Detailed Information
Sikh Mission Center at Austral is a ‘Gurudwara’ or a door to the Guru that serves the local Sikh community offering a place of worship, weekly Keertan and sermons from the revered Guru Granth Sahib.
The origins of Sikhism lie in the teachings of Guru Nanak and his successors. The essence of Sikh teaching is summed up by Nanak in these words: “Realisation of Truth is higher than all else. Higher still is truthful living”. Sikh teaching emphasizes the principle of equality of all humans and rejects discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, and gender. Sikh principles do not attach any importance to asceticism as a means to attain salvation, but stresses on the need of leading life as a householder.
