In his typ­i­cal style, good­will mes­sen­ger Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja cel­e­brates his voy­age to Malaysia on the maiden di­rect flight from Am­rit­sar to Kuala Lumpur by meet­ing In­dian High Com­mis­sioner Mridul Ku­mar and pre­sent­ing a por­trait of Guru Nanak. He is on a life mis­sion to gen­er­ate in­ter­est in Guru Nanak -the great trav­eller, who founded the Sikh re­li­gion and preached hon­est labour, grat­i­tude to God and shar­ing.

Trav­el­ing on the maiden di­rect flight of Air Asia from Am­rit­sar to Kuala Lumpur, Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja from Lud­hi­ana landed up to meet In­dian High Com­mis­sioner Mridul Ku­mar and pre­sented him a spe­cially com­mis­sioned por­trait of Guru Nanak.

Ac­com­pa­nied by his son Rehras Singh, good­will mes­sen­ger Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja put in ac­tion his plans to take the mes­sage of Guru Nanak far and wide.

Speak­ing to me­dia, Kukreja said, “As the Sikh world is plan­ning to cel­e­brate the up­com­ing 550-year cel­e­bra­tions of the birth an­niver­sary of the founder of Sikhism, I was happy to cre­ate aware­ness about the up­com­ing his­tor­i­cal mile­stone in my hum­ble way in this South­east Asian coun­try which has an over­whelm­ing Sikh pres­ence.”

“Thank you for bring­ing Babaji to our High Com­mis­sion. We have over a vi­brant Sikh com­mu­nity in Malaysia. We will cel­e­brate the up­com­ing Gu­ru­parb in a grand way.  – Mridul Ku­mar, In­dian High Com­mis­sioner to Malaysia”  

Re­cently In­di­a’s Ex­ter­nal Af­fairs Min­is­ter, Sushma Swaraj had pub­licly de­clared that  the Cen­tral Gov­ern­ment will com­mem­o­rate the his­toric oc­ca­sion in all ma­jor In­dian mis­sions.

Kukreka ap­prised the me­dia that the In­dian diplo­mat Mridul Ku­mar wel­comed him and said, “Thank you for bring­ing Babaji to our High Com­mis­sion. We have over 100 Gur­d­waras and a vi­brant Sikh com­mu­nity in Malaysia with whom the High Com­mis­sion en­joys a great re­la­tion­ship. We will def­i­nitely cel­e­brate the up­com­ing Gu­ru­parb with them in a grand way.”

“I wish to fol­low the path of Guru Nanak in my en­deav­our to be a world trav­eller in mod­ern times”

Har­jin­der Singh Kukreja

Tak­ing on the man­tle of spread­ing aware­ness across the globe, city restau­ran­teur and so­cial ac­tivist Kukreja has trav­eled to many coun­tries and in the near fu­ture would be vis­it­ing Kaza­khstan, Turkey and Cuba and will visit In­dian em­bassies there and in­ter­act with lo­cal com­mu­ni­ties.

The world knows about Guru Nanak as the founder of Sikhism and a re­li­gious re­former but knows very lit­tle about his trav­els. “Guru Nanak was a great trav­eler who walked on foot many parts of the then ac­ces­si­ble world in the fif­teenth cen­tury, prop­a­gat­ing the mis­sion of love, peace and hu­man­i­tar­i­an­ism. I wish to fol­low the path of the great Guru in my en­deav­our to be a world trav­eller in mod­ern times” said Kukreja out­lin­ing his life mis­sion.
