Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
To mark the Sikh New Year ‘Vaisakhi’ the Sikh Society of Wolves Uni hosted an exciting event for all students and visitors.
The event was no doubt successful as it attracted hundreds of people from all different ethnic backgrounds and cultures.
A Langar of Samose and Sholay brought a smile to the event attendees. The Langar was washed down by an assortment of soft drinks served by Sikh Society sevadaars.
The Langar was exercised off by Baljit Singh’s Gatka Akhara. Just watching them seemed to take off pounds! The Gatka demonstrations were spectacular to watch and it showed the spectators the fighting spirit of the Khanda born.
Apart from all the fun of the day there was also a large amount learnt about Sikhi by the visitors. This was done by the stalls set up presenting information about different aspects of Sikhi. For example, there were stalls based on Kirtan, the Five Kakkars and stalls with pictures of old times. These proved helpful as a picture tells a thousand words.
There was also a Dastaar tying workshop where Dastaara were tied on those who wanted a taster of what it is like wearing a crown.
After the event many Sikh visitors went to the Ramgharia Gurdwara where the youth took turns to sing Kirtan. There was a show of beautiful voices and different styles for those who were listening. Committee members of the Gurdwara also came to take advantage of the Sangat’s company.
But all this would not have been possible if it hadn’t been for our trusty Sikh Society sevadaars. So a big thank you to everyone who took part in helping to make the day a success and a valuable learning experience. And of course a thank you to all the visitors who came by to support the Sikh Society event. You all made it a day to remember!
