British Sikh youth have been conducting events known as Akhand Jaap (continuous recitation) since September 11th 2001. These events have previously taken place on ten occasions around the UK, hosted by Gurdwaras in Essex, London, Middlesex, Yorkshire and West Midlands.

At the Akhand Jaap the word Waheguru (Wonderful Lord) is sung continuously for up to 24 hours. The congregation is led by various groups of 'Kirtanias' from around the UK and abroad. In singing this 'Gur Mantar', even small children can join in and feel the power of congregational prayer. This youth initiative attempts to create an atmosphere in which every participating soul can benefit.

On the 13th October 2007 Sikh youth from all around the United Kingdom will come together at the Sikh Religious Educational & Interfaith Event to pray for peace.

Please support this youth endeavour, let's pray for peace together!
