Snatam Kaur Khalsa – New Hampshire, U.S.A.
“I often ask myself that question, if Guru Nanak was here, if Guru Gobind Singh were here, what would they be saying? What would they be teaching us? And I just feel like they would be saying look at the earth and this environment and please start taking care of her. I truly believe in the power of Gurbani Kirtan to shift our consciousness and bring us back into connection again with the earth.”

Saraswati Kaur Khalsa – New Mexico, U.S.A.
“It takes tremendous courage to engage with this. You can either be paralyzed by the fear or fight it. This is an emergency. And if we act like it’s an emergency, we change our routine – we go out when we don’t feel like it, we speak out when it’s uncomfortable, we speak out in public even when it makes us cry. All of those things are necessary.”
