Roopinder Singh's Book Explores History and Global Evolution of Gurdwaras
Roopinder Singh's book, 'Gurdwaras: Abodes of the Guru', explores the 550-year history and global evolution of gurdwaras as spaces of worship, community, and culture. Highlighted at a launch event with theatre director Neelam Mansingh Chowdhry, the book features 51 prominent gurdwaras worldwide, including repurposed churches in New York and ecological initiatives in Maryland. Singh emphasizes the role of the 'sangat' in sustaining gurdwaras, contrasting this with European church patronage, and illustrates how these sacred spaces blend faith, architecture, and community service.
