Sant Baba Sohan Singh Ji's 52nd Salaana Yaadgiri Semagan, Gurdwara Sahib, Melaka, 23-25 May 2024

Honouring Sant Sohan Singh Ji: A Celebration of Faith, Service, and Community
Each year, hundreds and thousands of Sikhs make a pilgrimage to the Malacca Gurdwara Sahib during the third weekend of May to honour Sant Baba Sohan Singh Ji - Malaysia's first Sikh Holy Man - for answering their prayers. Many come to seek his intercession for various needs: a good job, a promotion, a scholarship, business success, or good health and well-being.
Over the past five decades, countless answered prayers have strengthened the faith of Sikhs in his powers, creating a spiritual awakening among them.
The event draws devotees from Europe, the US, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia to Malacca to seek the saint's guidance.
During the four-day event to commemorate Sant Sohan Singh's 52nd death anniversary from May 23-26, 2024, Jalan Temenggong (where the Gurdwara is located) was a hive of activity. Devotees brought offerings such as flour, sugar, ghee, dhal, and sweets, besides cash. Tourists and non-Sikhs also visit the temple, donning headscarves as a sign of respect.
Inside the Gurdwara, thousands of worshippers kept vigil with the non-stop recital of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Holy Book). After their prayers, many engage in 'sewa'-selfless service to God-by preparing and serving food and drinks, washing dishes, and cleaning the premises. This cooperative spirit, akin to the 'gotong royong' concept, thrives without any formal leadership or hired help. Volunteers or sewarders, regardless of their background, work together harmoniously, taking turns when tired, ensuring there is always someone to carry on the service.
The temple grounds had a carnival-like atmosphere. The free food served was strictly vegetarian.
The record crowd of over 60,000 faithfuls brought a mini boom to Malacca, with hotels fully booked and the overwhelming presence of Sikhs felt throughout the historical city.
Sant Baba Sohan Singh Ji's legacy of virtuous living and teaching continues to inspire Sikhs, demonstrating the power of faith and selfless service.
