My Experience about Guru Dongmar Gurdwara Col Dr Dalvinder Singh Grewal I was posted in Sikkim in 1970-1971 AD. I visited Gurdwara Chungthang in 1970 and paid my obeisance. I was told there that Guru Nanak also visited Gurudongmar and other places in Sikkim and adjoining areas. I started doing...

I confess that I am addicted to political debate. The ethos encourages good governance for the benefit of the poorest of the poor. In the exciting - but trying reality - of present day political passions and campaigns for the impending elections in the United States, I caught a sane and...

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA! WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH! Sangat ji, I went to the gurdwara for the first time last night. Not literally the first time: I've walked in to matha taykna or meditate before, but this was the first time I actually went and spent time with the sangat and sang kirtan and "did"...

Shared by Tegh Singh, Toronto, Ontario, Canada This is a rant about something that happened to me yesterday that really bothered me. I don't entirely know how to talk about it, so I'll just start from the beginning. My 9 month old daughter (Kiran) and I are in the Brampton area and decide to...

I know I am not alone in this exercise but I have often wondered about the facility with which our gurduaras multiply. I remember when my standing response, admittedly a somewhat tasteless joke, to non-Sikhs who asked if we had a Sikh place of worship nearby was in the genre of black humor...

Just days ago The New York Times carried an obituary of Yitzah Navon. He was the fifth President of Israel, serving from 1978 to 1983. Yes, he was a good Jew and one of Israel’s founding fathers. But he was 94, and death must come to all. Yitzah Navon’s biography reads like the life story of...

Across rural Punjab, Sikhs and Hindus are helping restore mosques destroyed during Partition. The Ghuman family of Sarwarpur, near Ludhiana, cannot understand what the fuss is about. Ever since Sajjan Singh Ghuman, an NRI Sikh living in England, rebuilt a mosque in his native village that was...

It was wonderful! I left feeling destressed, peaceful, and energized. If anyone is thinking about attending gurdwara and is nervous, don't be! I emailed the gurdwara and met a member there who helped me. I took my 4 year old daughter with me too and spent about 30 mins with the kids. They gave...

guys Sorry but didn't know where to post this. I'm traveling to SF and can't find a gurdwara right in the city. The only one I'm finding is 20 miles outside of the city which would need a car rental. Does anybody know of one in the city itself Thx

In a first legal victory for the Sikh community in Britain, the planning permission for the setting up of a meat plant near a gurdwara in northern Britain's Bradford city was cancelled by the Bradford City Council Wednesday. Councillor David Green, who heard the "grave concerns" of local...

Folks I didn't know where the post this really. I have a question about charity at gurdwaras. I visit multiple gurdwara often during the week since they are all in my route between jobs. As everybody does, I donate a few dollars every time I go but never get a receipt since those are usually...

Progress on the reconstruction of Australia's first gurdwara sped up this week as builders prepare for the arrival of decorative domes from India. Over the Christmas break, fibreglasser Harwinder Saggu travelled from Punjab to Woolgoolga, a town in the Australian province of New South Wales...

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has stoked a controversy after he refused to cover his barehead inside a gurudwara on Thursday evening. Nitish had gone to Bal Leela Gurudwara to inaugurate a six-storied rest house. Nitish was accorded a grand reception by the Sikh community at his visit to the gurudwara...

I hope it is okay to start new thread, I have another one from about 5 months ago but the things I would like to say are different, so I think it makes more sense to start a different discussion.Since the last time I was here, I have been doing a lot of reading and a lot of exploring. The past 5...
