Sikh Sangat Rings In the New
Year With Guru
Satnam Singh
Khalsa
 FREMONT: In an
experience purely spiritual in nature, the Sikh Sangat here
preferred to ring in the New Year in the presence of the Guru at
Gurdwara Sahib, Fremont, participating in a 27-hour long Keertan and
Katha Darbar that began at 5:30 pm on December 31, 2009 and went on
till 9:30
pm of
January
1, 2010.
As the sangat
was awashed in the religiosity inside, outside there was langar
going on which was run by well known Punjabi restaurant Kabila and
another, Tandoor Wale. Apart from these, many enthusiastic members
of the sangat were also running langars of tea and pakoras.
Even last year,
a similar 29-hour long Kirtan Darbar was organized. Gurughar’s chief
sewadar Bhai Harjot Singh Khalsa said he is eternally grateful to
Akal Purakh for His blessings. He specially thanked Bhai Sukhwinder
Singh and Bhai Nirpal Singh Muchhiana who performed the sewa of
parking.
Even the Fremont
Police also praised the arrangements made. He said praise was also
due for the team volunteers Tarsem Singh ji who always comes to the
aid of the Gurughar with his buses. Bhai Harjot Singh also praised
Kabila Restaurant, Bhupinder Singh Italian, Bhupinder Singh A-One
Interior Decoration and also GN Enterprises’ Gurdip Singh who,
though he himself was in
India,
had contributed immensely over the last two years.
Among those
whose without whose contribution the program could not have been
such a stupendous success were Jai Singh, Ajmer Singh Nijher of 7/11
stores, Rampal Singh Singtax Wale, Dr Jotpreet Singh Shahi, Tejinder
Singh Dhami, Kuldip Singh Bajwa, Balbir Singh Gakhal, Inderjit
Singh, photographer Gurvinder Singh and many who served in the
langar rows in untiring fashion.
Sangat had
arrived from not just Bay Area but also
Stockton,
Tracy, Manteca, Modesto, Sacramento, Woodland and even from Yuba
City.
