Celebrating Guru Nanak Birthday with a difference
WSN Network 

MUMBAI: The birth anniversary of Guru Nanak is the time to visit the Gurdwara, listen to Kirtan, perform Langar and other Sewa and return home satisfied at the fulfillment of a family and community duty.  Bhupinder Singh from New Mumbai celebrates it differently. He does not go to the Gurdwara. He takes the Gurdwara to sections of society who through quirk of destiny cannot come to the Gurdwara. 

This year Bhupinder Singh took the Gurdwara to the Spastic Society and celebrated Guru Nanak’s birthday with paraplegic children.  He took everything and every one along -Sikh ladies to do Kirtan and to prepare Langar.  Bhupinder Singh and his friends interacted with the children and brought joy to their lives. The kids had a gala time enjoying the music even though they did not understand the text. 

Some children with singing talent joined the chorus in whatever way they could. For the children it was a day out. For the Sikh volunteers a day well spent in the name of God and in service of humanity in the true spirit of Guru Nanak.
