2019 marks the 550th birth anniversary of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev. He was the one who founded Sikhism and one of the first lessons he propagated was of universal humanism. According to his philosophy, all humans should be treated equally without taking into account their position in the society. It is a philosophy the Sikhs follow till date.

As a reminder of this very philosophy, six bikers from Vancouver - who are a part of the Sikh Motorcycle Club Canada - have decided to go for a very special world tour.

In an attempt to spread Guru Nanak’s message of humanism and to raise funds for Khalsa Aid International - so that the organisation can continue to help people all over the world - the six bikers will be riding their bikes from UK to wait for it...Amritsar!

According to the plan, the tour will take a total of 45 days to complete. The bikers will be crossing multiple cities and countries before entering Turkey and then eventually making their way to Nankana Sahib which is Guru Nanak Dev’s birthplace in Pakistan. The tour will culminate at Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar.

We hope their message reaches every single person!
