About Guru Nanak Mission Gurudwara

Guru Nanak Mission, located at 138 Bauer Dr, Oakland, NJ, is a vibrant Sikh place of worship dedicated to executing Guru Nanak's mission of love, remembrance, compassion, justice, charity, equality, and education. While specific historical founding dates are not provided, the Gurudwara actively embodies the principles of the Sikh faith to make a difference in the local and larger Sikh communities. Services offered include regular Friday and Sunday Divaans featuring Keertan (devotional singing) by renowned artists and local jathas. A significant focus is placed on spiritual practice with weekly Naam Simran Abhiyaas every Sunday, as well as youth-led Simran programs on Saturday afternoons.

Guru Nanak Mission plays a crucial role in community building, evident in its emphasis on youth participation. Young Sikhs are encouraged to lead Keertan, perform Ardaas, and take Hukam, fostering the next generation of custodians for the institutions. The Gurudwara also engages in charitable activities, such as collecting non-perishable items for donation to a local food pantry. Unique features include its commitment to youth development through specialized programs, its educational academy, and its regular spiritual gatherings that welcome all to experience the teachings of Guru Nanak.

rotating basis on Saturday afternoons

Naam Simran Abhiyaas

Please join us every Sunday from 10am-11am when we practice Naam Simran Abhiyaas. Bhai Gurdas writes that Satgur Nanak brought back two things from Sachkhand: Naam and Humility. Guru Nanak taught us how to walk the earth with humility but also how to fly in the skies with Naam. By engrossing ourselves in Naam Simran we are able to take spiritual flight and enter the state of Anand.

Sunday 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
