Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

There is going to be a huge smagam this year at the Gurmat Center in Abbotsford on October 31st, 2005 beginning at 5:00 pm. This Smagam is dedicated to the Gursikhs who sacrificed their lives for the Sikh faith.

As you already know, October 31st 1984 is the day when Bhai Satwant Singh & Bhai Beant Singh decided to bring justice to those responsible for attacking Sri Harimander Sahib in June of 1984. In their memory, this Smagam will be held every year to bring awareness to the community about what exactly happened in June of 1984, and what followed in the monthes/years to come.

The night will be full of many fun and exciting activities for young and old alike. There will be a Kirtan and Kavishree program (all done by youth) , followed by a documentary video about what happened in 1984. After this, in the gym there will be a live skit performed with a Sikhi message, followed by a Gatka demonstration. There is also going to be many draws and prizes given out, jumping castle, giant slide, popcorn, cotton candy, and also a Bana competition, where youth are encouraged to dress up in full Guru Ji's Bana (Chola, Dumalla, Shastars etc...) The night will end with pizza, candy, and a professional fireworks display.

This is an open invitation for ALL to please come out to this event. It is important for the youth to have awareness of the sacrifices that people have made for their faith. It will be a night full of fun and excitment for all ages, and also an opportunity to learn about our history at the same time. Hope to see everyone there!!!
