Let us take care of Sikhs’ unique Identity by keeping up the “unshorn long
hair, beard, moustaches and eyebrows, with Turban on head for males and
scarf for females whether in homes or at work places”. We should also follow
“Gurbaani and Qurbaani” as ordained by our Guru Sahibaan through “the Divine
Word enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib” as well as to practice the “Sikh
Reht Maryada” published and propagated by the SGPC.

Apart from English & any other local language, we should also Learn Punjabi, Speak Punjabi and Write Punjabi in Gurmukhi script. It will help us to understand Sikhs’ Sacred Scripture.

{87 million persons speak Punjabi Language globally. But within Australia, Punjabi speaking persons are: 23,164}

May Almighty God bless all irrespective of region or religion.
