I am Director of Sikh Sanjog and Punjabi Junction Social Enterprise Project

My strength comes from my faith and the teachings of Sikhism which promotes the equality of women in all walks of life. The quote below is from the Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Scriptures)

ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ ॥

Dear God, grant my request so that I may never deviate from doing good deeds. ਨ ਡਰੋਂ ਅਰਿ ਸੋ ਜਬ ਜਾਇ ਲਰੋਂ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੀਤ ਕਰੋਂ ॥

That, I shall have no fear of the enemy when I go into battle and with determination I will be victorious. ਅਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਂ ਆਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਕੌ ਇਹ ਲਾਲਚ ਹਉ ਗੁਨ ਤਉ ਉਚਰੋਂ ॥

That, I may teach my mind to only sing your praises. ਜਬ ਆਵ ਕੀ ਅਉਧ ਨਿਦਾਨ ਬਨੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਰਨ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਜੂਝ ॥੨੩੧॥ ਮਰੋਂ

And when the time comes, I should die fighting heroically on the field of battle ||231||

In Sikhism we celebrate the diversity of society and I strive to uphold and reflect that diversity within my work.
