Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

Please join us in commemorating the Shaheedi Gurpurab of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Guruji showed the world that being a Sikh meant more than defending the rights of other Sikhs, more than honoring and respecting other religions. It meant defending the rights of people of all faiths, even if that meant making the ultimate sacrifice.

Akhand Paath for the Gurpurab will commence on Friday, 25-Nov-2022 morning with Samapti on Sunday, 27-Nov-2022 morning. This will be followed by regular Sunday Diwan and kirtan by Bhai Surinder Singh Ji and jatha. So, please join for paath (prayer) sewa or listening sewa.

Akhand Paath:
Paath Start Date: 25-Nov-2022, Friday, 06:00 AM onwards
Paath End Date:  27-Nov-2022, Sunday around 07:30 AM

NOTE: There is ample amount of free parking on Sunday in DC next to Gurdwara Sahiband also in parking lot in basement.

We look forward to your visit along with friends and family.

Warm Regards,

Sikh Gurdwara, DC

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

We have an important update to share with our sangat.

Today America is home to a vast number of diverse and vibrant religious communities whose religious liberty the Constitution vigorously defends, but it wasn’t always this way. America’s path to religious liberty has been long, hard and often steeped in violence. ‘FREE EXERCISE: AMERICA’S STORY OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY’ is a new documentary film that explores the difficult path to freedom of religion and conscience, from colonial times into the present, by examining particular events and stories that encapsulate such a remarkable national journey.

On Sun, 06-Nov-2022, a documentary filming about “Religious Freedom” is happening at Sikh Gurdwara, DC through Paulson Productions, Inc. They will start it around 11:30 AM EST.

So, we would like to have maximum attendance and would like to request all of our sangat members to please come this Sun, 06th Nov, 2022 with family and friends for this great opportunity and share your valuable thoughts. 🙏

NOTE: Please let them know if you are not interested in appearing in the footage.

Here are further details shared by the production company along with their brochure for this event.

We hope to see you and family positively on Sun, 06th Nov, 2022 in Sikh Gurdwara, DC.

Warm Regards,

Sikh Gurdwara, DC
