Situated at coordinates 19.1000811°N, 72.9983561°E, the gurdwara serves as a vital spiritual and community hub for the Sikh population residing in Navi Mumbai and the surrounding Konkan coastal belt. The name 'Guru Singh Sabha' — meaning 'assembly of the Lion-hearted Guru's followers' — reflects the collective spirit of the Sikh congregation (sangat) that gathers here for daily prayers, community worship, and social service. The gurdwara follows the traditions of the Sikh faith as established by the ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev Ji (1469–1539) to Guru Gobind Singh Ji (1666–1708), and reveres the eternal living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, as the sovereign and perpetual scripture. The daily schedule at the gurdwara includes the recitation of Nitnem (mandatory daily prayers), Kirtan (devotional singing of Gurbani), and Ardas (congregational supplication), creating an atmosphere of peace and spiritual reflection that welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds without discrimination. Kopar Khairane, developed by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) of Maharashtra in the latter decades of the twentieth century, attracted a diverse urban population including a significant Punjabi and Sikh migrant community drawn by employment opportunities in the Mumbai metropolitan region. Gurudwara Guru Singh Sabha emerged as a natural gathering point for this community, evolving over the years from a modest prayer hall into a well-organized institution offering religious, educational, and humanitarian services. The gurdwara operates a daily langar (community kitchen) that provides free meals to all visitors regardless of caste, creed, religion, gender, or economic status — one of the most distinctive and beloved expressions of the Sikh principle of seva (selfless service).
