The Sacred
Calendar

The Sikh year is not a schedule. It is a spiral — the same lights, returning closer each time.

The Season

The nearest one burns brighter

Prakash purbs, shaheedi days and festivals — hold to commune with each.

Children’s Education

Kirtan for Causes currently supports 200 children through holistic education, partnering with Educate to Save. For just 90 pence a day, a child’s whole life can transform.

Family Homes

Two homes built for disadvantaged families enrolled in the scheme — shelter as the first note of any song.

Gurpreet’s Journey

Supported from age ten, Gurpreet Kaur passed the All India Engineering Entrance Exam, studied Computer Science at Guru Nanak Dev University, and now studies journalism. “After contacting Kirtan for Causes, my life completely transformed.”

Holistic Schooling

Cost-effective, quality holistic schooling with modern educational infrastructure — working independently of any individual, political or institutional influence.

Ninety pence a day. No minimum faith. All of the gratitude.

Lunar observances follow the Nanakshahi reckoning and shift each year — the page notices; the moon does not need to.

ਛੰਦ

“On these days the calendar becomes a door. Walk through it”

Placing Sikh Kirtan onto the global stage, Manika's voice is an elegant, borderless invitation to inner peace.
