Celebrating Sikhs In Australia
Sikhism is a major world religion that traces its origins back to the 15th century in what is known today as Punjab.
Sikhism was started as social revolution by first teacher, Guru Nanak, who laid the foundation for a distinct and unique monotheistic faith based on the principles of equality and social justice.
Sikh Heritage Month is an opportunity to facilitate better understanding of the Sikh culture and its diversity among wider Australian community through the means of celebrating its major festivals. It will seek support and will work in conjunction with local community & Australian governments as well as other cultural and social organizations.
Sikh Heritage Month aims to celebrate the contributions and aspirations of all Australian Sikhs and develop a greater understanding and appreciation for a rich, unique and diverse heritage.
