Gurudwaras of World

Gateway to Sikhism proudly launches
Gurudwaras of World @ www.worldgurudwaras.com 

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.

Phoola Singh Ji was a renowned general of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He was born in the family of Sardar Ishar Singh in Samvat 1818. He performed great services for the Sikh nation and gurdwaras by activating the Akali Dal. A tower built in his memory is in Amritsar and there are special quarters for his contingent.
Akali Ji led the army of Ranjit Singh in many battles and emerged victorious. He martyred while fighting Frontier Pathans on 14th March 1823 AD (1st Chaiter Samvat 1879). Later his samadh was erected here.
This place is at a distance of 8 kilometer while traveling towards Attock from Noshehra (a town of Peshawar District). It is in village Pir Sabaq on the other bank of the River Lundi about 4 kilometer from GT road. It is not accessible without a boat. Its construction is beautiful but no maintenance is being carried out these days. There is large endowment of land which Mahant tried to sell. A suit was filed against him in 1916 which was decided in 1918. He was dismissed and the control of the same was handed over to Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1918.
In the past fairs used to be organised on Visakhi and Dasehra but that's history now.
