Glen Rock Gurudwara

"Awesome holy place with nice atmosphere and people best is you are fed well. Sunday is good time to visit."

"The tranquil space belies the hostility of the comically bellicose insiders trolling around to “correct” behaviors of visitors. My wife a Sikh in the truest sense, not militant, not iconoclastic, not ritualistic, but one that abides the otherwise good ways of being, wanted to try this gurudwara. She has a service dog with paperwork who we left in the car respecting the norms of the place. When we were leaving she let the dog out as we walked around the grounds in front of the parking lot. As dogs do, our dog peed on a nearby bush, not copiously, not disrespectfully but only out of absolute necessity - something we did not notice. But there was this lady, a zealot and spy from their department of animal transgressions that pounced on my wife and barked at her. Now, as a service dog he is allowed by law, but she insisted that it was very wrong of him and us. We declined to engage in the fine parts of this soft localized law as my wife was heavily pregnant (stress not needed)and we were leaving anyway. This mistress of the order gathered a couple of saintly looking goons but very innocent of learning, from other departments of correction to catch up to our car as we were departing. As I paused to hear them out, they redoubled that it was very wrong for the dog to pee in the bush in the garden. The holiness therein however, as were told, could not be insulted by all the humans that urinate and defecate in the provided bathrooms on premises. When I insisted this kind of wisdom is inconsistent one of them unnecessarily pointed me to the exit gate which I was creeping towards. I recognized this guy as the one who had also unnecessarily chided me to use a piece from the headscarf bin as I was approaching it. I had half a mind after this incident to call the police on grounds of their violating service animal conventions, trolling a pregnant woman with a disability or just for turning holiness to silliness. I will however escalate the matter to the gurudwara leadership anticipating their committee will confer on this after sanctifying the victimized bush!"

"A clean and peaceful house of worship. For those that are unaware - Langar (blessed food) is always available to all in any gurdwara including here. Waheguru ji"

"The most humble abode to pray and be thankfull to god. The gurudwara serves free meals for all...the sewa community keeps the place clean and tidy. You can donate miney or material as per your wish."

"I came here to volunteer and take photographs at one of the meal preparations and my experience was nothing short of amazing. I felt welcomed by the people there and was able to learn a lot about their culture and practices. I truly recommend volunteering with this Gurudwara or visiting if you get the chance. The inside is very modern and the temple room was a wonderful sight to see!"
