Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara

Sikhs began settling in Leicester in significant numbers after the Second World War, contributing to the city’s cultural diversity and economic development. The establishment of the city’s first Sikh Gurdwaras in the 1960s marked a pivotal moment in the growth and organization of Leicester’s Sikh community. By 2021, the Sikh population in Leicester had risen to over 15,000, representing approximately 5% of the city’s residents, compared to a national average of 0.9%.

The Sikh community’s contributions are particularly evident during annual Nagar Kirtans (processions). The Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan, held in April, attracts thousands of people from Leicester and the Midlands, with a vibrant procession through the city centre. Another significant event is the Nagar Kirtan in November, celebrating Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Purab (birth anniversary), which unites the community in faith and joy.

I’ve never understood why we have allowed gurdwara management to become so deeply tied to elections, factions and politics. Let’s be clear choosing people to administer a gurdwara isn’t automatically against Sikhi. The problem is what happens when the gurdwara becomes an institution to be won, controlled and defended. A gurdwara is Guru’s house. Management should be seva, not a position of status or power. But once you introduce elections, you inevitably create camps, candidates, lobbying, personalities and competition for control. Haumai and lobh then enter an institution that is supposed to teach us to overcome exactly those things. The question stops being, What is best for the Guru and the Sangat? and becomes, Who controls the committee? And that is where the rot starts. Money, property, donations, jobs and influence become attached to positions that were supposed to be about seva. The gurdwara slowly starts operating like a business or political organisation rather than a spiritual institution. We should be asking ourselves whether our system of management actually reflects Gurmat. Seva should not be a career. Leadership should not be a prize. The Sangat should not be treated like an electorate to be mobilised. We need accountability, transparency and competent administration, absolutely. But above all, the institution has to remain Guru-centred rather than personality-centred. Otherwise we end up fighting over who gets to run the Guru’s house, while forgetting why the Guru’s house exists in the first place.

It’s all money making business always when I went I use to put £5 in the gulak. Now I go and take milk and sugar and other bits. Everybody should do the same so it’s served to everyone not only to people in power🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

So much for gender equality ONLY TWO WOMEN candidates, have some shame , I thought Sikhs treated females on a equal basis , you should void this election ( which is ridiculous your a place of worship not a Republic) Infact better still why not have all female management , trust the mothers , daughters and sisters !!!

🙏🏽🙏🏽
