The school decided to celebrate Guru Nank's birthday on Wednesday, the day before Guru Purab. Jasmeet and Anjana did the Paath and sang a Shabad and went to Red group and sang it. The Red group followed them and we went to the Blue group. Then both the groups followed and went to the Green group. After which the whole group went and sat under the Bargad tree. Jasmeet told them the Sacha Souda story. They had also brought Prashaad.
Since it was a half-day for Lakshmi and Rian was coming home, I asked Jasmeet if we could go to Bangla Sahib. Jasmeet, Arav and Ruhan went with us. It was good to go with Jasmeet because she explained things to kids. She showed us where the Guru Granth Sahib goes to bed at night. We had Kada Prashad at least five times. The walk around the Sarovar was most enjoyable. We probably met every fish in the pond.
Late in evening after dinner I searched for a Shabad on Youtube that she could listen to -- Guru Nanak Tuhi Nirankar. Then I asked her if she wanted to draw Guru Nanak. We opened a site with sketches and she tried to draw Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singhji. Then she saw Sikh warriors on horses on the same page. Then decided to draw a horse with a bridle. Then when reminded that she had to make card for Arav's birthday she converted that horse. Arav and Ruhan were sitting on the Horse and jumping through a loop of fire. She then made another drawing where they had won the world cup for horse jumping. They were standing in the first place on the podium, their horse was standing to the right of the podium and Krishna, their dad was standing to the left and watching. As an afterthought she added herself to the picture. The horse which had a long body now had three riders. All three of them were holding up a cup.
Two days later
The school took them all on Friday to the Gurudwara and also told them Gurunanak stories from a book that Sukanya, Samved's mother had sent.
In the evening, Anand came home after school. Lakshmi set up a stage with blocks. Put the Gurunanak Story book (I had borrowed it from school) on it like the Guru Granth Sahib had been kept. She tied a handkerchief to a stick and was waving it over the book and humming in a Shabad like tune. Both she and Anand had tied scarves around their head.
A few says later
She remembered that Jasmeet had told her that there were ten sikh gurus when the school had taken them. In the Gurunanak storybook that we borrowed from Sukanya, we learnt that Bhai Laihna became the next guru Angad. She then wanted to know the names of all the other Gurus. I learnt a lot in the bargain. What each Guru had done, how was the Guru Granth Sahib compiled and how Guru Gobind made the Granth Sahib the next guru.
