Amritsar, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) honoured renowned Sikh preacher Bhai Sahib Bhai Pinderpal Singh on Sunday following the conclusion of his 16-day Gurbani discourse at Gurdwara Sri Manji Sahib Diwan Hall.
Bhai Pinderpal Singh had been conducting the daily discourse since October 25, beginning with the celebrations marking the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ramdas Ji. He was honoured at the conclusion of the service by several Sikh religious personalities, including Sri Harmandir Sahib Head Granthi Giani Amarjit Singh, acting Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj and Jathedar of Takht Sri Damdama Sahib Giani Tek Singh.
Giani Amarjit Singh thanked Bhai Pinderpal Singh for sharing the teachings of Gurbani and Sikh history with the congregation. He recalled that Giani Sant Singh Maskeen had also served at the same holy site for many years, and said the continuation of this tradition by Bhai Pinderpal Singh was a matter of pride for the Sikh community.
He also said the SGPC had organised 48 Gurmat programmes across Amritsar with the support of the congregation to mark Guru Ramdas Ji’s Parkash Purab. Bhai Pinderpal Singh participated in these programmes as well, connecting devotees with Sikh history.
Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj said Gurbani discourse was an effective means of guiding human life and protecting society from social evils. He said Sikh scholars such as Bhai Pinderpal Singh played an important role in communicating Gurbani teachings in a simple and accessible manner.
Referring to the challenge of drug abuse, he said the lasting solution lay in connecting people with the Guru and following the teachings of Gurbani. He expressed concern over deaths among young people due to drugs and attacks on those raising their voices against the menace. He also described the death of Bhai Parvinder Singh in Mansa, who had spoken against drugs, as deeply distressing for Punjab.
SGPC chief secretary Kulwant Singh Mann, who represented SGPC president Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, thanked the religious personalities and devotees present. He praised Bhai Pinderpal Singh’s efforts to connect the congregation with Gurbani, Gurmat principles and Sikh values, and urged people to lead their lives in accordance with the Guru’s teachings.
Several Sikh religious figures, SGPC members and officials attended the ceremony, along with members of Bhai Pinderpal Singh’s family.
