Gateway to Sikhism proudly launches Gurudwaras of World @ www.worldgurudwaras.com on auspicious day of Khalsa Sajna Divas , Vaisakhi April 14th 2012. Worldgurudwaras.com will strive to be most comprehensive directory of Historical Gurudwaras and Non Historical Gurudwaras around the world.
The etymology of the term 'gurdwara' is from the words 'Gur (ਗੁਰ)' (a reference to the Sikh Gurus) and 'Dwara (ਦੁਆਰਾ)' (gateway in Gurmukhi), together meaning 'the gateway through which the Guru could be reached'. Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
It is a work in progress and We strongly urge the Sikh Cyber Community to contribute to this project by submitting contact information, details, images of Gurudwaras around the world to make this a comprehensive directory.
Historical Gurudwaras in Pakistan
Gurudwara Baoli Sahib at Sialkot City
Gurudwara Baoli Sahib at Sialkot City
The Gurdwara Baoli Sahib is located at a distance of two hundred meters from Gurdwara Bair Sahib. It was built over the site where once the house of Maula Karar stood. He was afraid to meet Sat Gur and at the instance of his wife stayed inside and died of snake-bite. And it was here
that Sat Guru created this Shabd.
False is friendship with the false and greedy. False is its foundation. 0 Mullah, no one knows where death shall strike. [21]
A fair used to be held on Basant panchami. This Gurdwara has been maintained by Bhai Natha Singh with great love and affection. The Gurdwara is beautifully built and it is presently being used as a school for the blind. Gurdwara Sahib has been hidden because the people have occupied the land lying around Gurdwara and built houses on it. The tank built by Bhai Natha Singh Ji is adjacent to it. It is present even to day but it is gradually heading towards extinction.
