Hi friends,

For long haven't been in this DIR,
My question is to those who live in west,
is there any special celebration for GN Birthday? i've read that in India it takes two days starting a long preparation and complete recitation of the SGGS.

Is that the case in the west? and when will this year celebrate on wednesday or thursday?

Today i've tried to call few temples near by, but non answered, and i'd like to visit one on this special eve :)

so plz :help:

I think a more important question is how should it be celebrated ... Sad but true that Sikhs r not using this to spread more awareness within Sikhs and non sikhs

I will be visiting my local gurdwara for the first time today. Took me weeks to actually prepare for the occasion but alas here it is.

Really excited to go! :D

Greetings to all on Gurpurab :) . Marco ji , you visited Gurudwara ?

My friend, how r u doing?

Yes, i had the privilege sharing the people this happy event, even though i'm sure it's not comparable to one you do it over there :D

what i have noticed the attendancy even from those who decided to not follow the 5K's, but they were all at the event using the guests turbans like me :)
