Sikhism was founded upon profound reverence for the
sanctity of the spiritual nature of every human being
and abiding respect for whatever path that brings any
person into their relationship with The Holy. Sikhs are
known throughout the world for their remarkably generous
hospitality in feeding the hungry.

Nanak in the Punjab area of India and Pakistan in a
time of the great injustice of the caste system.
