Our Inspiration

Guru Nanak Sahib Ji laid the foundation of the concept of langar or the Sikh community kitchen, in a very unique way. When Guru Ji was about 12 years old, his father, Mehta Kalu, himself a successful businessman, wanted his son to also establish himself in business. Mehta Kalu gave his son, Guru Nanak Sahib Ji Rupees 20. Mehta Kalu told his son to use the money to do “Sacha Sauda’, meaning to make a profitable trade.Accompanied by his brother, Balram, Guru Nanak Sahib Ji set out to make some purchases. On the way, they came across a village, where the people were starving, thirsty and sick due to lack of water and an outbreak of disease.Moved by their plight, Guru Ji bought some food and distributed this food among these people.On returning home, Guru Nanak Sahib Ji told his father, Mehta Kalu, what he did. The father was angry and chided his son for wasting money. 

​

Guru Nanak Sahib Ji said, "Father you asked us to carry out some profitable transaction. No bargain can be more truly profitable than to feed and clothe the needy. I cannot leave this true bargain. It is seldom that we get an opportunity to carry out some profitable transaction like this."At 12 years of age, by investing Rupees 20, Guru Nanak Sahib Ji laid the foundations for investment in the langar or the Sikh community kitchen, which continues till today. Doing good to the people is the way of a Sikh. Sharing with the needy, makes the day of a Sikh. The true bargain of life is sharing one's earning and learnings with the needy and helping in whatever way we can.

We modeled our organization in honor of this Sikh devotion to humanity and selfless service.
