Synopsis

A team of dedicated Northern California Khalsa School teachers and youth created the Gurmat Studies series to familiarize children with core Sikh principles exemplied by our Guru Sahiban and Gursikhs. The project started as a way to teach students about Sakhis and Gurmat. Inadvertently, it also doubled as a source of inspiration to youth facing the challenge of living a Gursikh life in contemporary society. Young people often become distanced from Sikhi because of insecurities developed from systematic racism and societal discrimination - both obvious and subtle - in the media, school, and workplace. The curriculum helps to dispel insecurities because it aims to instill youth with a core Sikh spirit of Charhdi Kala. This blissful state of mind allows for one to bear hardships without succumbing to social pressures or negative emotions such as fear or anger. Young Sikhs can understand the Charhdi Kala spirit as well as other Sikh concepts by engaging with the series, which consists of eight books targeted for different age groups.
