Langar London 2008.
Date: 03/26/2008
    Langar London is an initiative which has been started in the United Kingdom in 2008 to serve free food to homeless shelters and mental health institutions in partnership with Shepherds Bush Gurdwara and the ProjectNaad Group. Shepherds Bush Gurdwara is the oldest Sikh institution in the United Kingdom and was frequently visited by Yogi Bhajan on his tours to the UK.

    The inspiration for the Langar London project was Gurubachan Singh Khalsa who visited London in February 2008 and encouraged the ProjectNaad team and its growing volunteer base to put Sikh Dharmic wisdom into practice by serving the needy people of London city.

    Yogi Bhajan once said that the majority of people are not interested in learning about God or philosophy or anything even remotely esoteric. The only thing that everyone wants to know is “When’s Lunch”!

    Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the subsequent Gurus used the basic concept of sharing food to create a simple spiritual lifestyle based on community involvement, sharing, working together, equality and helping the needy.

    Our first Langar seva was at HeatherLodge which is a Mental Health Institute in East London. With Gurus grace we served a total of 20 people coming from all backgrounds and who were grateful for the langar seva. Everyone was eager for the Sikh community to ensure that Langar London becomes a regular event. Waheguru!

    The ProjectNaad team would like to see the langar initiative to be emulated across all the major cities in the United Kingdom. If you would like to assist with Langar London or setup a Langar programme then please feel free to contact us and we would be more than happy to help.
