About us

The Sikh Sangat has been living in Brisbane for well over fifty years. Regular religious congregations have been organised since 1981.

Our beginnings

From rented halls to a home on Logan Road.

Sikh families first gathered at the Camp Hill School of Arts. From 1982, a monthly congregation was held in a rented hall of the Blind Welfare Association in Woolloongabba.

On the second Sunday of every month, families brought langar from home and Karah Parshad was prepared at the venue. After the Parkash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Japji Sahib was recited, Ardas was offered, and the sangat was served langar.

The foundation stone was laid by the Panj Pyare on Vaisakhi, 1988.

The process to buy land for the Gurdwara Sahib began in 1988. The sangat moved into the fully constructed Gurdwara at 2679 Logan Road in December of that year.

Today

A hub for the Sikh community of South East Queensland.

Much has changed since 1988, with many more families arriving in Brisbane from 2008 onwards. Today the Gurdwara Sahib is open to the local community seven days a week, with religious programs and community initiatives held daily.

As well as meeting the religious and educational needs of the Sikh community, the Gurdwara has become an important communication hub and gathering point for Sikhs across South East Queensland.

Our vision

Alongside our religious services, we aim to be a strong foundation for future generations — so the values and knowledge of the Sikh faith are passed down from generation to generation.

Our mission

Upholding the Sikh Code of Conduct.

The Gurdwara strives to uphold the Sikh Rehat Maryada and Hukamnamas as mandated by the Sikh supreme authority, Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
