Sikhi workshops and Kirtan Darbar @ Reading Gurdwara

The RSYA held its first camp in Reading at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara. It was a day when the Sangat had the opportunity to learn about Sikhism philosophy and history in ENGLISH! Many thanks go out to Sikh Seva who camp and spread their Gyan (knowledge) with others. It was a great day and thanks to Maharaj Ji’s Kirpa, it went really well!



There was a Kirtan Darbar from 6pm until midnight which was fantastic. Many Sangat came from around the surrounding areas. It was the first of its kind in Reading and we will be doing many more of them. The only disappointment was the lack of local Sangat that attend the Kirtan Darbar in the evening, however, Maharaj Ji blessed his Sikhs and brought together many Chardi Kala (High Spirited) Sikhs from outside Reading to make it an awesome event. If you didn’t attend, trust us, you missed out!! But not to worry we will continue to do more and let the Sangat know about future events.



Here are a few pictures from the day event and evening Kirtan Darbar:
