The Network of Sikh Organisations is a loose linking of gurdwaras and other Sikh bodies to facilitate the development of common approaches to spiritual and secular life. It is highly appropriate that its formation should have come about in a year marking the 400th anniversary of the birth of Guru Hargobind who laid particular stress on the need to combine active concern for social improvement with a spiritual way of life. The Network also assists in developing a co-ordinated approach to making young Sikhs aware of the richness of their heritage, promoting interfaith dialogue and an understanding of the Sikh way of life in the wider community.
