Guru ka Langar as Parsad Embracing "Sarve Dharm Sambhaw"

The Food which is offered to Hindu deity is known as Parsad. This food after offering to deity is distributed among devotees as offering of God. There are few rules in India for preparing the food as Parsad. The whole research paper revolves around the idea behind the langar, as per the Sikh faith, is for people of all castes and religions to eat together before visiting the Guru1 Every human being is equal. ‘The concept of equality is visible everywhere, from the place where people stay around the Gurudwara complex to the ‘langar’ (a concept of free dining for every one). Skin color fades in front of goodness, and religion does not matter in the sea of humanity here 2. In the Gurudwara it is carrying out the sewa for the overall welfare of people--irrespective of religion, caste, colour, gender or creed. Not only we citizens of India believe this system of serving people but also Canadian president3 Trudeau and his family members first went to to the "Langar Hall", where thousands of devotees partake langar (community food) and also do "sewa" (voluntary service). The Golden Temple's Langar Hall is the biggest community kitchen in the world. Langar is the main meal which is served all afternoon to every visitor, irrespective of their social standing or religious affiliation. In the earlier time Guru Nanak Dev Ji wanted to stress the idea that everyone is equal. Everyone shares the tasks of preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning. He said that4 this community kitchen is meant for providing food to all devotees, pilgrims and visitors. It is a symbol of equality, fraternity and brotherhood. It is here that the high and the low, the rich and the poor, the learned and the illiterate, the kings and the paupers, all share the same food sitting together in one row5.
