Free School to teach Punjabi & Gurumukhi, become certified Granthi

Celebrating 550 birth year of Guru Nanak, Shri Guru Singh Sabha announced the first ‘Free School’, where people can learn Punjabi and Gurumukhi, and even become qualified ‘Granthi’, i.e. priest. The school has been named Bhai Gurudas Gurmat Vidyalaya.
The classes under the school would be organised in the campus of Guru Harkrishan Public School (GHPS). “Primarily, we will be starting the classes in the evening from 4 pm to 7 pm, and further, more optional slots would be provided as per student strength,” Devendra Singh Gandhi, coordinator said.
He added that the training and study is open for all the age groups. “From a school student to a senior, everyone can learn the language and even learn the lessons shared by Guru Nanak during the course,” Gandhi said.
The students registering themselves can also become a certified priest of Gurudwara, i.e. ‘Granthi’ after completing the required lessons. “There has been a lot of demand for such a school in the community and followers from other communities as well, because it is difficult for anyone to learn the language and understand the lessons in the busy household environments,” Gandhi said.
Further, he added that Nanak’s teachings are not limited for a specific group or community. “Since many do not know the language, it becomes a limitation for them to learn the lessons taught by Guru Nanak, so this will be a step in giving them the opportunity to learn to live happily through the words of Nanak,” Gandhi said.
550 Guru Nanak Prakash Parv will be celebrated on November 12, 2019. Citing the special month, the school will have its first class for all the registered student on November 1 at 10 pm. Granthi Gola Singh from Sarhali Sahib, Punjab will be taking the first for the students.
Registrations for the classes will begin from September 1. The forms for registrations are available at GHPS, Khandwa road and Imli Sahib Gurudwara at Yashwant road.
