Sikh Visitor

Today, we had an exciting visitor who taught us about Sikhism! We learned about the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhs, which is treated like a living teacher and kept in a special place in every Gurdwara, the Sikh place of worship.
Our visitor explained that everyone is welcome at a Gurdwara, where people volunteer to cook and share meals with everyone, showing kindness and equality. We also heard about the Sikh naming ceremony: when a baby is born, the family chooses a name starting with a special letter from the Guru Granth Sahib.
The best part was listening to the Vaja, a musical instrument Sikhs use to play hymns. The soft music was calming and helped us feel the peacefulness of Sikh prayers.
This visit taught us about the importance of respect, kindness, and community. We really enjoyed learning about Sikhism!
