Bathinda, November 15

A special religious congregation of Malwa zone was held at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, Talwandi Sabo, on Sunday, in which 1,247 persons got initiated as Sikhs.

The event was dedicated to the 400th birth anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib under the SGPC’s ‘Ghar Ghar Andar Dharamsaal’ (sacred shrine within every home) campaign.

On the occasion, SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur said: “They are making efforts to connect the sangat with the Sikh faith under its door-to-door campaign. Under this, various teams of preachers of the SGPC’s Dharam Prachar Committee will conduct ‘gurmat’ ceremonies in the villages to connect the sangat, including youth, with the Sikh history.”

She further said the SGPC’s Dharm Prachar Lehar was getting full support from the sangat.
