ਸ੍ਰੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਮ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਸਹਾਇ
Namdhari Sangat Society is a Sikh charitable congregation. We gather for kirtan and naam simran, run langar open to everyone, teach Gurmat to our children and support neighbours through our food bank.
Who we are
The Namdhari tradition asks for a simple life: early-morning simran, honest work, a plain white dress and a kitchen that never turns anyone away. Under the guidance of Sri Satguru Uday Singh Ji, our sangat keeps those practices alive in Canada.
Everything here runs on volunteer hands. Families take turns in the kitchen, young people run registration, and elders lead the path and kirtan. Whoever walks in is welcome to sit, listen and eat.
Three ways we serve
Hot vegetarian meals cooked by volunteers and served in pangat, with everyone seated side by side on the floor.
Classes and competitions that teach children Gurbani, Sikh history and Punjabi in a joyful setting.
Path, kirtan and katha in the presence of the sangat, marking Gurpurabs and the Sikh calendar together.
Namdhari Food Bank
$5,100
On 19 July 2026 the sangat presented a ceremonial donation to Sai Dham Food Bank, alongside a van of groceries collected by our families. Our motto for the drive: serving humanity, one meal at a time.
2026 Gurmat Vidyak Sammelan
This summer's Gurmat education gathering and mela was held in the holy presence of Sri Satguru Uday Singh Ji. Here are a few moments from those days.
Seva & Programs
Every program below is run by volunteers. If one speaks to you, there is a place for you in it.
Langar is the Guru's kitchen. Our sevadars cook dal, sabzi, rice and fresh parshade for hundreds at every major gathering, and serve it in pangat so that everyone eats as equals.
Families bring rice, lentils, flour, oil and canned goods, which we pass on to local food banks. In July 2026 we presented $5,100 to Sai Dham Food Bank along with a van of groceries.
Teachers from the sangat guide children through Gurbani, Sikh history, Punjabi reading and the life of the Gurus. Classes are friendly, small and often end in laughter.
At our annual Gurmat Vidyak Sammelan, children compete in art, Gurbani recitation and general knowledge. In 2026 the theme honoured the 350th Shaheedi year of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji.
We hold path, kirtan and diwan for Gurpurabs, the Namdhari calendar and family occasions. Naam simran is at the heart of every program.
