Roar 4 Change launches Bhai Gurdas Ji Awards to connect people with the teaching for positive living. Bhai Gurdas is considered the first interpreter of Gurbani. His writings are considered key to understanding the Sikh holy scriptures and path for us for positive living. He wrote 40 vars (ballads) and 556 kabits (both forms of Punjabi poetry).
Mr. Baljit Singh, Roar 4 Change Program Director said, “People around the world are going through tough state of mental health. This is our humble attempt to connect people with positive living. These writing and interpretation of Bhai Gurdas Ji are available on YouTube in English and various other languages. Bhai Gurdas Ji’s writings are considered the best specimens of Sikh literature and philosophy. He also was blessed to scribe the Guru Granth Sahib or Adi Granth, the holiest Sikh scripture that was compiled by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth Sikh Guru, in 1604. We believe our humble attempt will give insights to many for positive living.”
How to enter for the award:
Bhai Gurdas Ji has written 40 Varan. Each of the 40 chapters of “Varan Bhai Gurdas” consists of a differing number of Pauris (sections, paragraphs). Pick any one of the 40 Varan or any section and write what that means to you and how you are implementing in your life for positive living.
