Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

In the intricate tapestry of humanity woven by Mother Nature, our quest for knowledge
distinguishes us. “ਸੋ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ||”(SGGS, Ang 364). This Shabad emphasizes that
understanding is not complete unless it is accompanied by a loving acceptance of divine
will. When this quest converges with Gurmat, the wisdom of the Gurus blends the spiritual
and worldly realms seamlessly.
In our individualistic societies, economic challenges are not the sole concern. Preserving
religious and cultural values, and globally representing our faith, pose significant
challenges. For three decades, Khalsa School has been a stalwart ambassador of
educating our community in Sikhi. ” ਸਿਖੀ ਸਿਿਖਆ ਗੁਰ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥” (SGGS, Ang 465). This teaching
reminds us to engage in the thoughtful contemplation of virtues, a principle that Khalsa
School consistently upholds.
Khalsa School is committed to imparting not only academic but also the profound wisdom
of Sri Guru Granth Sahib to its students. The relentless efforts of our Gurmat Department
ensure a deep understanding of cultural roots, language, and spirituality. We incorporate
traditional Sikh teachings in classical kirtan on Puratan instruments in addition to our
students being able to read and understand Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as part of their school
curriculum; the level and depth of Sikh education attained at our institution is
incomparable. Events like the Religious Fair, Kirtan and Tabla Competitions, Gatka
Competitions, Gurbani Kanth Mukabla, Punjabi writing competitions, and Turban-tying
contests enrich our students’ experiences.
Commencing each session with Sri Akhand Paath Sahib, organized by students, we
celebrate Gurupurabs monthly, practicing devotion in the form of kirtan and dhadhi varaan.
” ਸੇਵਕ ਸਿਖ ਪੂਜਣ ਸਭਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਊਤਮ ਬਾਨੀ ॥ਗਾਵਿਆ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਕਾ ਹਰਿ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਵੈ
ਜਿਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਸਤਿ ਸਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨੀ ॥” (SGGS, Ang 669). This Shabad underscores the
importance of conquering the mind’s passions, aligning with the efforts of Khalsa School to
instill discipline and devotion in its students. Amrit Sanchaar on special occasions also
highlights the importance of raising a new generation of practicing Sikhs in our community.
Recognizing the prevalence of vices in this age, particularly addiction, instilling strong
values and spiritual awareness is crucial to steer students away from detrimental
influences. The Gurmat Department is dedicated to fortifying students against such vices.
We are here to serve our community and make our future generations better human beings.
The sangat’s pivotal role in Khalsa School’s accomplishments cannot be overstated. We
urge the Sikh Sangat to enroll their children, fostering the growth of both individual faith and
the broader Sikh community.” ਗੁਰ ਜਪੁ ਜਾਪਿ ਜਪਤ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਗਿਆਨ ਦੀਪਕੁ ਸੰਤ ਸੰਗਨਾ॥” (SGGS,
Ang 1080).This Shabad stresses the importance of living in the company of the holy,

reinforcing the communal spirit and shared commitment to Sikh values that Khalsa School
seeks to cultivate.
Thank you,
