In today's troubled society, where anarchy is spreading on a large scale, there is a
need to adopt Gurbani's philosophy of 'community' in one's life and to propagate it in the
entire society so that people who are not familiar with this philosophy also follow it and can
be benefitted from by restoring social peace, and the society can also develop the welfare of
the common people and propagate it in the entire society .The Guru Sahibs also had the same
aim and the entire Sikh history was created under this aim said by Eminent thinker Dr.
