[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 167977, member: 2709"] Sat Sri Akal bhenji! It is always a little easier to call before you attend, that way you can have someone show you where to go, where to sit and what to do. Of course, you can go on your own and it shouldn't be any problem. Here's some tips just off the top of my head... I'm not sure how much you already know so please forgive me if you already know this stuff: [LIST] [*]Wear modest clothes (you'll need to bow so if you've got something to cover your bum it will help you feel more modest [*]Be clean (d'uh hehe) [*]Take something to cover your head with (a scarf or a bandana) [*]Take a serviette in your bag, you'll need it after you've eaten the karah prashad (sweet mushy thing they'll give you to eat at the end of the service) [*]Don't get there right at the beginning of the service, make it 30 minutes in or something so people will be there before you [*]You can take a bag inside with you (I was worried about this on my first visit!) [*]When you get inside, put your shoes wherever the other shoes are [*]Wash your hands (andy our feet if they're dirty) [*]Go to the main prayer hall [*]Walk down the 'runway' to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - it doesn't matter if they're playing music or speaking from the Granth Sahib or the stage (but if they're speaking facing Guru Granth Sahib with their back to the audience then wait at the door) [*]If there's a lineup of people praying and bowing just get in line and wait your turn [*]When it's your turn, pop your donation into the money box (golak) - it will be where you bow or within arms reach [*]Then bow (as in, on your knees then touch your forehead to the ground) [*]Get up and go sit down on the ladies side of the prayer hall. [*]Copy everything they do after that. Usually no one gets up without bowing from where they're sitting [*]At the end, follow everyone to the langar hall and eat your lunch. Sometimes you get in line and take a plate and take the plate to people who put food on it. Sometimes you just walk in and sit down and they bring a plate and then food to you where you sit. [/LIST]You can go home whenever you like. Smile! You can say 'Sat Sri Akal Ji' to anyone you see. With luck someone will start talking to you. With even more luck they'll get you helping with cleaning up or something. I really hope you enjoy your visit! Do come back and tell us how you go. :happykudi: [/QUOTE]
