How to read Gurbani, and taking us to kirtan lessons. Spent a lot of time teaching us about Sikh history by reading stories, teaching That helping other people’s children is the same as helping their own. Guru Ji gave us Gurbani so that we can learn how to live with humanity as oneįamily.” This is certainly what my parents have lived by. Guru Gobind Singh Ji taught us that all humanity is our family.
