Twenty gurdwaras in Malaysia will play host to some 40 katha sessions (Sikh preaching) in the third edition of the Gyan Pargaas Semagam (GPS), an initiative to rope in young parcharaks (preachers) to perform discourses on Gurbani.
The trained preachers in this leg, between Oct 25 and Nov 7, are Bhai Dewinder Singh Kairon, Bhai Davinder Singh Sabhraa and Bhai Gurdeep Singh Takhtupura.
The gurdwara covered in GPS 3 are Greentown, Wadda Gurdwara Sahib Ipoh, Taiping, Gunung Rapat, Butterworth, Kangar, Bayan Baru, WGS Penang, Petaling Jaya, Alor Star, Kajang, Sunway, Selayang, Klang, Port Klang, Raub, Kuantan, Tatt Khalsa, Johor Bahru and Rawang.
“The programmes celebrate Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as our one and only eternal living Guru, the Guru Panth and the Sikh Reht Maryada endorsed by the Akaal Takht Sahib and published by the SGPC as our sole Code of Conduct and Conventions.
“GPS3 programmes celebrate the life and Gurbani of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji in conjunction with the Aagman Purb of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji,” according to a note from one of the event organiser.
