New sound system installed at Sri Harmandir Sahib by UK Sikh Families, ensuring no devotee misses a Word of Gurbani

With an aim to enhance the spiritual experience of devotees, a state-of-the-art sound system has been installed at Sri Harmandir Sahib through the seva of UK-based Sikh families, ensuring uninterrupted and crystal-clear transmission of Gurbani kirtan across the shrine complex.

The shrine now features a brand-new, advanced sound system, installed through the seva of UK-based Sikh families and formally inaugurated by SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami following an Ardas ceremony.

More than 130 speakers have been installed across the parikrama and surrounding areas of the Darbar Sahib complex, ensuring that the voice of Gurbani kirtan reaches every corner of one of Sikhism’s holiest sites clearly and without interruption for the thousands of devotees who visit the holy place daily.

The initiative was led by Gursewak Singh Shergill, also known as Tony Shergill of BritAsia TV, along with Gulinder Singh, Jatinder Singh Hair, Ranjit Singh Saggu, Pardeep Singh Nijjar, and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu — all UK-based Sikhs who coordinated closely with the SGPC.

“It is a blessing for us to be part of this seva,” Shergill said at the conclusion of the event.

Dhami said the upgrade is part of ongoing improvements at the shrine, emphasising that as the number of visitors grows, the quality of facilities must also improve.

The SGPC also held discussions with the UK delegation on strengthening ties with the global Sikh diaspora and supporting religious initiatives abroad. The upgrade is designed to carry the melodious voice of Gurbani kirtan clearly to every corner of the sacred complex, ensuring that the ‘sangat’ (holy congregation) does not miss a single shabad, regardless of where they are.

The SGPC also acknowledged the contributions of the UK sangat and reiterated its commitment to enhancing facilities at the shrine. Known worldwide as the Golden Temple, Sri Harmandir Sahib receives thousands of devotees every day. This latest initiative reflects the enduring spirit of seva that connects Sikhs across the world. In the Sikh community, the message is clear, seva knows no borders.
