Vaheguru jee ka khalsa, Vaheguru jee kee fateh, We are delighted to announce numerous Gurdwara's from the East Midlands have come together to form 'East Midlands Council of Gurwaras', who are now organizing a major national event to commemorate 300 years of Sri Guru Granth sahib Ji (eternal Guru of the Khalsa Panth). Hosted as an open air national event it is envisaged to receive over 25,000 attendees throughout the day. [b]October 2008[/b] will mark 300 years since our tenth Guru, Sri Gobind Singh Ji bestowed the Guruship to our Eternal Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. For such a big event in Sikh History, it was decided that it should celebrated on a much bigger scale than previously done and hence the Gurdwaras of Nottingham, Leicester & Derby have come together to allow the Sangat to celebrate this occasion together with our brothers & sisters from all over the UK.
