A year after six worshippers were shot down by a white supremacist in a rampage at the Oak Creek Gurdwara in Wisconsin, the Sikh community there will observe the first anniversary of the tragic event in spirits of Chardi Kala.

"In the spirit 'of Chardi Kla' (state of High Spirits) instilled into us by our Gurus the community is bouncing back and remembering our dear lost ones," the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin said on its website yesterday.

It announced a series of events -- prayers --beginning Friday in honor of those who lost their lives when a white supremacist went on a shooting rampage a year ago on August 5, last year.
