Langar - A Resolution To Poverty?

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguroo Ji Ki Phateh!!

Sadh Sangat ji, i was just reading an article on SikhSangat News, and it was about langar. A group of students, from what I could tell, the writer of the article was Caucasian. Anyway, they were in india looking at the various aspects of food in india, and this is the authors closing paragraph...

"The Gurudwara Bangla Sahib langar has been feeding Delhi residents since 1935. Day in and day out a factory of human hands churns out what one member of our group observed as a day's peace of mind for hungry members of the community. "If you get your day's meal," he said, "you can relax. You can survive." It's not a matter of survival for everyone who eats there -- in fact, most people with whom we shared lunch looked happy and healthy. But it's there for anyone who needs it, and in a city of 13 million (and rapidly growing), an open, organized, clean, reliable, and free food source couldn't be more valuable. It's a great testament to the stability of a well-organized grassroots effort. While countless hours pass in board rooms and over policy debates to establish government-subsidized and NGO programs for feeding the hungry, a crew of volunteers at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib feeds thousands upon thousands of their neighbors with no intervention, no fuss, and no strings attached. "

Dhan Dhan Vaheguroo, Dhan Dhan Vaheguroo, Dhan Dhan Vaheguroo!!

Maharaj has thought of every aspect, something so simple like langar, can solve so many problems in some regions of the world...are we going to be brave enough to step up to the task?

Sorry if i've offended anyone, or wasted anyones time...
