Support for Communities

Sikh Mission of Virginia offers various services to its congregation and community at-large, The intent of these services are to support the unfortunate, needy and those impacted by sudden tragedies such as natural disasters or unforeseen events of life. We also welcome positive feedback or ideas from the community to improve our services and be progressive to keep up with the times without sacrificing the fundamental principles of humanity and Sikh faith.

Sehaj & Akhand Paath at Home

We welcome requests from the local community to perform Sehaj Paath at personal homes. Sehaj Paath involves the reading of the Guru Granth Sahib (1430 Ang) in a slow and understandable manner so the members of the house or community understand the deeper meaning of the Guru's Divine Infinite Message, and thus apply in every day lives via personal and communal actions. Kids are highly encouraged to particiapte. Any member from the community is welcome to volunteer. Feel free to contact our staff.

Gurbani Kirtan at Home

We welcome the opportunity to perform Gurbani Kirtan at your home, if such a need arises. We strongly encourage our Sikh Children to participate and perform at the kirtan events, and share their talent with the community. At times, only Naam Simran may be requested, where the congregation may meditate on the Holy Divine Shabd (Word) "Wahe Guru Sat Naam".

Langar Sewa

Every week the Diwan ends with community-based Langar service (community kitchen) where the food is prepared by volunteers. You are welcome to sign up for the Langer Sewa by contacting the organization via email: hsingh20170@gmail.com or call us at (703) 594-1699.

Donation Drives

Throughout the year, our volunteers coordinate various donation drives that are either seasonal in nature like Fall Drive to support internal volunteer based community projects, or support specific projects such as relief efforts for natural disasters or fight against diseases such as epidemics and pandemics. The organization always welcomes new ideas to support the nation and community on a global basis to support the Sikhi principles as advocated by Nanak.

Stage Presentations

During various morning, afternoon or evening diwans, members of the local Sikh community irrespective of age, gender, caste, creed or nationality, share their thoughts and research on various issues and topics, including but not limited to, Holy Divine Infinite Message from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, national and international events that impact humanity at-large, and discussions around challenges and opportunities that children/youth face. Seating may be limited, however, all present are accommodated with open hearts and minds.
