Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh and Sat Sri Akal 

Picture
A Sikh place of worship is called a 'Gurdwara', which is open to visitors, irrespective of their religion or gender, at all times. The common translation of the term as temple is not satisfactory, as Sikhi possesses no sacraments and no priestly order. The essential feature of a Gurdwara is the presiding presence in it of the Sikh Sacred Scripture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, the living Guru of the Sikhs. Hence the name Gurdwara (guru + dwara) = the Guru's Door.

Sikhs believe the first place of pilgrimage is within one self. The main aim for creating this website is for educating site visitors in Sikhee (ਸਿੱਖੀ Punjabi; no "ism" in the original language) and Gurbani. Other information includes Gurdwara timetable and events, religious service and festival brief.

ੴ - "Ek O"
.. ਸਾਰੇ ਸਰੀਰ ’ਚ ਅਤੇ ਸਭ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ, ਇਕ ਰੱਬ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਕਾਰ, ਹੁਕਮ, ਰਜ਼ਾ, ਨਿਯਮ ਚਲਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਨੋਟ: ਸਾਰੀ ਬਾਹਰਲੀ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਤੇ ਇੱਕੋ ਰੱਬੀ ਨਿਯਮ ਚਲਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਸੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਚਾਰਨਾ ਹੈ।

ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ
ਸਾਰੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਰੱਬੀ ਹੁਕਮ, ਨਿਯਮ ਨਾਮਣਾ ਲਾਗੂ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਿ ਸਦੀਵੀ ਸੱਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਲਖਾਇਕ ਹੈ।
