Spiritual Unity and Community Bonding

At Gillco International School, the practice of beginning each session with the recitation of the Sukhmani Sahib Path holds profound significance. The Sukhmani Sahib is a revered prayer composed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, offering solace, guidance, and blessings to those who recite it. By coming together to recite this sacred text, students, teachers, and staff not only cultivate a sense of spiritual connection but also foster a shared commitment to values of peace, compassion, and inner tranquility. This collective prayer is a way of expressing gratitude to the Almighty for the opportunities presented in the new academic session and seeking blessings for its success. Following the Sukhmani Sahib Path, the school community engaged in langar, a tradition deeply rooted in Sikhism. Langar is a communal meal where everyone, regardless of caste, creed, or social status, is invited to partake in a shared meal.

The langar at Gillco International School serves as more than just a meal; it is a symbol of unity, inclusivity, and community bonding. Through this shared experience of eating together, students and staff build connections, forge friendships, and deepen their understanding of the values that underpin Sikh teachings. By integrating the Sukhmani Sahib Path and langar into the school’s pre-session routine, Gillco International School not only honours its Sikh heritage but also creates a nurturing environment where students can grow spiritually, academically, and socially, guided by the principles of compassion, equality, and service to others, while seeking divine blessings for the journey ahead.
