It was a packed event with 8 speakers, youth presenters, kirtan and contemplation. Amazingly, all of this took place in one day. The event was sponsored by Chardi Kalaa Foundation, Sikh Gurdwara San Jose and SikhNet in celebration of the Prakash Diwas of Siri Guru Granth Sahib at Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar in 1604.
The theme of the conference, which took place in San Jose California was "Applying the timeless, universal message of SGGS - across centuries, cultures, religions and continents - in today's world"
