Today I was reminded of something very deep in my heart: our Guru is everything. When we step inside a Darbar Hall, we should feel the presence of Guru Ji — our living Guru, our guide, our heart, and our soul. Above all positions, titles, and worldly things, Guru Ji is the highest. It is through Guru Ji that we connect ourselves to Waheguru.

Today I went to Gurdwara Gur Gian Sagar for the first time after the construction and was blessed with the opportunity to do seva. It is difficult to fully put into words what I felt. Being in Guru Ji’s home, seeing Guru Ji seated in such a beautiful and respectful place, and simply being given the blessing to serve touched my heart in a way I cannot explain.

Doing seva for Guru Ji did not feel like a task — it felt like a blessing. It reminded me that seva is not just something we do; it is a way of living. It is an expression of love, humility, devotion, and gratitude.

In life, we spend so much time running after things that one day will be left behind. We chase titles, achievements, and worldly things that will not stay with us forever. But seva is different. Seva becomes a part of us. It leaves an imprint on the soul.

Doing seva is one of the greatest gifts in life because it teaches us humility, teaches us gratitude, and reminds us that our hands were not created only to receive, but also to serve.

Today was a reminder that there is no greater blessing than serving in Guru Ji’s home.

The placement of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a matter of convenience—it is a reflection of our faith, our understanding, and our reverence.

At Gurdwara Gur Gian Sagar, the current reality that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is placed in the basement raises a profound concern. In Sikhi, Guru Sahib is not a symbol—Guru Sahib is our living Guru. The physical space we offer reflects the spiritual place we give.

To place Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji below ground level, while higher levels exist, sends a message—whether intended or not—that contradicts the very foundation of Gurmat. Our Guru should never be placed beneath us. Instead, Guru Sahib must always be elevated—physically and spiritually—above all, just as the Guru’s wisdom stands above our own ego, desires, and worldly attachments.

Historically and spiritually, Sikhs have always ensured that Guru Sahib is seated in the most honored, highest space. This is not about architecture—it is about maryada (discipline), respect, and truth. When the Guru is placed at the highest point, it reminds every Sikh who enters:
we rise by bowing, and we live by placing the Guru above ourselves.

Placing Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in a basement risks normalizing a mindset where convenience overtakes reverence. It weakens the visual and spiritual message for our children—that the Guru is supreme, central, and above all. Our spaces teach. Our actions teach. And right now, the lesson being taught is not aligned with the depth of respect our Guru deserves.

This is not about criticism—it is about realignment.
It is about asking ourselves:
Are we truly giving Guru Sahib the highest place in our lives, if we are not giving the highest place in our Gurdwara?

The sangat deserves a space where Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is enthroned at the highest level, visible, central, and honored in a way that reflects the true spirit of Sikhi.

Because when we elevate Guru Sahib,
we elevate ourselves.
