Global Day of Seva – Feeding the World, One Langar at a Time

January 23rd (participate any day in January/February)
A global day of compassion, service, and upliftment

Purpose

The Global Day of Seva is a worldwide invitation to put our spiritual values into action through selfless service (seva). On this day, individuals, families, gurdwaras, and communities come together to feed as many people as possible, uplift those in need and foster compassionate, equitable local connections. This is our second global day of seva. Our purpose is to use our values and to choose seva projects that can impact as many people as possible around the world. 

Why Langar Matters

Langar is the living expression of seva.

Rooted in the Sikh tradition, langar is a free community meal offered to all people, regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. Everyone is welcomed as an equal.

Langar represents:

• Equality that honors every human being

• Compassion that feeds both body and spirit

• Community created through sharing food and being present

• Spiritual principles lived through service

Langar is shared food that expresses equality, service, and care
