Visit Us Guru Nanak Sikh Society USA welcomes people of all races and faiths. There is no membership fee and no appointment is needed to visit a Sikh temple.
Our Sikh Temple is held every Sunday from 11 AM to 2.30 PM. Free vegetarian food and tea with pakores are served at the gurdwara. Around the world Gurdwaras generally have a free kitchen called a Langar or Guru ka Langar where the members of the Gurdwara take turns preparing and serving the congregation and any guests to the Gurdwara.
Following are some of the things one must remember when going to a Sikh Temple: Kindly cover your hair before entering the main hall of the Sikh Temple. We have rumaleins (a small cloth, like a handkerchief) available just before the entry, so just come in - you can pick one out , someone will be glad to help tie it if needed. Covering ones head is for the respect of our Sikh Holy Book (the present guru of the Sikhs known as Sri Guru Granth Sahib). Proper clothing is also expected with no shorts, short skirts or tank tops (bare shoulders).
Everyone must cover his/her head with a piece of cloth before entering the Sikh Temple , men can of course wear a turban and women may wear a scarf. Everyone must also take his or her shoes off at the entrance of the Sikh Temple. Again, taking shoes off and washing ones feet serves two purposes, first is for the respect of the guru (the SGGS) and the second is for cleanliness. At any Gurdwara it would be a good idea to check to see if socks must also be removed, some Gurdwaras outside of India allow socks to be worn in the Gurdwara and Langar.
You must not enter the Sikh Temple with any illegal (street drugs), tobacco products, or alcoholic beverage on your person. Furthermore, you must also not be under the influence of any of these items (for instance, having the smell of beer, wine, alcohol or tobacco on your breath or clothing would be very disrespectful as Sikhs by their code of conduct are not to use these items. Usage of any of these products is prohibited in the Sikh Temple. Sikhism teaches Sikhs to live free of these substances.
