Week 1 · Hello, Sikhi · Day 1

One Creator — Ik Onkar

Today we meet the very first idea in Sikhi — Ik Onkar, One Creator. Everything you see comes from the same One. Start here and the rest of the summer makes sense.

Today's idea

Sikhi begins with one idea: there is One Creator in everyone and everything.

Pick two or three — there's no wrong way to do a day.

Ik Onkar Sat Naam Kartaa Purakh

“There is One Creator. Truth is the Name. The Maker of all.”

— Guru Nanak Dev Ji · Ang 1
Talk together

Ask: "If one light is in everything, how should we treat people and animals?"

Younger kids: just say "Ik Onkar" together. Older kids: talk about what "one family" means.
