The Three Tenets of Sikh Life
The foundational principles gifted by Guru Nanak Dev Ji — the values behind everything we do as a Sangat.
Naam Japo
ਨਾਮ ਜਪੋ
To remember God — through prayer, meditation, and the recitation of Gurbani. Keeping the Divine ever present in thought and deed.
Kirat Karo
ਕਿਰਤ ਕਰੋ
To earn an honest living through hard work and righteousness — rejecting exploitation and embracing dignity in all labour.
Vand Chhako
ਵੰਡ ਛਕੋ
To share with those who are less fortunate — embodied in our weekly Langar, open to all regardless of faith, caste, or origin.
Our Mission
Sarbat Da Bhala — Welfare for All.
The Guru Nanak Sewa Community Centre was established to serve every person in the Durham Region — regardless of background, faith, or circumstance. Our mission is rooted in the Sikh ideal of universal brotherhood and selfless service.
While our permanent Gurudwara at 1410 Stevenson Rd. North undergoes re-zoning, engineering, and permit approvals, Sunday Diwans continue at Anderson CVI, Whitby. Your support directly accelerates our path to a permanent home for the Sangat.
