Khalsa - Akaal Purakh Di Fauj

Fateh Jee,
Had accompanied family to a vacation in Goa where I celebrated my 24th birthday (would be uploading the pictures of our 7 day trip at my travelogue ( http://iabhijit.blogspot.com ).
Prior to the trip, Keeping in mind the fact that we would be travelling on the 14th of April, I had tried searching for Gurudwaras in Goa on Sikh portals like www.sikhpal.com and others, but unfortunately couldn't find any.
After asking many individuals in Goa, was informed about one "Sikh Temple" at a place called Betim located in a taluka towards the northern side of Goa.


On visiting the Gurudwara Sahib, found it to be in a dilapidated condition. The takht was empty and Guru Maharaj was hosted in small room towards the left corner of the hall. The granthi jee there told us that there are around 80 sikh families settled in Goa (almost all of them in the Betim district).


The image above is a 'printscreen' of a small video I took from my digicam. The text is as under:



The management committee of the Gurudwara hereby kindly request our most respect sadh sangat to donate / contribute in cash or kind towards very urgently needed kar seva of Gurudwara Sahib and accomodation for visitors. Please forward your most ernest remittance to our bank account as follows:


Here's the telephone number of the Gurudwara Sahib: 91 - 832 - 2413913.

The Gurudwara Sahib is not funded by the SGPC and is totally managed and maintained by the maya bhenta of the sangat. The bhai sahib jee there requested me to forward their appeal to the Internet community.
Here's hoping that this Guru ka ghar flourishes and provides spiritual inspiration to all those who seek to drink the sweet nectar of Naam. Rest upto Akaal purakh Maharaaj.

Bhul Chuk maaf..
Servant,
