AMRIT VELA RADIO
Amrit Vela Radio is an award winning Sikh devotional programme produced and presented by Lucky Dhillon. It began broadcasting in 1997 and made history as the first programme in Europe to broadcast live from Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) daily. It’s refreshing and youthful programming sets it apart from traditional ‘spiritual programmes’ and encourages an audience of mixed faith and all ages. ‘Amrit Vela’ itself means ‘the ambrosial hour’ and refers to the early hours of the morning, which are considered most conducive for meditation and practicing ‘nam’ in Sikh spirituality. Amrit Vela Radio features a live link to the Golden Temple for the ‘Ardas’ (daily prayers) and ‘Hukumnama’ (daily hymn/order).
Amrit Vela Sewa is a registered charity, dedicated to raising money for causes in the UK, India and Pakistan via Amrit Vela Radio. In 2005 Lucky and Amrit Vela Radio listeners raised thousands of pounds for Gurdwara Shaheedan Singha Singhnian (the first Gurdwara built in Lahore, Pakistan since 1947). Amrit Vela Radio was also granted the privilege and honour of collecting Sewa for The Golden Temple’s new sound system.
