Father's Day Tribute to Singhs

The ten gurus of the Sikhs stressed the importance of family life and spiritual living by example. Gurbani, the scripture of Siri Guru Granth Sahib, in many instances compares the relationship of the creator and creation to that of father and child. Initiated Sikhs are considered to belong to one family of Khalsa whose father is Guru Gobind Singh and mother, Mata Sahib Kaur. Khalsa fathers are encouraged to bring their children up educated in the ways of Sikhism.

Guru Amardas, third guru of the Sikhs wrote:

“Pae-ee-a-rai jag jivan data gurmat man vasaa-i-aa
In this world of my father's house, through the Guru's Teachings, I have cultivated within my mind the Great Giver, the Life of the World”. SGGS||65
