About Manhattan Sikh Center
The Manhattan Sikh Center, located at 216 East 53rd Street in New York, NY, is a forthcoming sacred space dedicated to the Sikh tradition. Conforming to the principles of enabling any visitor to participate in prayer and service, the Center's mission is to provide spiritual uplift through prayer, community service, and support for fellow human beings. While currently under construction, the Manhattan Sikh Center plans to offer regular services for prayer and contemplation, including *paath* (reverent reading/listening of Sikh scripture) and *kirtan* (devotional singing of Sikh scripture). Visitors will be able to learn from the *Guru Granth Sahib*, the sacred Sikh scripture composed of writings from Sikh gurus and earlier saints from Hindu and Muslim traditions, largely devotional poetry set to music. A central pillar of the Center's offerings will be *langar*, a communal kitchen and dining hall where simple vegetarian food will be served to all visitors at any time of day, promoting fellowship and addressing hunger. The Center also intends to house a library and reading room, as well as classrooms for the study of Sikh religion and *kirtan*, with regular classes planned once operational. The Center aims to be a community hub, embodying the Sikh principles of service and inclusivity.
