Grandparents day is celebrated September 12th in the United States. This gallery is a tribute to Gursikh grandparents who nurture their grandchildren by providing spiritual experiences and enriching opportunities to enjoy treasured traditions. Many Sikh grandparents play an active role in the upbringing and education of grandchildren in Sikhism. It is common for Sikh grandparents to live with grandchildren in an extended family, especially during their first years of life. Grandparents who help mothers and fathers with the care of children enable the family unit to grow strong and secure the family bond. Gursikh grandparents who are devoted to the Sikh life style may serve as an inspiration to their grandchildren. Grandparents may also be inspired to renew their own faith when grandchildren are born into the family.
Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, wrote:
"Mannai Parvaarai saadhaar ||
The faithful uplift and redeem their families." SGGS||3
