My GuruDwara Experience

Hi folks,

Here is something that I would like to share with you. Its some strange thing that haapend to me yesterday. Its not that I have never been to any religious place ever. Most of you know that I visit temple every Tuesday. It is also not that I have never been to a religious place from some other religion. I have been to Mosque twice (once in Lucknow Imambara and second time in Delhi Lal Quila), been to Church thrice ( to my school church, in Italy and in London, once also attended prayer). But till yesterday I had never been to a GURUDWARA. I always had a curiosity that how Sikhs offer their prayers. But luckily or unluckily never got a chance. And now I am going to share my experience I got when for the first time I entered in a guru darbar. Lets briefly describe situations in which I reached here.
I was to go to Chandni Chowk to do some shopping with my aunty. So she called me their and told me to wait outside famous SHEESHGANJ GURUDWARA their. Its martyrdom place of guru Teg Bahadur also. It was evening time around 6:00 PM and I was waiting outside for her. Mercury was too high and monsoon seems to knocking at Delhi. But yet not raining.
Suddenly a person came to me and told me, " I am seeing you standing outside gurudwara from last couple of minutes. Either you go inside or please move from here." I had no other option to go inside. So honestly speaking, it was not my faith which brought me there. As I was about to enter, a sardar jee with a long Bhala stopped me. I thought, "May be non-sikhs are not allowed". But how the hell does he know that I am not sikh? He pointed his finger to a bin. Lots of small cloths were there in it. He told me to wear one. So finally I got his point that you cant enter a gurudwara Bare-head. I opted for my handkerchief ( I dont know why I hesitated to wear one from them). I tied it one my head and entered inside.
It was a large hall with a large carpet on the floor. At one end of hall, there was a kind of platform on which some thing was kept. Near to him three persons were sitting and singing some religious song. I first gazed at the architecture of whole building. There were lots of chandeliers and big lights. The hall was two floored with upper floor used for some offices. I went inside and sat down quietly on the carpet.
Then something strange happened. I found myself filled with some strange feeling. I was out of this world with no body around me. I don't know where I was, what I am listening to, what I am looking at.This strange thing have never happened to me. Even in temple also, lots of vague thoughts keep coming to me when I am praying to God. But here, It was so quiet, so blank. No thoughts, pure SHANTI. I dont know how much time I was there. When aunty touched me from back I was back to earth.
I had never had such a feeling so I thought to share with you. May be any of you have felt the same. We go to religious places so many times but few times present their mently. Same thoughts keep haunting there also. But NOT THIS TIME.
My apologies are again with them whome religious sentiments are hurted by any words above. I have just written truth.
