Joining the Nagar Kirtan Honoring Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s Martyrdom

Our students had the rare and deeply meaningful opportunity to join a Nagar Kirtan held in remembrance of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s Shaheedi, a powerful tribute to the Guru’s courage, sacrifice, and unwavering stand for the freedom of all people.

This remarkable Nagar Kirtan began in Assam and is traveling all the way to Anandpur Sahib, gathering sangats from across India in devotion and unity. We were honored to join the procession during its stop at Chheharta Sahib Gurdwara, where traditional weapons were housed for part of the journey before continuing onward. Their presence served as a powerful reminder of the Guru’s fearless spirit and his protection of those facing injustice.

Our students participated wholeheartedly—walking in the procession, performing Gatka, and sharing their Chardi Kala spirit with the sangat. The sound of Gurbani, the energy of the sangat, and the spirit of service created a moving experience that brought Sikh history to life in a profound way.

This was more than an event—it was a living connection to the legacy of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, and a moment of gratitude for our students to stand with the sangat in remembrance, strength, and unity.

~We are truly thankful to have been part of this sacred and historic journey.~

One of the most electrifying moments of the entire competition arrived during the 3-Point shootout skill showcase, when Emanjot Singh stunned everyone by sinking eight 3-pointers in one minute.

Blue House Victory: A Very Close Game

Moving into the full-court games, Blue House claimed first place in both the Grade 5–8 and Grade 9–11 matchups, showcasing strong coordination on both ends of the court. The senior game ended in dramatic fashion, with Blue House narrowly defeating White House 25–24 after thirty minutes of intense, fast-paced action.

Overall, the competition was filled with spirited play, memorable moments, and outstanding contributions from students across all divisions, making it a truly exciting event for everyone involved.
