A Divine Opening to the 23rd Akal Gurmat International Camp

The Akal Gurmat International Camp, founded in 2002 by Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, began its 23rd edition today at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, nestled in the peaceful foothills of the Himalayas.

The program commenced with soulful Kirtan, followed by Ardas and Hukamnama Sahib, invoking the spiritual energy that sets the tone for the journey ahead.

Members of the Student Council then warmly welcomed and introduced the campers to the vision, purpose and flow of the Gurmat Camp.

This marks over two decades of a spiritually transformative journey that continues to welcome campers from around the world — including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, China and Singapore.

Set in the divine valley of peace in the foothills of the Himalayas, participants will receive immersive training in:

- Gurmat Sangeet with string instruments like Rabab, Sarangi, Dilruba, Sitar and more.

- Gurbani Santhya and Gurmukhi Learning

- Gatka, Martial Arts, Kickboxing and Archery

- Calligraphy

- Faith Walks through the serene Himalayan trails

- Darshan of Historical Gurdwaras

...and many more soul-enriching experiences.

This year’s camp resonates with the spirit of Akal Connect – Ruhani Rabta: Think Well. Feel Well. Live Well.
