Dr. Harminder Singh, Philadelphia, PAThis seminar is about. “Responsibilities of Gurdwara and Sangat in Nurturing Sikh Heritage in our Youth.”
As members of the Sikh Sangat, we need to have a hard look at our responsibilities in Nurturing Sikh Heritage in our youth. Without Sangat’s involvement, nothing can be achieved. For the future of the Sikh Faith it is very important that we recognize the needs of our future generation and give importance and priority to teaching them Punjabi, Gurbani, and our history. Gurdwaras are our institutions and they can address whatever Sangat’s needs are.
This Seminar will give us an opportunity to remind ourselves and take more initiative in fulfilling our duties. To raise our children as strong and proud Sikhs it’s collective effort of parents, Sangat, and our Sikh institutions.
Please join us and participate in the discussion session after Langer. These sessions are a very important part of our seminars; we can discuss, learn, and have a chance to share our views with each other.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Thank you and Guru Fateh.
Yashpal Singh

Unfortunately I cannot attend as I will be out of town, however, I did want to comment on the discussion.
The discussion appears to be directed to parents and the older sangat. While I think this is very important I think it is just as important to direct our attention to the millenial generation. The 18 to 30 year old age group. I personally think the Sikh Youth is very strong in regard to Sikh Heritage and this is because of force from parents and gurudwara sangat. However, as the Sikh youth progresses through high school and college, the ‘millenial’ Sikhs need to be more apparent and have a better positive influence on the children of the sangat.
As members of the Sikh Sangat, we need to have a hard look at our responsibilities in Nurturing Sikh Heritage in our youth.
