Baba Nanak Scholarship for Human Rights Education
Project Story
Introduction:
Baba Nanak was a great philosopher, teacher and humanist of 15th century. He travelled a lot to educate people through his thoughts and writings about humanism, justice, love for God, respect for women, love for nature, natural resources and so on. He condemned caste and class system and supported socialism and equality of all human beings irrespective of their caste, color, race, religion or beliefs. Here are a few quotes of Baba Nanak that reflect on his philosophy:
- “Kirt Karo, Naam Japo, Vand Chhako” (Theme- humanism)
This means that all humans should meditate on God, earn through honest means and share their food, wealth etc. with others. - “So kyon Manda Aakhiye Jit Jamme Rajan” (Theme- Gender equality)
This means why to call women inferior? From her, the kings are born. - “Pavan guru paani pita, maata dhart mahat” (Theme- Love for Nature/Environment)
Natural resources are praised by comparing them with our most important human relationships. This means Air is our teacher, Water our father, and the Great Earth our mother. - Tithai kẖand mandal varbẖand. Je ko kathai ṯa anṯ na anṯ.Tithai loa loa akar. Jiv jiv hukam ṯivai ṯiv kar. vekẖai vigsai kar vicẖar. Nanak katha karṛa sar. (Theme- Cosmos/The Universe)
This means that there are planets, solar systems and galaxies. If one speaks of them, there is no limit, no end. There are worlds upon worlds of His Creation. As He commands, so they exist. He watches over all, and contemplating the creation, He rejoices. O Nanak, to describe this is as hard as steel!
Purpose:
Punjabi community in Canada is making efforts to establish Baba Nanak scholarship in Department of Human Rights, University of Manitoba. The purpose of the scholarship is to honour the philosophy of Baba Nanak- the founder of Sikhism. The award would be offered to the most suitable candidate studying in a graduate program in the department of Human Rights at University of Manitoba as per selection criteria. In addition to the academic merit of the applicant the selection criteria will also consider volunteer work done for humanity. The award will be open to the candidates irrespective of their culture, race, religion, color or nationality.
Donations:
Our initial target was to raise $ 25,000 in five years however we were able to hit this target in just seven weeks in December 2018. We raised another $11,000 dollars through second fundraiser organized by the Punjabi community members in Winnipeg in December 2019. Donations are still on for next five years to reach the maximum we can. As the fund grows we can award Baba Nanak Scholarship to more students who would learn about Baba Nanak’s philosophy and excel in the field of Human Rights. Donors can donate any amount based on their capacity and interest for this cause. We invite donors from all parts of the world who support Baba Nanak’s philosophy and want to promote harmony, love, equality, brotherhood, environmental sustainability, freedom of speech, freedom of faith and human values.
