Sikh Women: Sukhmani Sahib Clubs And Int’l Day Of Peace

Is your mom “chapter president” or a “member” of the local Sikh women’s Sukhmani Sahib club? Many Sikh women (generally those with Auntie status) are commendably coming together to form small groups who go to each other’s homes about once a month to do Sukhmani Sahib da paat to help111329400_20661105ae.jpg bring/remember peace. Sometimes there is a specific issue a woman’s family is encountering and at other times it just for general familial peace. Thus, our mothers and aunties get to socialize about their everyday lives and connect spiritually through sangat and paat! One of the many things we could learn from them about practicing Sikhi!

As International Day of Peace approaches on September 21st, these groups of Sikh women are being asked to come together to recite Sukhmani Sahib da paat. Sukhmani can be defined as counselor of peace or peace of mind with sukh meaning “peace” and mani meaning “mind”, “heart” or “jewel”. The entire paat/poem is known as the “jewel of peace” or “song of peace”. So if your mom belongs to one of these groups or is interested in joining/creating one, please let her know about this day of observance! Now she can do paat to help bring/remember peace in the world along with your well-being!

p.s. It’s always interesting about how many Sikh women are the focal points for spirituality in homes … but that’s another post! :)

    Actually, "mani" means jewel. Sukhmani Sahib is the jewel of infinite peace.

    There is another bani called Sukhmana Sahib which is a compilation of banis from Guru Granth Sahib ji and in that, the "mana" means mind.

    Thank you for your wonderful work. I would like to let you know about Peace X Peace, an international global community of women that are connected through the internet.

There is no cost and it is easy for your women to immediately connect to other women through the internet.

    Every financial institution, especially schools provide students with a code of conduct i.e. a uniform is told to all students to wear with. It is the sign of discipline. All the poor children should be given free uniforms.
