00:30God is great!

00:32We have to work hard

00:34to make sure

00:36that this movement

00:38is a good investment

00:40for our nation.

00:42The day itself

00:44is associated

00:46not just with the creation

00:48of a faith but also

00:50with the values that it represents

00:52of courage, of valor,

00:54of sacrifice,

00:56of that spirit of community

00:58that brings everybody together.

01:00So, it's really wonderful to see

01:02that this

01:04great institution of the Gurudwara

01:06that has been created in Dubai

01:08attracts

01:10the

01:12large groups of Indians

01:14not just from the Sikh community

01:16but others as well.

01:18So, my compliments to

01:20Mr. and Mrs. Kandhari

01:22and to all the patrons of the Gurudwara

01:24and of course the hundreds of

01:26volunteers who selflessly

01:28work and make an event like

01:30this, an occasion like this

01:32so memorable for everybody.

01:34For a diaspora, for people living outside

01:36their own country, it is always

01:38a special thing to be able to

01:40celebrate your big days, your festive

01:42occasions.

01:44So, that's why you see

01:46that people coming from labor camps,

01:48people coming from wealthy families,

01:50people coming here

01:52in humble workers'

01:54buses and those coming in their

01:56luxury vehicles.

01:58I saw all of them as I was approaching

02:00the Gurudwara.

02:02You know, it's

02:04at one level a tribute

02:06to the

02:08spirit of tolerance that the

02:10leadership of this great country

02:12has put in place.

02:18Well,

02:20you have, I guess, close to

02:2250,000 members of the community

02:24who've arrived here.

02:26They come, they

02:28pay obeisance to the holy book

02:30which is the Guru and the guide.

02:32They sit and listen

02:34for some time to the

02:36verses from the book or

02:38to hymns that are being

02:40sung.

02:50What is truly remarkable

02:52is that each one of these

02:5450,000 visitors

02:56would be partaking

02:58in the langar, in the communal

03:00kitchen. On behalf of the Sikh

03:02community of UAE,

03:04I'm very grateful to His Highness

03:06Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Muqtum,

03:08the Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE

03:10and the ruler of Dubai

03:12for giving us this land free

03:14to build the land.

03:16We are very grateful to

03:18him for giving us this land free

03:20to build the temple in Dubai.

03:22This Gurdwara is now 6 years old

03:24and over 6 years we have

03:26served 5 million meals

03:28to the worshippers.
