Welcome to Guru Nanak Temple
We are an online Sikh Gurdwara (Temple) dedicated to bringing the teachings of Guru Nanak to the wider world.

Our Mission:
Teach the World About Sikhism
With an estimated population of 25 to 30 million, Sikhs are the fifth largest religious group in the world. Yet most westerners have no idea who the Sikhs are. We hope to change that.
Guru Nanak Temple’s mission is to share the knowledge of Sikh history, values and culture with the rest of the world.
NOTE: In keeping with our Gurus’ teachings, Sikhs view all other faiths and religions with respect. Therefore our site does not engage in conversion or evangelizing. Instead we simply invite followers of other spiritual traditions to come visit our temples, enjoy our free meal service (langar), and learn about our deeply egalitarian traditions.
