In this first episode Jasvir has a jubliant conversation with Guruchanan Kaur who fell in love with Sikhi through her musical background (both Jasvir and Guruchanan are cofounders of kaurvoices.org, a platform for empowering Sikh women). Guruchanan was amazed when she found that there is a religion based off music, that our Gurus themselves invented musical instruments, and that our teachings are organized in raags, showing how central music is in Sikhi.
SEVA, which stands for Sikhs Engaged in Volunteer Activities, is running two food distribution drives with LVMPD's help.
In association with Indian Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) Foundation, the Behala Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (BGPC) has been preparing fresh food in its community kitchens for over 5,000 people everyday and distributing them in and around the city for the last 45 days since the lockdown.

They collected enough cash to purchase thousands of N95 and other medical masks from business contacts in the U.S. and donated them to local law enforcement and hospitals.
Mr. Singh was pleased to announce that Cleanxa continues to give free masks to law enforcement, first responders, and health care workers. He created a process where any law enforcement officer, first responder, or health care worker can obtain a free Cleanxa mask. Cleanxa has distributed over 1000 free masks.
SEWA is the rent we pay for the privilege of human life on this planet. Be of service in whatever capacity you can to those in need. BUT, do service without expectation of acknowledgement or expectations of any returns and in total humility.
