“I wanted to share just how much power Gurbani has and how Gurbani has helped me in all places”. I had a big interest in studying but never used have the required finances to pay for my educational costs. I never used have the money to even buy a book. I remember once, I picked Guava fruits from my home trees and sold them in my class to purchase a history book for 150 Rupees. After studying +2, I would wonder how I would ever study further if I barely managed to buy a book. I was soon devastated after being forced to quit education. By managing to gather cash from different sources such as my auntie or from the sowing I was forced to take up after leaving college, I managed to register for a computer engineering course. Furthermore, I again struggled to pay for the tuition costs. However, whilst studying, Guru Nanak Multiversity’s team came to my college who preached the importance of reading Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I started a ‘Sehaj Paat’ under their influence and started receiving financial support from the Multiversity to continue studying a web designing course. After starting ‘Sehaj Paath’, my brother decided to keep his Kes, my sister has also started a ‘Sehaj Paath’. The biggest thing was when I came home wearing a Kirpan with a turban on my head. My father, who did not want me to study, called me ‘Puttar’. From my struggles, I have learnt how Vaheguroo helps us all and I wish just like I have been helped, other children who want to study, also receive help.

After their father’s death, Jagdeep Singh and his two younger sisters were left fatherless at infancy. Struggling to pay for their living costs with an annual household income of 30,000 Rupees (£360 a year!), Jagdeep Singh did not want such poverty to ruin his chances of achieving his career objective of being an AIS officer. However, after receiving help through the ‘Educate Punjab Project’, he commented:
“This Multiversity is currently paying for all my study costs and where I thank them, I also promise that in the future I will be a just, GurSikh officer. I will keep my nation’s head high and in the same way I have been helped, I will help needy children”.

“As far back as I can remember, my family has been facing difficulties through poverty.5 years ago a car accident caused severe injuries to my father and left him bed-bound with two broken legs. This only brought more financial struggle for us. I was forced to leave my studies, but I had faith in Vaheguroo. Under the influence of Guru Nanak Multiversity, my sister advised me to start a ‘Sehaj Paath’ of Guru Granth Sahib Ji which has transformed my life ever since. I have re-started my studies through this Multiversity to fulfil my dreams and I want to study higher education”.

“It had become very difficult for me to continue studying after my father’s death due to a lack of finances. However, through ‘Educate Punjab Project’, I am receiving sufficient funds to continue my education and have passed my 11th year for which, I am very thankful. Like I have been doing under this Multiversity’s influence, I will continue to read Guru Granth Sahib Ji and will advise others to do the same. When I am older, I will donate portions of my earnings to help poor, needy GurSikh students”.

“With the help of this Multiversity and Vahiguroo’s grace, I have completed my +1 Medical course. I just want to thank all those sponsors who are helping children like us to make our dreams come true. I cannot thank you in words”.
