About SGNSS
Our Journey
The Sri Guru Nanak Sikh Sabha was founded in 1981 to fulfill the spiritual and community needs of Melbourne’s Indian Sikh Community. Before its formal establishment, in 1977 families would meet in private homes as a space for prayer and connection. In late 1993, SGNSS moved to its current home at 127 Whitehorse Road, Blackburn—a postal warehouse that was thoughtfully refurbished and transformed into a vibrant and welcoming Gurdwara. What began as small gatherings in homes has grown into a thriving Gurdwara Sahib in Blackburn. Today, the Blackburn Gurdwara Sahib stands as a thriving spiritual and cultural hub, serving the needs of an ever-increasing sangat. Read more about Our History
The sangat is blessed with the opportunity to listen to live kirtan, devotional hymns, performed by experienced Raagi’s (musicians) every day. There are daily morning and evening diwaans. Larger weekly diwaans are held Wednesday evenings, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings. The Gurdwara also hosts special programmes to celebrate significant events such as Vaisakhi and Gurpurabs, drawing the community together in spirit, and sangat.

With continued mutual support and a strong commitment to service, we look forward to the growth and development of our community as respected and well-integrated citizens of Australia.
