Guru Ram Das Guru Prasad Yatra to India

Join Sikh Dharma International for a once-in-a-lifetime journey in Seva and Sangat from October 21-November 3, 2026 on the Guru Ram Das Guru Prasad Yatra to India! SDI warmly invites you to join us for the Guru Prasad Yatra to India – a heartfelt pilgrimage into the living legacy of the Sikh Gurus. This journey is an opportunity to deepen your connection to the Guru through seva, devotion, and the uplifting power of sangat.

The yatra begins in Hoshiarpur with a Samagam, a spiritual gathering featuring beautiful and diverse kirtan. In the company of an inspired sangat, participants will join in prayer, community, and shared intention, grounding ourselves in the humility and spirit of service that are central to Sikh Dharma. The group will then join Langar Sewa, a dedicated organization serving meals to all, regardless of background or circumstance. In this sacred act of service, we experience the Guru’s message of equality, compassion, and love in action.

From Hoshiarpur, the group will journey to Sri Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar—the radiant heart of Sikh devotion and the sacred home of Guru Ram Das Ji’s legacy. There, participants are humbly invited to serve alongside a devoted Jatha, helping prepare Langar in honor of Guru Ram Das Ji’s birthday. To offer seva in this sacred space, at such a blessed time, is a profound privilege—a true expression of Guru Prasad, the Guru’s Grace.

The journey continues to Dashmesh Sadan, the home of the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, and onward to the historic Gurdwaras that hold the living legacy of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. On this final leg of the journey, the group will immerse themselves in Kirtan, Meditation, Khalsa History and Sangat.

The Guru Prasad Yatra is more than a pilgrimage—it is a spiritual homecoming, an opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Guru and experience the transformative power of grace.
