Sewa Bhaav In Action The Sikh Community’s Acts of Selfless Service for all of Humanity

Sikhs embrace selfless service, Sewa, inspired by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak’s act of using his father’s Rs. 20 to feed and clothe starving Sadhus reflects the ingrained value of serving others before one’s own self. This ethos continues to shape Sikhism today.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sikh communities in India set up “Oxygen Langars” where people could come to receive free oxygen support. Gurdwaras procured and distributed oxygen cylinders to patients struggling to get hospital beds or oxygen supplies.

During the global COVID pandemic, Sikh communities all over the world came together, and Gurdwaras converted their premises into quarantine centers and provided free meals (langar) to those in need, irrespective of their religion or nationality. Langar sewa was also carried out by delivering food to the doorsteps of patients.

Following Hurricane Harvey in the United States, Sikh communities across the country raised funds, donated supplies, and provided meals to those affected by the disaster. The Sikh Center of Gulf Coast Area, transformed into a disaster relief hub, providing aid to thousands.

During the devastating bushfires in Australia. Sikh volunteers served free meals to displaced individuals and firefighters. They drove hundreds of miles each day to deliver food, proving their commitment to the community service principle of their faith.

Sikhs have consistently provided aid and support to refugees worldwide. They were notably active during the Syrian refugee crisis, providing food, shelter, and other necessities to displaced individuals.
