Simultaneous Blood Donation Drive and Langar

Posted on: August 06, 2019 | Back | Print

Join us as we commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of Sikhism. The Embassy of India, Manila in collaboration with the Philippine Red Cross and the local Sikh Temples (Gurudwaras) of Manila, San Pablo, Biñan, Batangas, Marikina, Tarlac, Cauayan, Isabela, Angeles, Baguio, and Cebu will be hosting a Simultaneous Blood Drive and Langar in the Philippines.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji began the concept of Langar and Seva. The main idea behind the concept of Langar is community dining, equality amongst people, and the feeling of oneness and sharing. The Embassy would like to commemorate Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s life and teachings by raising awareness and encouraging people to donate blood to save lives.
