LOS ANGELES: (March5) The Sikhs from far off places joined the local Sikh Sangat at the grand Opening ceremony of the long awaited Gurdwara Sahib on Sunday March 5th at 7640 Lankershim Blvd.
It was such a large gathering that not only the spacious hall was filled beyond capacity but the dining hall was also packed to capacity. After the Bhog of Akhand Path Kirtan by Haguri Ragi of Darbar Sahib kept the Sangat in trance.
On the Baisakhi of 1987 the then managing Committee of Sikh Study Circle dismantled the Gurdwara Sahib on Vermont Ave but could not get through beyond the. planning stage Sikh sangat was very much frustrated at holding the weekly dewan at rented halls.
There is a large concentration of Sikhs in Los Angeles and absence of a regular and central Gurdwara Sahib was felt badly. Sikh Sangat of Los Angeles deserve the admiration for taking this initiative for fulfilling the spiritual and social need of the community. WSN sends it congratulations to Sangat of Los Angeles.
