CONGRATULATIONS
TO
Sadh Sangat of Arizona
A special chapter in the history of Arizona has been written for the Sikhs on Thursday, January 21, 1999 when Sikhs held the opening ceremony of Arizona Sikh Gurdwara at 1129 E Sheridan in Phoenix. A large number of people participated in the Nishan Sahib raising ceremony and welcomed the arrival of Guru Granth Sahib in the evening. People had tears of joy and happiness as soon as the car carrying Guru Granth Sahib entered the Gurdwara. A special ceremony was then carried to install Sri Guru Granth Sahib in the new Gurdwara that evening.
Next morning on January 22, 1999, Akhand Path was started and Bhog ceremony was carried on Sunday January 24, 1999. Ragi Jatha Bhai Manjit Singh Ji Patna Wale were especially invited for the opening ceremony of the Gurdwara. They performed kirtan on Sunday. This was the biggest Sikh congregation that Phoenix had ever experienced. Langar was continuously served from Thursday through Sunday.
