Our Story

A Place of Seva & Simran

“Ik Onkar — There is One Creator of all Creation.”

Gurdwara Nanaksar Fresno has been a spiritual home and community anchor for Sikhs in the Central Valley for over three decades. Our doors are open to people of all faiths and backgrounds — everyone is welcome to share in the langar (community meal), attend kirtan (devotional music), and experience the peace of this sacred space.

Rooted in the teachings of the Sikh Gurus, we strive to embody the principles of seva (selfless service), simran (meditation), and sangat (community). Whether you are visiting for the first time or have been part of our family for years, you will always find warmth, food, and fellowship here.

The Nanaksar Tradition

Nanaksar Gurdwaras follow the spiritual lineage of Sant Nand Singh Ji Maharaj, emphasizing daily naam simran, Nitnem (daily prayers), and the recitation of Gurbani. The tradition is known for its deep meditative practices and devotion to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
