Welcome to the Sikh Society homepage!
What's this all about?
The word 'Sikh' means 'Learner', a seeker of truth. Sikhism is recognised as being the 5th largest religion in the World. More importantly, it is a way of life that helps people on their individual journey through life.
What’s the point?
Providing a common ground for Sikhs across campus
We feel that it is important that all students feel comfortable at university and having something common around is always useful, especially in those first few weeks. The Sikh Society would provide anyone that comes to Loughborough with an initial place to meet other Sikhs (and non Sikhs that are in the Sikh Society). It all goes towards making the university feel more like home.
Performing Seva (Selfless Service)
This would mean that the Sikh Society would aim to be actively involved in charitable events as well as organising its own.
Developing the knowledge and practice of the spiritual side of life
We aim to provide services to all those that wish, which will help a person to develop spiritually. One way we will help do this is through Kundalini Yoga classes (Yoga of Awareness) for everyone.
Encouraging Social Cohesion
Our objective is to enable people from all walks of life to understand each other. For this reason we aim to help in the education about various cultures and faiths. We would achieve this through literature, joint events as well as interesting discussions.
Being Fun and Innovative
We do not want to be a society that just sits in the background and keeps to itself. As well as providing fun events for our members, we also want to have a noticeable, positive, effect on Loughborough.
