OBJECTIVE
Listing :- The main idea behind these websites is to provide the listing to all the HISTORICAL GURUDWARA SAHIB’s around the world. To provide details of the sacred Belongings preserved at different GURUDWARA SAHIB’s and Relation of that particular place in the Sikh History.
Provide accurate Information about History :- The information we generally find on internet is not accurate and is not up to the mark, incomplete or is mixed up that its very difficult to understand. So we by visiting all the HISTORICAL GURUDWARA SAHIB’s personally collect the correct information and display it on website in all the three Major Languages English Punjabi and Hindi. Also we have uploaded the History Board of GURUDWARA SAHIB’s which was put by the governing bodies of the Gurudwara Sahib itself.
To Provide the matter in All Languages :- Currently These websites are made in English Punjabi as well as Hindi Languages So that people from all the regions of world are able to read and Understand the Sikh History.
Highlight the requirements for maintenance :- Some of the sacred places around the world needs a serious attention before they gets extinct. On the website we provide the list of those GURUDWARA SAHIB’S also, who need serious attention and funds to keep the Sikh History alive, as being historical GURUDWARA SAHIB’S they have a special place in our history.
Belongings of GURU SAHIB :- Under this link we provide the Details of Personal Belongings of different GURU SAHIB’s and other Sikh personalities that are preserved at different GURUDWARA SAHIB’s.
Aged & Disabled :- The old aged people who cannot travel or people who are living abroad and cannot come to India so frequently because of their day to day routines, all of them can have a look on all these GURUDWARA SAHIB’s. Moreover, they will have the access to detailed info about the History of the sacred place.
For the training purposes :- This data base can be used for training purposes. And it is going to be quite helpful to all those who want to know and want to learn more about Sikhism, especially to Students to know more about the historical places related to Sikh history.
Plan Trips :- People going for religious trips can plan their Trip when they have the information of all the GURUDWARA SAHIB’s situated at particular Place they are planning to visit. They can get the idea of number of GURUDWARA SAHIB situated, Distance from Each other and way of reaching there.
WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS :- We personally visit each and every GURUDWARA SAHIB to get the first hand information of the History, Location, Personal Belongings preserved there. We meet the local people at GURUDWARA SAHIB (Sewadars and Granthi Singhs) to ask them about History of that place and Other HISTORICAL GURUDWARA SAHIBS that are situated near by. Before going to particular GURUDWARA SAHIB firstly we do a research on the Internet and read different books available on that particular GURUDWARA SAHIB to know more about that Historical Place. And before leaving we also do the research to know the best Suitable Road Route to avoid any confusion. As Sometimes GURUDWARA SAHIB’s are situated on remote locations so we have to go by our own vehicle rather than going by Bus or Train.
FINANCE :- Currently HISTORICAL GURUDWARAS CHARITABLE & RESEARCH FOUNDATION is managing the project. We are looking forward for your support and contribution in day to day Expenses like Registration, Hosting of website and visiting / Travel expenses to these Sacred Places. So that our team can work more on Sikh history.
