Future Plans: New Building for Gurdwara is likely to complete in 2006-07
Nanaksar Thath Isher Darbar Gurdwara was registered as a Religious and Charitable Society on 12th June 1985. A piece of land was purchased in Cranbourne in 1987-88. It was then an uninhabited place without the basic facilities. One of the disciples remarked and questioned as to why that holy man had purchased that useless piece of land. If you look at it today Cranbourne is one of the fast developing areas in Victoria and has all the modern amenities such as schools, a railway station, supermarkets, business centre etc. Where there was nothing before, there is a Gurdwara with an elementary school for the teaching of the Punjabi Language with "Kirtan" training provided.
The new building project worth 2.5 million Dollars has already reached the ground level. Regular religious services are taking place in make- shift temple and whole Sikh community is supporting the new project. Besides this, 32 acres of land is being developed by the society for residential purpose. Nanaksar Sikh temple with wonderful surrounding soon will be one of the most beautiful places in Australia.
