First time at the Euless Gurdwara?

Welcome to the Euless Gurdwara (also referred to as a Sikh Temple or GuruGhar, or home of the Guru) – we would love for you to join us for some peaceful reflection – including meditation, music and meals!

Anyone is welcome to worship in a Gurdwara regardless of caste, color, or creed. A specific protocol of worship exists for the Gurdwara – here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Be modestly attired (no shorts for men or short skirts for women please)
  • Cover your head.
  • Remove your shoes.
  • Wash hands
  • Bow respectfully before the Guru Granth Sahib (Holy Book)
  • Offer any donation such as flowers, food items, or money.
  • Sit quietly on the floor with your legs crossed, and face towards Guru Granth Sahib.
  • Accept prasad, a sanctified delicacy made from flour, butter, and sugar.
  • Enjoy a free vegetarian meal from the Langar hall.

Receive Prashad with Both Hands

Guru Granth Sahib is the central focus of the Sikh worship service. The main service consists of singing verses from the Guru Granth Sahib. After the main worship service, a Sikh offers a prayer of ardas. Every one present stands. At the end of the day,  a final verse is read aloud. The sacred volume is closed, and Guru Granth Sahib is put to rest with a sukhasan ceremony.
