“Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor my guest Chaplain, Bhai Mohan Singh. Mohan Singh was the head granthi, or the head priest, at a Gurdwara in Yakima, Washington, and now travels the Nation spreading the teachings of Sikhism. Sikhism is the world's fifth largest religion with nearly 30 million followers worldwide, and roughly 1 million of those are located within the United States of America. It was founded by Guru Nanak in west Punjab in 1469 and is based on three cardinal principles: Meditate on God, earn a living by honest means, and share with the less fortunate. Mohan Singh is a dedicated preacher with an extensive educational background in Sikhism, with experience in both teaching and leading religious services. His career spans over two decades of service in both India and the United States, and we are very fortunate to have him here today with us to lead the opening prayer and to represent the good people of central Washington. ____________________”
