Happy Sikh Environment Day!
~~~
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Today is Sikh Environment Day. This important day marks the Gurgaddi Diwas of our Seventh Guru, Sri Guru Har Rai Ji, who is remembered in Sikh history for his deep sensitivity towards nature and its preservation and it is also  the New Year in the Sikh calendar. This is the time of the year when Sikhs globally take creative actions to spread the message of Guru Har Rai Ji.
Guru Har Rai ji inspired Sikhs to care for nature and his legacy provides one of the most inspiring models for our ecological consciousness Gurdwaras, schools and individuals all around the world are already making big changes
for the environment.
Dagshai, Himachal Pradesh: Students performed kirtan on nature and planted saplings around their campus of Dagshai Public School in honour of Guru Har Rai ji on his gurgaddi diwas.
They are one of the leading schools that dedicated March 14, to Sikh Environment Day celebrations since past 5 years.

Join this worldwide to connect with Sikhs who are part of this global movement!
Resolution by the Five Takhats for Sikh Environment Day: In March 2013, all the five takhats (spiritual seats of authority in Sikhism) endorsed and passed a resolution that Gurgaddi Diwas (coronation day ) of the 7th Sikh Guru, Guru Har Rai, should be celebrated as a Sikh Environment Day each year especially 'in light of the rising global environmental crisis'. Read the original message in Punjabi from Sri Akal Takhat Sahib.
