    It is a matter of great pride for the entire Sikh community and well-wishers of Guru Nanak Dev ji to celebrate his 550th Parkash Purb (Birth Anniversary) this year. The celebrations have been going on for almost the entire 2019.


    Nearly every Gurdwara around the globe has been celebrating this special milestone with dedication. Here in the Metro Vancouver area, every Gurdwara has done an excellent job in paying tribute to the founder of Sikhism.


    Like each one of these Gurdwaras, Akali Singh Sikh Society Gurdwara, 1890 Skeena Street, held a very impressive seminar recently.

    The authors are renowned in their own fields. It was a very ambitious project. The Akali Singh Sikh Society and Dr. Sanghera , along with contributing writers for the book must be commended for producing this unique book.


    It is a very deserving tribute to Guru ji. Prior to releasing the book, Dr. Sanghera and Gurdwara Secretary Piara Singh shared their thoughts about Guru Nanak’s philosophy, mission and universal message of brotherhood and equality with the congregation.

     

    The book will be distributed free of charge to the congregation and those interested in reading it. The Diwan Hall was overflowing with devotees on this occasion.
