Delhi NGO pitches in to save ancient gurdwara

CHANDIGARH: A short distance from the 'Ram janmsthan' in Ayodhya on the banks of the river Saryu lies forgotten gurdwara, housing the holy sandals of Guru Tegh Bahadur and the holy weapons of Guru Gobind Singh and his greatest faithful Banda Bahadur, which is under imminent threat of destruction by the vagaries of the river.

For the Brahmkund gurdwara, which gets its name from an ancient temple of Lord Brahma adjacent to it, it may just be a matter of one more Monsoon before it is consumed by the river unless urgent remedial measures are taken to protect it.

Azad Hind Foundation, a Delhi-based voluntary organisation, has taken upon itself the task of building a retaining wall to hold back the might of the river and save the gurdwara and temple from destruction.

President of the foundation Karttik Chopra on a recent visit to Punjab held discussions with some Sikh religious organisations, including the Sant Samaj, in an effort to drum up support for the cause.

Chopra says, "We cannot allow the river to engulf the gurdwara building and wash away the relics and the ancient hand written texts of the Guru Granth Sahib that are kept in the gurdwara. We are basically looking for public support to organise a 'kar seva' for building the retaining wall to save the gurdwara and the ancient temple, which houses a rare four-faced statue of Lord Brahma."

Instead of meeting Sant Samaj why not this NGO consult or talk to SGPC or Akal Takhat Sahib for the earliest actions require to be taken.

In Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Delhi we got Sant Baba Harbans Singh Jee, Kar Seva walley who is organizing construction of Gurudwards all over the India so this NGO can contact here too.

Sant Samaj ppls.. : All they are good at is destroying all old antique gurughars and replacing it with new marbles etc.. Yeah that's good.. but where's the history?? Jews can turn the streeets of Jerusalem into gold if they want too, but they don't.. instead they preserve the historical religious places..
