Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa | Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/gurunanakgurdwara-singhsabha Guru Nanak Gurdwara Singh Sabha is the oldest Gurdwara Sahib in Preston, Lancashire, UK. Established in 1966, the Gurdwara Sahib has been a special place of learning and worship for Sikhs community and alike.

Over the past decade the demands from the building have grown however, the community has been restricted due to costs of the project and the state of the buil…

In December, I'm going to India to take Pahul at Anandpur Sahib (with Maharaj's kripa). I had some questions on Kirpan laws - last post on this was years ago so has anything changed? 1) Can I bring back a full size shastar from Chandigarh Airport to the UK? 2) Can I carry this in India? I see Nihangs carrying full swords in Punjab but is this legal in cities like Chandigarh? 3) Can I take this Kirpan to Darbar Sahib? I remember reading an Article saying that swords were banned there or something? Please tell me this isn't true Bhul Chuk Maaf

In the uk we have Ramgharia gurdwaras, in some places ther are called Ramgharia sabha! However, I think most gurdwaras and even sikhs calling themselves "Ramgharia" are scamming us as they have weak or no connections to Ramgharia misl, and are just using the fact that they are tarkhans they can use the Ramgharia term because Jassa Singh Ramgharia was from tarkhan background. Please prove me wrong! Also, I have been observing gurdwaras since I was young. I remember when I was a child in the 80s and 90s, Singh Sabha gurdwaras still allowed shoes and langar was eaten on tables, in the times when the adults used to work all the time, doing double shifts etc. …

With Maharaj's kripa, I have signed up at the local Gurdwara Sahib and will be taking Amrit on Vaisakhi. To all the Singhs who have taken Pahul, is a Bana Chola needed or is long navy kurta top without Pajama also fine? Also which colour Bana Chola did Maharaj and the original Panj Pyaare wear in 1699 Vaisakhi? Most pictures show either Kesari or Navy blue. I know the point is the Amrit itself and not what colour they wore but it'd be nice to know. (PS: I'm taking Amrit from the normal SGPC Sikh Rehat Maryada, not Damdami Taksal or Nihang Rehat)

I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

I used to live in east london about 10 years ago. In gants hill, Ilford, seven kings areas. It was actually very nice during that time. Nice area to live in and still is in certain parts. Mostly Sikh/Hindu sri lankans in the area back then. Having visited again after so many years. Some areas feel like down town islamabad. Especialy ilford lane. people walking around in full islamic robes. But thats probably down to ramadam month. But none the less. Mostly muslim foods shops from top to bottom. While the Sikh population has declined. Only ones left are the newly arrived fresh off the bananna boat ( in search of a better phrase) Whats happening down there? Looks…

Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past

Reason behind it is. You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
