About Us Give for People
The Gurudwara Sahib is a place of worship and community for followers of the Sikh faith. The word "Gurudwara" means "the doorway to the Guru," and refers to the spiritual teacher and guide of the Sikh community, the Guru Granth Sahib.
The Gurudwara Sahib serves as a center for prayer, reflection, and community service, embodying the values of seva (selfless service), simran (meditation and remembrance of God), and sangat (community). It is open to all individuals, regardless of their religious or cultural background, and provides a welcoming space for individuals to connect with their faith and engage in acts of service and charity.
The Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh scripture, is housed within the Gurudwara Sahib and is regarded as the living embodiment of the Sikh Gurus. The scripture is read and recited during religious ceremonies and provides guidance and inspiration for followers of the Sikh faith.
