Sikh Sakhis · Origins & Gurus · Guru Amar Das Ji
Pehle Pangat, Pichhe Sangat
The Guru institutionalized the 'Langar' (community kitchen) to break the rigid caste system. He made it a law that no one could see him until they first sat on the floor and ate a meal with everyone else. This ensured that a king and a beggar were treated as equals before entering the presence of the Divine.
