Lauren KATHAGE (Yan Yean) (10:27): ‘Chol waheguru, chol waheguru’ is what I repeated as I padded barefoot up and down amongst the Sunday school students at the local gurdwara, who had gathered to learn and participate in their religion and culture. What is so special about that is that in doing that you are calling them God, acknowledging that the server and the servee are both the Guru, and it is a wonderful way to approach life – that we serve others and give them the respect that the Guru deserves. So thank you to Jashanpreet Singh for the kind invitation. We were celebrating the fantastic investment by this government in their infrastructure there, a growing Sikh community in Wallan, who deserve our very best wishes and I certainly give them that.
