Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Saadh Sangat ji it is with great pleasure we are able to announce that Bhai Surjit Singh Ji has returned to the UK after an absence of 6 months. Bhai Sahib ji will be holding divaan at Guru Nanak Gurdwara every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is our benthi that all sangat take benefit of Bhai Sahibs stay and attend these divaans as much as possible. There will be more programs added to these weekly divaans.

We have added the audio from 16th August 2010, when divaan was held to mark Sangraand. Bhai Sahib throughout this divaan talks about the importance of Naam, and how we can become one with Vaheguru. Bhai Sahib also tells short saakhis about Bhagat Kabir, and Baba Farid. There is also vichaar on the message contained in the baarah maha da paath for the month of Bhaadon.

CD’S of this divaan are available from the Gurdwara library to purchase

The shabad recited during the divaan which is written by Guru Arjan Dev Ji  is also attached below:

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Saadh Sangat Ji, due to huge demand, from this Sunday onwards (and every Sunday thereafter) there will be a Sikhi discussion/workshop (mostly in English but not aimed at young children) in the Darbar Sahib at GNG after the Sunday Divan – usually around 1pm.

The session will start with a discussion on the Hukamnama and then the floor will be open for a Q&A discussion.

This is an ideal opportunity to share & learn Sikhi. Please bring people you may know who would like to understand more about Sikhi. No pre-requisite knowledge is assumed.

The session will last just 1 hour.

Gurfateh.

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Saadh Sangat Ji, As many of you may not be aware, every Tuesday evening children from the sangat participate in the recitation of Rehraas Sahib Ji. The children are aged between 5 and 13 years old. After Rehraas Sahib Ji there is a short discussion with the children in English about Sikhi. There is also the opportunity for those interested to gain a GCSE qualification in Sikhism. Following the program in the Darbar Sahib, children have the opportunity to use the facilities provided at the BASE (the youth club associated with Gurdwara Sahib), and also the sports hall.

Below is a timetable for the event on Tuesday evenings:

5:45 – 6:00pm  – Waheguru Simran.

6:00 – 6:30pm  – Children recitation of Rehraas Sahib Ji.

6:30 – 6:45pm  – Short discourse in english about Sikhi.

It is a humble request that as many children as possible attend the event every Tuesday evening.

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sangat Ji,

We would like to inform you that Bhai Gurpreet Singh Shimla Waale will be returning to the gurdwara sahib to participate in a kirtan darbaar on Thursday 24th June. The evening program will start  at around 6pm with the recitation of Rehraas Sahib Ji, followed by kirtan by Bhai Gurpreet Singh. It is a humble request to all local sangat to attend this program.

Sangat Ji, today the second dastaar clinic was held at Guru Nanak Gurdwara. The sevadaars included Bhai Taranjit Singh, and Bibi Rajinder Kaur amongst others. We would like to thank the sevadaars for their hard work. The clinic was a huge success, and it is hoped that this event will be repeated again and will become a regular event with the support of the sangat and the sevadaars, and the kirpa of Guru Sahib.

Below are some pictures from the clinic:

Bhai Manvir Singh Ji visited the Gurdwara in Feb 2010 and recited kirtan and also shared the Saakhi of Bhai Manjh – who was a Sikh for the time of Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
