Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh (The Khalsa belongs to the Almighty Lord, Victory belongs to the Almighty Lord)
It is Sangrand today. Sangrand is the beginning of a new month in the Sikh Nanakshahi calendar (so make sure you come to the Gurdwara Sahib to seek blessings of the Guru).
... Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji blesses us with the following Hukamnama (Edict) for this month:
HUKAMNAMA FOR THE MONTH OF BHAADON
Friday, 1st Bhaadon (Samvat 550 Nanakshahi)
English Translation:
BAARAH MAAHAA ~ THE TWELVE MONTHS: MAAJH, FIFTH MEHL, FOURTH HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:
In the month of Bhaadon, she is deluded by doubt, because of her attachment to duality. She may wear thousands of ornaments, but they are of no use at all. On that day when the body perishes-at that time, she becomes a ghost. The Messenger of Death seizes and holds her, and does not tell anyone his secret. And her loved ones-in an instant, they move on, leaving her all alone. She wrings her hands, her body writhes in pain, and she turns from black to white. As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma. Nanak seeks God’s Sanctuary; God has given him the Boat of His Feet. Those who love the Guru, the Protector and Savior, in Bhaadon, shall not be thrown down into hell. || 7 ||
Friday, 1st Bhaadon (Samvat 550 Nanakshahi)

May Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji bless the everyone with happiness, good health and prosperity.
All Diwaans today will be held in the Darbar Sahib 4.
Please note: there will be a Gurmat Sangeet Darbar held on Saturday 18th August 2018 from 6:30pm onwards in the first floor main Darbar Sahib.

Went there last night really appreciate every moment as I listened to Gurbani felt at peace don't get to come more often when I do don't really want to leave Waheguru Ji da Kar

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ke fateh!

Simran is fast step to Waheguru &

If u do with sangat that's million step to Waheguru

Waheguru hold u hand & bless u for Amrit

We started last year as a family n chakna Amrit in April from Akal takhat Amritsar

Keep doing simran & don't miss Simran jaap at sgn gurudwara smethwick

Visited there today with the kids from school. Was a fantastic visit, really enjoyed it. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. One of my favourite school trips.

This was the first Gurdware in Birmingham Smethwick opened in 1963

The very first building was bought for some £6k in 1963 with the people's money and hand out & donates

Lots of money Was collected from foundries & factories while people were paid on Friday in cash



This was once said, it was our Gurdware ( meaning people's belongs to every one )



There were Four people ( I mean persons ) who first started the Gurudware @ the school next to the Becon cinema

Were we all use to get to greater on Sunday morning



That's how this building was bought



Those for person names should not be forgotten

This Gurdwara Sahib feels like home, everybody is friendly. The variety of classes cater for all ages and there is always something going on. The committee members are easy to approach and it is easy to get to. Keep up the good work.

The kirtan sung on the 25th December was so spiritually uplifting. The langar we ate at the Gurudwara was simply sublime. Everything was organised to perfection.

Since 1965 I do go to this gurdwara most of the Sunday it's very peaceful place where you can listen gurubani after the bhog from the stage they give you information about sikhajam and kirtaan

Its a wonderful place the food is amazing and everyone is so helpful and friendly. the atmosphere is very peaceful and the main hall is always so calm a great place however your feeling. It always brightens my day.

I specially made a point for my birmingham visit to go there and was really mesmerized by the beauty of gurudwara sahib. Though little but i treasure the time i spent there. Thanks for all the people who have maintained such a lovely place of worship in foreign land.

I have no words to even express the feelings from yesterday. The energy from Guru Nanak gurdwara was very high level. I enjoyed my time.



Peace and prosperity Guru Nanak’s blessing are surely on his people and they will remain as long as we are all humble 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I attended this Gurdwara yesterday with colleagues for a Sikh awareness day with WMP. The speakers who were both Officers and Sikh teachers were very friendly and knowledgable. I learnt a lot during the day while enjoying lovely food and great hospitality from volunteers and strangers. Everybody is welcome into the Gurdwara to share food. I had a great day and would highly recommend other people visiting it.

I always have a positive day when i pop into Guru Nanak Gurdwara.

all sewadars work hard serving the community.

Gurudwara.. guru(prophet) + dwara(home) who helps to teach us good teaching for the mankind. Experience is above rhe 5* rating,
