In Honour of my Father

I bow to the feet of my father in gratitude, for bestowing upon me the privilege of being his son.

In honour of my beloved father, I dedicate my life anew to Sarbat da Bhala (‘the wellbeing of humanity’). This drishti, a foundational tenet of Sikhi & Sanatan Dharma as a whole, was instilled in me by my father – and mother – since childhood.

My father may not be with us in the physical realm any longer, but he remains my devta and guiding light. I will work hard to amplify his dreams of seva, to give life to his genius, and to live up to the standards of excellence and swa-Dharma that he always expected of me.

The body shall turn to dust, and the atma shall fly away.

My father wanted me to positively impact the lives of millions of people, devoid of ego, personal gain or self-indulgence. That sankalp is second nature to me, precisely because of the upbringing of my beautiful parents, and remains the primary goal of my life.  

I will continue my father’s legacy of relentless, selfless seva, just as he would – with decorum, genuine compassion for all, and an unwavering, fearless affiliation to satya.
