Being of Indian descent let me try to explain some things for people who might not know the…read moreunspoken "rules" that you should abide by when coming into a Sikh temple... * Don't come in smelling of alcohol, or while you're drunk and/or high. This behaviour is disrespectful anywhere, not just in a place of worship. * Take your shoes off, socks if possible, and put them in the cubby-holes. * Wash your hands AFTER you take your shoes off. * Men, cover your heads with those square pieces of fabric that you see right as you enter (sorry don't know what to call them in English :P)...same with women...unless you have a scarf on hand. Do not wear your hood though. * Go to the temple portion (same level as entrance) and donate whatever you can--even if it's just pennies. Where do you think the money for running the temple and making of the food comes from? Sit there (it's expansive) and just calm your mind, it's rarely busy unless of course you come on a wedding day haha. You can talk there, but very silently...and since it's large, many people won't hear your whispers unless you're in close proximity with them. It's best to be quiet though. * The kitchen/eating area is downstairs and you can come earlier to help make the food if you want. * Yes, when you go downstairs you're getting essentially a "free" meal, or however much money you donated upstairs, so don't be rude. * In India, and even in temples here sitting at tables and eating is uncommon, sitting on the ground is common in India, it is just typical of the culture. At this temple they give you a choice, you can sit on the ground or at the table...the tables are probably there for the older generation who have a hard time sitting on the ground. So sit on the ground, they'll respect your choices. * When eating, typically you don't go up to get seconds, you can...but usually people walk around with food/drinks, and you get can seconds then. * Put your dishes away, don't just leave them on the floor. Even though I don't practise Sikhism, I like to go temples on occasion...go and you shall see...temples are very calming. Be at peace. :)

This is a sikh temple, but they didn't have that option in the drop box…read more I came here for a wedding and everything was done in a fairly timely manner. As with all gurudwaras (sikh temples), you have to take off your shoes and cover your head as you enter the prayer hall. The wedding was done relatively quickly compared to other sikh and hindu weddings. The facilities are up to date. The food was pretty good, just the right amount of spice. All vegetarian, of course. The only thing that made me squirmish was that at the end of the morning tea and snack session, one of the workers there was emptying all the chutney leftover in the little dishes from pakoras into a pitcher and i don't know if it was going to be re-served or thrown out.... Anyway, I'm not sikh, myself, so it's hard to judge how great it is. So for me, it was okay. A standard religious temple in Vancouver.

I had heard about Langar and was very interested in being able to attend. I was nervous because I…read moream not familiar with the Sikh or their religion. I invited friends to join me and am glad that I did. As you enter the worship hall, remove your shoes and place them in the designated areas. Cover your head with your own cover or a borrowed one. Upon entering the main area, there's a table to your immediate left. On this table you can obtain an information pamphlet which covers the proper sequence for attending Langar. It also provides a short history of the religion. The food was delicious, but more importantly, people were very friendly and welcoming. A gentleman came and introduced himself and also provided some information about Sikh traditions and Langar. Langar is held every Sunday from 11-2. This is a great opportunity to learn about a different culture and to meet new people. Volunteer opportunities are available if you'd like to be more involved.

My wife and I make weekly trips here, typically in a weekday when it's less crowded. I quite enjoy the kirtan and pace at which the scriptures are read. Furthermore, there's something about this gurdwara that just makes me feel at home. It's difficult to put into words but it's an intangible asset this gurdwara has. Highly recommended.
