Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha

General information

Guru Nanak Niskham Sevak Jatha (GNNSJ) is a Sikh organisation (Jatha) founded on the principles of selfless service to humanity (Niskham Sewa) in the name of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaaj, the founder of the Sikh faith. A registered charity, the headquarters are in Birmingham, UK, with branches in Leeds, London, the Indian subcontinent, where Sikhism first emerged, and in Africa, where GNNSJ was first established amongst a community of Sikh settlers by its founding Saint, Sant Baba Puran Singh Ji of Kericho. He was a Saint, but also a family man, who earned a living through honest toil and, through many projects, contributed selflessly to the welfare of those around him, irrespective of background.

Sant Baba Puran Singh Ji's example motivated many Sikhs to make the threefold teachings of the Sikh faith a living and working reality: Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, Wand Ke Chhako - kindle your spiritual flame through rememberance of the Divine Name; put sincere and humble effort into your daily work; share with others the fruits of your labour. This has made Sikhism a practical religion, where personal spiritual development is set in the context of family and community life and channelled into serving God's wider creation. Over the years, GNNSJ has dedicated itself to keeping this spirit alive and well
