In Sikhism, the word gurdwara refers to the Sikh place of worship. The gurdwara houses the Guru Granth Sahib, which is Sikhism’s sacred scripture and the everlasting guru of the Sikhs. Divine instruction contained in kirtan or hymns of Gurbani sung by Guru Granth Sahib offers the means to enlightenment. Thus, whoever comes to the gurdwara to worship enters the door or gateway of the guru. The greatest significance of the word gurdwara is found in its spiritual context. By gaining access through a portal capable of transporting it from spiritual ignorance and the darkness of worldly ego attachment by means of divine instruction, the soul may become spiritually illuminated and achieve liberation from the effects of ego.
