Guru Ka Langar: The Sikh Ethos of Sharing Hospitality |
Guru Ka Langar (commonly referred to as Langar) was started by the first Sikh Guru, Siri Guru Nanak Sahib, in 15th-century Punjab, South Asia. It represents the principle of equality among all people regardless of religion, caste, color, creed, age, gender, or social status. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of Langar expresses the Sikh ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness, and the oneness of humankind.
