Value-Based Spiritualised Quality Education — The Only Way to Establish Peace in the World
Previous
Next
The devastation of the 20th century’s world wars stands as a stark reminder of what humanity suffers when ego, power, and greed take precedence over compassion and wisdom.
World War I (1914–1918) resulted in around 15–22 million deaths and approximately 40 million total casualties, including wounded soldiers and civilians, involving more than a dozen nations across Europe, Asia, Africa and beyond.
World War II (1939–1945) became the deadliest conflict in human history, claiming an estimated 70–85 million lives, both military and civilian, and affecting more than 60 countries across continents. The magnitude of human loss, destruction, and displacement was unprecedented. These wars left imprints of suffering that lasted generations.
In the wake of such catastrophic destruction, global efforts were made to preserve peace. Following World War II, the United Nations (UN) was formed on 24 October 1945 to maintain international peace, security, and cooperation among nations. In 1956, the World Religion Congress was organised to explore means of establishing lasting peace across humanity.
Representing Sikh tradition at such platforms, Sant Teja Singh Ji articulated a profound truth:
The only way to establish peace in the world is to provide value-based, spiritualised education to young children, education rooted in humility, care, sympathy and empathy.
When children are nurtured from a young age with these qualities, they grow into adults who are sensitive to the needs of society, considerate of others, and committed to collective well-being. Such inner refinement, when widespread, becomes the foundation of permanent peace, slow and steady, yet irreversible.
Following this vision of the saints, the mission of Akal Academy Baru Sahib is to offer value-based spiritualised education that cultivates caring, responsible, and creative personalities who can become role models for others. Through multi-curricula education - IB, Cambridge, and CBSE - students are guided academically, morally, and spiritually.
Every day at Akal Academy begins with Nitnem, grounding students in spiritual awareness and the remembrance of the Divine. Before every meal, students offer prayer; in the evening, they recite Rehras Sahib and before sleep, Sohila Sahib. Over time, these divine practices become part of their character, shaping noble personalities who genuinely care for others. Where there is care, there is no room for war.

Guru Shabad – The Divine Combination of Guru Bani & Music!
Previous
Next
Music has always been a powerful element in human life. It has the ability to calm the mind, reduce stress and connect the human spirit with deeper emotions and consciousness. Across cultures and religions, music finds its place in one form or another, as prayer, meditation or remembrance of the Divine.
In Sikhi, music is an integral part of the Guru Shabad. From the time of Pehli Patshahi, Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, music became the sacred vessel for transmitting the Guru Shabad, the divine truth. Guru Sahib would recite the Shabad, and Bhai Mardana Ji, his lifelong companion, would play the Rabab, giving musical form to the divine utterance. Guru Nanak Dev Ji is traditionally remembered as saying to Bhai Mardana Ji:
“Mardanya, Rabab chher- Bani aayi hai.”
(Mardana Ji, play the Rabab, the Divine Shabad has arrived from the Eternal Source.)
This sacred tradition of using string instruments continued through successive Guru Sahibans. Instruments such as the Taus, introduced and played during the time of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji (The 6th Sikh Guru Sahib), and the Dilruba, developed during the time of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (The 10th Sikh Guru Sahib), further enriched the spiritual and musical heritage of Sikhi.
Following this ancient tradition, students of Akal Academy, across curricula - Cambridge, IB and CBSE, are trained daily in various string instruments alongside their academic education. These include the Rabab, Taus, Dilruba, Sarangi, Veena, and Sitar, among others.
Currently, students are learning around 10 string instruments and practicing a total of nearly 30 different musical instruments. This holistic training nurtures the next generation of learners to grow into true Gursikhs—individuals who excel in worldly education, perform Guru Shabad, master traditional instruments, and practice martial disciplines such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Gatka. This integrated approach shapes a holistic personality, envisioned by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Through regular musical training and Shabad Kirtan, these students actively participate in spreading awareness of Sikhi through Guru Bani. As a continuation of this small effort, students of Akal Academy Baru Sahib will be performing Guru Shabad today, 7th February, at Gurudwara Sahib, Sector 18, Noida, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Day 12 | Real-Life Humility – Lessons from the Lives of the Great The Story of Bhagat Puran Singh, The Saint of Pingalwara Charitable Society

True humility is not just a principle written in scriptures—it is lived by those who truly embody selflessness, service, and devotion. One of the greatest examples of humility in action comes from Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who, despite being a warrior-saint and Guru Sahib, always considered himself a servant of the Divine and the Sikh Panth.
The Story of Bhagat Puran Singh – The Saint of Pingalwara
In the 20th century, one of the greatest examples of humility in action was Bhagat Puran Singh, the founder of Pingalwara, an institution dedicated to serving the sick, disabled and destitute.
Article content
He spent his entire life carrying abandoned and sick individuals on his shoulders, bringing them to safety and care.
Despite his tremendous work, he never sought recognition, awards, or power.
He lived simply, often sleeping on the floor, wearing tattered clothes, and eating basic meals, because he gave everything he had to the service of others.
Article content
One of his most famous sayings was:
ਰੱਬ ਦੇ ਬੰਦਿਆ, ਰੱਬ ਬੰਨੇ ਦਾ ਵੀਖ।
Rabb de bandea, rabb bann ke vekh.
(O human, serve as if you were God Himself caring for others.)
Bhagat Puran Singh’s life showed that humility is not about words, it is about selfless action.
