Dr. Gurdas Singh speaking about Sikhi to his fellow travelers

American Sikh Council (ASC) representative and board member Dr. Gurdas Singh while vacationing in South America got an opportunity to speak to his fellow travelers about his heritage on March 2, 2025.

Dr. Gurdas Singh, his wife Jagjit Kaur and other travelers visited various places in Chile and Peru such as Machu Picchu, Cusco, Santiago, Rapanui, etc. While on an evening break, Dr. Gurdas Singh gave a talk on the Sikh religion to twelve of his companions at an open pavilion after completing their hike up and down to Machu Picchu. He distributed brochures on the Sikh Religion, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, etc., to everyone. It was very well received and many of them asked questions while searching for more information about Sikhi on google.

Dr. Gurdas Singh never misses an opportunity to inform others about his faith, as this helps in educating and creating awareness to all kinds of people by reducing misconceptions and strengthening friendships.

He has been traveling the world, once or twice every year for over three decades and never misses an opportunity to talk about his religious heritage with his fellow travelers, through the Viking tours or Road Scholars tours. The Road Scholar tours have started to include a presentation by Dr. Gurdas Singh as a regular feature. Thanks to his perseverance, the message of Sikhi continues to touch the world in every corner.

Dr. Gurdas Singh has served as the former President of ASC while steering the organization in the right direction. The American Sikh Council (ASC) thanks him for continuing to lead by example and his exemplary sewa.
