Amrit Vela Radio is our Sikh Radio Programme presented by Lucky Dhillon O.B.E. Amrit Vela Radio was the first ever Sikh programme to transmit live every day from the Golden Temple in Amritsar in India. It's now a hugely popular show throughout the Sikh Community worldwide and Sikhs in the UK, playing a mix of devotional Sikh music and prayer. Sikhism is recognised as the fifth largest religion in the world with over 23 million devotees worldwide. Amrit Vela Radio is also a registered charity and in 2005 Amrit Vela radio listeners raised thousands of pounds for Gurdwara Shaheedan Singha Singhian; the first gurdwara built in Lahore, Pakistan since 1947. Amongst her many achievements, Lucky is particularly proud of making one Listeners dream, to visit the Golden Temple, a reality. Access would have been an issue for the young disabled woman but Lucky not only saw to it that provisions were made for both the flight and Temple visit but also accompanied her on her pilgrimage. |
