This week at Dashmesh Gurdwara’s Wednesday Sikh History Class, our students shared thoughtful and creative homework presentations, each exploring deep Sikh concepts in their own way:
Group 1 created a map model showing the important places Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited — including Talwandi, Sultanpur, Batala, Lahore, Eminabad, and Sri Nankana Sahib. The children beautifully explained each sakhi connected to these locations and the gurdwaras that now stand there. They also recited a heartfelt Punjabi poem summarizing Guru Ji’s journeys.
Group 2 explored the concept of the Aatma (soul). Their model illustrated the three parts of the soul and connected it to a shabad by Guru Sahib comparing the “man” (mind) to a chariot, the “budh” (intellect) and “aatma” (soul) as the riders, and the five prans as the horses pulling it forward.
They even conducted a creative balloon experiment — using a foil ball inside a balloon to show that the body and soul are separate, and when the body perishes, the soul remains unaffected.
Through these inspiring presentations, our young students continue to connect Sikhi’s spiritual wisdom with creativity, learning, and heartfelt understanding.
