30 December, 2014: Gurdwara Sahib located in South Shields, UK is the only known Gurdwara Sahib in the world which runs just on sewa of sangat. This Gurdwara Sahib has no golak, no paid granthis, kirtaniye, committee, or any employee.
The Gurdwara is called Khalsa Mero Roop Hai Khaas and is the only Gurdwara to have continues Akhand Jaap since 1984, which means at least 1 person is doing Naam Jaap at all times since 1984.
The Gurdwara first opened up in 1981 by some humble Gursikhs and the tradition has been fully according to sewa for the past 33 years.
The normal hardworking Sikh sangat run the gurdwara, prepare langar, do kirtan, katha, and manage the Gurdwara all voluntarily. The humble gursikhs are now preparing the next generation to take the sewa forward and keep the tradition of sewa alive.
