Nanak Naam was honoured with the Nelson Mandela Leadership Award 2024
We are honoured to share that Nanak Naam has been awarded the Nelson Mandela Leadership Award 2024, in recognition of our work in spreading Guru Nanak’s wisdom and advancing spiritual education globally.
As part of this recognition, our Founder and CEO Satpal Singh was invited to speak at the prestigious University of Oxford, delivering a heartfelt address on the importance of spirituality in our modern world.
“It was only by the age of 20, when I was introduced to spiritual wisdom, did I realise what I was longing for my entire life, which was to feel complete and whole within myself. Every single person that I’ve met, has that same yearning. Whichever way we go about doing that, we’re all looking to feeling whole again, that’s ultimately what spirituality is. This was my motivation for spreading spiritual education to the masses.”
— Satpal Singh, Oxford University, 2024
This moment marked a significant milestone in our journey, and the award serves as a powerful acknowledgement of the positive transformation we’ve witnessed through our work. Over the years, countless individuals have shared their stories of personal growth and healing through the teachings made accessible by Nanak Naam.
The Nelson Mandela Leadership Award celebrates those who demonstrate exceptional leadership in uplifting humanity. To receive it is both humbling and inspiring, fueling our continued commitment to help people cultivate inner peace, live with intention, and contribute to a more compassionate world.
We are grateful for this recognition and for everyone who walks this path with us.
