Did you hear the story about the Gurdwara built on government land? This is Gurudwara Nanaksara. It sits on 1.5 acres of land in Rajinder Nagar, once owned by the Indian government. The Nanaksar Satsang Sabha obtained this land, under the guidance of Sant Baba Gurdev Singh Jee. This Sabha also oversees eight other local Gurdwaras. The Delhi Sangat had longed for a Nanaksar Asthan in their city. Their wish was granted, not by Sant Baba Ishar Singh Jee whom they’d asked, but by his successor, Sant Baba Gurdev Singh Jee. Katha and Kirtan filled a temporary structure here in 1968. The permanent Gurudwara Nanaksara building rose in 1976, thanks to Sant Baba Gurdev Singh Jee’s patronage. Every Pooranmashi, this Gurdwara hosts evening celebrations. Devotees gather for the Bhog of Sri Sampat Akhand Paths of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. Gurudwara Nanaksara also has a unique annual celebration on March 4th. Three turns of the Bhog of Sri Sampat Akhand Paths conclude. On the final evening, Katha and Kirtan continue throughout the night, attracting renowned Ragiis from everywhere. Following Pooranmashi and the annual function, the first Sunday is reserved for Amrit Sanchar. However, those seeking Amrit can receive it any day, in hopes of improving their lives. The golden dome and intricate marble work of Gurudwara Nanaksara are a sight to behold. The Sangat gathers for both morning and evening services. Within the Gurudwara Nanaksara’s grounds, a free dispensary operates. Qualified doctors offer allopathy, homeopathy, and ayurvedic treatments, following a posted schedule. Even acupressure equipment is available, free of charge. These services are open to everyone. Gurudwara Nanaksara is presided over by S. Joginder Singh Ji, the President, and S. Swaran Singh Ji, the Secretary, both part of the Board of Trustees.
