Celebrating the Opening of the New Gurdwara (Sikh Temple): A Three-Day Community Celebration
On the 4th of October 2024, the Preston Sikh community came together in a beautiful celebration to mark the opening of our new Sikh Temple Gurdwara. The event, which spanned three days, began with the Arambh of Sri Akhand Path Sahib, a continuous recitation of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, symbolizing the unity, devotion, and spiritual essence of the Sikh faith. The entire community participated with love, compassion, and an overwhelming sense of togetherness, making the opening an unforgettable experience. From young to old, everyone contributed to the preparation and celebration, embodying the true spirit of "seva" (selfless service). This Gurdwara will not only serve as a place of worship but also as a centre for community service, spiritual growth, and unity. The joyous occasion reminded us of the strength that lies in coming together as a community and the shared love we have for our faith and culture. This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for us, one filled with hope, love, and a continued commitment to serving others. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
