Last week, we went to the gurdwara to celebrate the first Guru, Guru Nanak’s, birthday. The gurdwara was lit up with bright lights, and we listened to hymns while everyone smiled and felt happy.

I also got to do seva! Seva means helping without expecting anything back. Guru Nanak taught us to be kind and help everyone. My seva job was helping with the dishes after Langar. Langar is the free meal that everyone eats together, no matter who they are. I washed the dishes and felt proud.

I’m glad I got to celebrate Guru Nanak’s birthday and do seva.
