ਇਤਿਹਾਸ
History & Mission
Our journey of faith, seva, and community in Surrey, British Columbia.
Our History
Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Surrey was started in 1999 under the name of Canadian Singh Sabha Gurdwara by committed Sikhs who were strictly believers of Guru Granth Sahib and the principles set in Sikh Reht Maryada according to the philosophy of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. After the construction of the first phase, the Gurdwara was opened to the public on January 26, 2003. Giani Sant Singh Ji Maskeen was the first preacher to preach in the Gurdwara at the opening. Since then, prominent preachers and ragi jathas have continuously served the Surrey Sikh Sangat and abroad. Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara strictly follows the Sikh Reht Maryada approved by Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, Amritsar, Punjab, India.
Our Mission
To provide a spiritual home rooted in Gurbani, to serve the sangat through Langar and selfless seva, to educate the next generation in Gurmukhi and Sikh heritage, and to practice the foundational pillars of Sikhism: Naam Japna (meditation on the Divine), Kirat Karni (honest livelihood), and Vand Chakna (sharing with the community).
