Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji’s USA Tour – an awareness campaign on Gurmat, Global Peace & Rebuilding Punjab!
The disciple of Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji and Mukh Sevadar (President) of The Kalgidhar Trust, Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, is currently travelling across the USA to share the message of Gurmat, Gurbani, global peace and the mission of rebuilding Punjab through value-based education and a drug-free society.
During the first leg of the tour in Seattle, Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji interacted with the sadh sangat, addressing issues such as global unrest and the pressing challenges faced by Punjab. Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji emphasised that the most sustainable and long-term solution lies in value-based education for every family, particularly in rural areas.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to S. Baljeet Singh Dhillon, Bibi Paramjeet Kaur Ghuman Ji, and S. Surinder Singh Ghuman Ji for their warm hospitality.
Sangat also travelled all the way from Canada, including Bubli Bhenji and other sangat from Vancouver, reflecting how shared values and collective purpose transcend geographical boundaries.
Moving further, the following day, a seminar was conducted in Seattle where Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji shared how nearly 100 Akal Academies across Punjab are strengthening the roots of the state by empowering rural education.
Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji also highlighted the role of the Akal De-Addiction Centres in building a drug-free Punjab, which focuses not only on treatment but also on rehabilitation, skill-building, and reintegration of patients into society.
We sincerely thank Dr. Sarabjit Singh Virk Ji for his invaluable contribution and for conducting the seminar.
We warmly invite all the Sadh Sangat to join this mission of rebuilding Punjab and fostering global peace through value-based education.

ਵਿਦਿਆ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਤਾਂ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰੀ ॥
vidhiaa veechaaree thaan paroupakaaree ||
Education is meaningful only when it leads to the service and upliftment of others.
In a world facing war and rising uncertainties, Punjab too continues to battle its own long-standing challenges of the drug menace, unemployment, religious conversion and gaps in rural education. The recent floods brought further devastation, pushing countless families into distress.
At moments like these, the world needs a lighthouse, not merely for direction, but for peace, prosperity and the preservation of timeless values. Such a lighthouse was envisioned by Sant Attar Singh Ji and brought into reality by Sant Teja Singh Ji and Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji through institutions like Akal Academies, dedicated to values-based education and shaping students into messengers of peace.
Following the devastation of World War II, the 1956 World Religion Congress in Japan convened to foster interfaith dialogue and global harmony. It was at this Congress that Sant Teja Singh Ji articulated a message that has since become our mission:
“The only way to establish lasting peace in the world is to provide value-based education to very young children.”
Carrying forward this vision, Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, who humbly serves as the Mukh Sevadar (President) of The Kalgidhar Trust, along with the Sevadaar team, is now traveling across the USA, meeting Sangat, connecting with alumni, and inspiring communities with the message of Gurbani, Gurmat and global well-being through value-based education.
We humbly invite all to join this mission -
28th Nov – 30th Nov – Seattle, Washington
30th Nov- 11:30 Am, Gurudwara Singh Sabha, 5200 Talbot Rd S, Renton, WA 98055.

The celebration began with the Shabad “Dum Na BirthaJaye”, filling the atmosphere with gratitude and grace.Students presented a meaningful play about a monk and four birds - a crow, swan, parrot and peacock, each wishing to be someone else.
Their journey revealed a beautiful message: true happiness comes from embracing who we are, without comparison, for each of us is uniquely created by the Divine.
The celebration also featured an engaging Musical Quiz on classical string instruments, followed by a graceful Kathak dance performance and an adorable puppet show, where students narrated their story through handcrafted puppets, adding colour and rhythm to the day.
A kind word. A gentle act. A grateful heart

> For the sake of Dharma, Guru Sahib sacrificed himself.
> Gave his head but not his principles.
>
>
> Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the 9th Guru Nanak (9th Sikh Guru Sahib), is revered as “Hind Di Chadar”—the Shield of India. Guru Sahib’s supreme sacrifice in 1675 remains one of humanity’s greatest acts of courage, compassion and commitment to protecting the rights of others.
>
> In 1675, during the oppressive rule of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the Kashmiri Pandit community faced severe religious persecution and the threat of forced conversion. With no refuge left, they turned to Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji at Anandpur Sahib, seeking protection and guidance.
>
> Recognising the severity of their suffering, Guru Sahib made a historic decision that changed the course of India’s spiritual and human rights landscape. Guru Sahib declared that if the Mughal emperor could convert him, the spiritual guide of millions, then the entire community would accept conversion. If not, the tyranny must stop.
>
> This powerful stand was not for the Kashmiri Pandits alone; it was for the universal right of every human being to practise their faith freely.
>
> Guru Sahib, along with three devoted Sikhs - Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji and Bhai Dayala Ji, left from Anandpur Sahib and offered themselves for arrest at Agra, after which they were taken to Delhi. The beloved Sikhs faced severe torture but remained unshaken in their faith.
>
> In November 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji attained martyrdom in Chandni Chowk, giving His life so that others could follow their faith with freedom and dignity.
>
> After the martyrdom, the Sacred Sheesh (holy head) of Guru Sahib was carried from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita Ji (later Bhai Jiwan Singh Ji). Wherever Bhai Sahab Ji stopped on the way, Gurdwaras, known as Gurdwara Sri Seesh Ganj Sahib , stand today in remembrance. The Sacred Sheesh was cremated at Anandpur Sahib in the presence of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
>
> The Sacred body of Guru Sahib was cremated by Bhai Lakhi Shah Banjara Ji, who set fire to his own house to perform the cremation safely.
>
> Witnessing this profound injustice, Guru Gobind Singh Ji urged the Sikhs to prepare themselves, a message that later led to the creation of the Khalsa Panth, a disciplined spiritual force to stand against oppression and protect righteousness.
>
> This unparalleled sacrifice of Guru Sahib marked a turning point in Indian history:
>
> * It defended freedom of belief.
> * It challenged religious persecution.
> * It established the Sikh community as protectors of human rights.
>
> Three and a half centuries later, Guru Sahib’s message remains eternal - Stand for truth. Protect the oppressed. Uphold human dignity at all costs.
