Hati

[HĂ´tee] / derived from Hindi word hathi meaning elephant

Hati is the youngest member of the Caravan. He comes from a region in the northwest of India called Punjab. Though he is small, Hati has a very big imagination. He likes to imagine that he is a great missionary like the famous William Carey, who came to India a long time ago to tell people the Good News that Jesus Christ had been sent by God to offer forgiveness from sin.

 

Sikhism

Like many other main religions in South Asia, Sikhs believe in karma and reincarnation (that every good and bad thing we do influences how we will be reborn). They teach that, only when a person’s karma (good and bad deeds) is balanced, can that person avoid being reborn and become a part of god.
