In a profound display of devotion and reverence, the Hong Kong Sikh organization Curdivara made global headlines by booking the entire business class section of a commercial flight to respectfully transport the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the holy scripture of Sikhism.
The group ensured that the sacred scripture, which Sikhs regard as a living Guru, was carried with the highest dignity during its journey to India. By securing the whole business class cabin, they maintained an environment of purity, peace, and uninterrupted respect, free from distractions or any compromise in sanctity.
Photos and videos shared online showed Sikh volunteers preparing the space with extreme care, placing the Guru Granth Sahib Ji on a clean, cushioned seat draped in white cloth. The atmosphere was solemn, respectful, and spiritually uplifting throughout the journey.
This act has received widespread praise from the global Sikh community and beyond, lauding the group’s commitment to preserving religious values and traditions in the modern world. It also serves as a reminder of how faith and innovation can coexist, with modern travel accommodating ancient traditions.
The Curdivara group’s efforts underscore the Sikh principle of Seva (selfless service) and deep reverence for the Guru Granth Sahib Ji — not merely as scripture, but as a living spiritual guide.
