In partnership with educational organisation, Basics of Sikhi, the Guru Nanak Darbar committee is launching ‘Basics of Nitnem’ classes this weekend.

Sessions will take place each fortnight at the gurdwara in Gravesend and will introduce attendees to the basic foundations and teachings of the religion.

“The course will provide an in-depth analysis of the background, importance, and key messages of each prayer, enabling attendees to gain a deeper understanding of the prayers' significance within the Sikh faith.”

Taught by Bhai Gurcharan Singh, the three-month-long programme will cover the 7 daily Sikh prayers, Nitnem Bania.

Organiser and committee member Jagjit Singh Dhaliwal said: “These prayers hold immense spiritual significance and encompass the core teachings and values of Sikhi.”

Classes will commence this Sunday May 7 from 5pm in the lecture theatre and will continue until the end of July.

Jagjit said: “We are pleased to be working in collaboration with Basics of Sikhi to bring a variety of Sikh based seminars and lectures that appeal to all ages and backgrounds.

“The course is open to all, so make sure you come down with your friends and family and we look forward to learning and growing together.”
