Become a sewadaar
Serve the sangat, just as Baba Budha Ji did
"Seva is the highest form of worship."
Every meal, every prayer and every open door at Miri Piri House is made possible by sewadaars giving their time freely. There is a place for you too.

Why seva?
The heart of Sikhi
Seva is selfless service, given with humility and love. Baba Budha Ji served six Gurus for more than a hundred years and never asked for anything in return. Every role in the Guru's house matters, from the langar hall to the darbar.
- Serve Guru Ghar with love and dedication
- Learn humility and teamwork
- Feel closer to the Gurus' teachings and the sangat
- Be part of a warm, active community
