness and come to the realization that we are all equally human and have the same biological and spiritual ingredients. The secret of Divine knowledge lies within each of us. Each moment is an unfolding invitation to celebrate and contemplate the vast field of love. If you keep your heart in awe, reverence and devotion, you will be immersed in the Divine glory.

Guru Nanak Sahib’s 550 years Prakash Purab (Illumination day) is about the light that shines like the Sun and the proclamation that roars like the Lion. The vision of this exhibit is to give the audience a glimpse into the life and legacy of Guru Nanak Sahib. Therefore, each narrative focuses on Guru’s messages in their essence. No background on the sakhis (witnessed, written accounts) is required to understand the content, which is Gurbani-focused yet accessible to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike. The exhibition begins with the arrival of the Guru, followed by the travels of the Guru through modern Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and concluding with the Guru bequeathing the Light to the Second Nanak - Guru Angad Sahib. Bring this experience to your area. Click here: https://www.sikhri.org/guru_nanak_sahib_13_panel_portable_exhibition_sikhri
