About Guru Tegh Bahudar Ji Foundation
The Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Foundation, often referred to as "Norwalk Gurudwara," is a registered non-profit organization in Fairfield County, Connecticut, serving the Sikh community from Connecticut and New York. Open daily, the Gurudwara hosts Nitnem Bani recitations in the morning and evening. Regular Kirtan Diwans are held on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings, as well as on all special occasions and Gurupurabs. A significant community role is fulfilled through the Guru Gobind Singh Academy (GGSA), which offers Punjabi and Gurmat classes every Sunday. These classes follow a structured curriculum from the Sikh Research Institute, focusing on Sikhi education for children, aiming to raise awareness and integrate Sikh principles into their lives. The Gurudwara also provides Kirtan classes for children interested in learning the harmonium, tabla, and singing Shabads, with young students often performing during the regular Diwan on the fourth Sunday of the month. The foundation emphasizes the Sikh practice of "Langar," a free, vegetarian meal served to all visitors. Prayer services are centered on singing hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Unique features include an active music and Kirtan program and a Gurdwara library. The organization also facilitates downloads of Gurbani texts and related documents, supporting spiritual enrichment and education.
