SHAHEEDI GURPURAB OF GURU TEG BAHADUR SAHIB JI

SHAHEEDI GURPURAB OF GURU TEG BAHADUR SAHIB JI, our ninth Guru Sahib will be observed at SSG Gurudwara Sahib this weekend.  Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib is known as "Hind di Chaadar" meaning Shield of India, as he gave his life to protect Hinduism and the right to choose one's own religion.  He was tortured and executed by the orders of then Mughal emporer Aurangzeb at Chandini Chowk in old Delhi on November 11, 1675 which is now the site of Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib.  Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib in New Delhi is built on the site where Lakhi Shah Vanjara, a disciple of Guru Ji, burnt his house in order to cremate Guru Sahib's body.  Guru Ji made many vital contributions to Sikhism including building the city of Anandpur Sahib, saving the lives of Kashmiri Pandits, who were being persecuted by the Mughals.  He also contributed hymns for Guru Granth Sahib including Salok Mahala 9 which are extremely popular and give the true essence of human life and its link with Waheguru.

Our Mission
The primary mission of Sadh Sangat of Georgia is to raise awareness about the core teachings of the ten Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and promote a culture of universal brotherhood, service to humanity, and respect, dignity, justice and humility towards all human beings permeating any boundaries of culture, creed, faith and station in life. It is a platform to bring our communities together in a cohesive manner to celebrate our culture and heritage, to share our joys, achievements and sorrows, to serve the needy and helpless, and to serve the humanity at large. It is a platform to propagate our values and prepare our younger generation to become responsible citizens and compassionate leaders of tomorrow’s world.
History
Sadh Sangat of Georgia, Inc. (SSGA) is a non-profit organization, and Sadh Sangat Gurudwara Sahib is one of its first premiere institutions. The idea for this organization first emerged in July 2007 during the inaugural ceremonies of the building (housing the current location of the Gurudwara Sahib) with Shri Akhand Path Sahib. Upon the urgings of a small group of devotees and community leaders, the Sadh Sangat of Gurudwara Sahib was established in August 2007. Due to the collective efforts of the community and because of the passion, persistence and generosity of its dedicated volunteers, the seedling planted a short time ago has blossomed into a beautiful institution. Sadh Sangat of Georgia has made a concerted effort in keeping hierarchical office bearers and politics out of its institutions and daily functions. It takes pride in creating an environment of openness, equality, humility, serenity and tranquility where the community can come together in peace and harmony to celebrate our heritage and promote Guru’s teachings. True to its name, Sadh Sangat of Georgia is an organization of the Sangat, by the Sangat and for the Sangat. Most of the Gurudwara functions are accomplished by the collective Sewa of the Sangat, individual members doing Sewa in various capacities on various projects.
Community Outreach and Special Programs
Sadh Sangat of Georgia is committed to bring our communities together cohesively to celebrate our heritage and culture. It is committed to engaging our people to the kind of causes which are not only dear to our communities but also to the humanity at large. Sadh Sangat of Georgia has played a leadership role in bringing our communities together and collectively organizing several signature events since its inception. It celebrated its first anniversary by organizing a free community concert which was highlighted by the performances of the likes of Dya Singh of Australia music group – a celebrity of international fame.
