Information on Gurdwara: The Gurdwara is a place of worship for Sikhs. Gurdwara is a compound word created by combining the word Guru (Teacher) and Dwara which means door or a house. It is a spiritual place of worship and a cultural learning center for the young American Sikhs. Sikhism is monotheist and the fifth largest religion in the world which originated in India 500 years ago. The large communities of Sikhs can be found across India. However, Sikhs are only about 2% of the Indian population. Sikhs believe their faith to be a new and independent religion based on the insights of Guru Nanak the founder and the first teacher. Sikhism is closely related to Hinduism. Each person in Sikhism accepts the Granth (The sacred scripture), and each person closely follows the teachings (Gurmat) of ten gurus. Sikhism’s teachings and beliefs are closely tied to the culture and history of the Punjab. Although they pray to only one god, Sikhism has many god names; however, the most important is Waheguru. Waheguru stands for “The Wonderful Lord" in the Punjabi
