We are very fortunate to have Bhai Harpal Singh Ji over from Baru Sahib in India to do a Gurmat Camp at Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Wakefield Rd, Bradford) from this Sunday 18th December 2011 to Sunday 1st January 2012 (2 weeks).
Bhai Sahib is a truly inspirational teacher/Gursikh having a very in depth knowledge and understanding of Gurbanee. His technique of delivery is excellent; he is able to engage with small children and adults alike. Many of you may have seen his program on Sikh Channel and Sangat TV.
This is truly a golden opportunity that we must all take advantage of. It is the personal duty of every Sikh to first learn Gurmukhi and Gurbanee ourselves and then teach it to our children and grandchildren so that we can realize and understand the essence of Gurbani and Sikhi.
Please make a note in your diaries and mark this event in your children’s Christmas School holiday schedule.

  • Each daily lesson is only 35 minutes long
  • Lessons are arranged between 9am and 9pm daily
  • You can request individual lessons if you prefer.
Gurbani Lessons for All
In addition to the Punjabi lessons mentioned above, there will also be Gurbani reading lessons.
There will be specific classes depending on your level of reading: Beginners, Intermediateor Advanced, starting with:
  1. Japji Sahib
  2. Sohila Sahib
  3. Jaap Sahib
  4. Anand Sahib
  5. Sukhmani Sahib
  6. Guru Granth Shaib Ji (from the beginning onwards)
Please view the below poster for contact details & forward this to as many people as you can. Please encourage your family, friends and colleagues to attend and make the most of this great opportunity.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

 

Saadh Sangat Ji,

 

We are pleased to upload a recording from earlier this month featuring Bhai Surjit Singh Ji. In this particular piece Bhai Sahib touches upon the qualities of a Gurmukh compared to a manmukh.  There is also a message for those that are wishing to propogate anti sikh messages, and attempting to stop any Sikhi parchaar. Bhai Sahib advises that we should try and live our lives according to gurmat, and even if we can apply just one pankhti from Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji to our lives then we will achieve a great deal. Bhai Sahib describes the attributes of someone who has had darshan of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The recording also highlights the issue of Sikhs deviating from the truth and following ‘Sant Baba’s’.
