Welcome!

Please peruse this site to learn a little more about Sikhi, and bookmark it so you can visit again later as we continue to add more exciting content and photographs.

Our goal is to bring the message of Guru Nanak’s deeply compassionate teachings to the world in an entertaining, enjoyable and professional manner.

Our intended audiences are:

  1. Non-Sikhs who are curious about the dynamic, highly prosperous, quietly philanthropic, turban wearing individuals they run into in their everyday lives, be it in business, technology, farming, or art fields.

  2. The children and grandchildren of Sikhs who came to the West to establish new lives. Second and third generations immigrants tend to start drifting away from their home cultures. But some of these children are genuinely curious about their heritage and need a place where they can find knowledge offered in a way they can easily comprehend.

  3. Older Sikhs who have spent their lives working hard building lives in the West, but have limited their religious life to visiting a Gurdwara a few times a year, on Gurpurbs and Baisakhi. On this site they can find again the teachings of Guru Nanak and the other Gurus.

We have a lot more content planned for this site. Sikh culture is known for its preference of action over talk. So instead of crowing about plans, we will continue to quietly build behind the scenes as funds become available.

If you like the quality of what we are building, and you have the means to help, please consider donating or buying art from our store. More than one shoulder behind the plow makes the tilling easier.

Creative Director: Jasper Johal

Guru Nanak Temple has been founded by Jasper Johal and his friends as a place where people from around the world can come and learn about the amazingly modern and egalitarian religion called Sikhism.

Jasper Johal grew up in a Sikh family in Central India. He moved to the United States as a teenager and became a professional photographer.

Throughout his long career he has proudly shared stories about his Sikh heritage, and photographs from his travels to sacred places in India, with his colleagues and friends.

Having spent over three decades as a working professional in marketing and communication, Jasper Johal felt it was time to use his years of experience to create an online destination that teaches the world about Sikhi in a fun and visually engaging way.
