Amritsar - Golden Temple
Stef Hoffer, 31 May 2015
The 'Harmandir Sahib', perhaps better known as the Golden Temple, is the holiest Sikh gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar in India. It is the spiritual center for those who follow Sikhism, a religion based on the principles of honesty, purity, equality of all religions, fidelity, and self control.
The entire complex comprises of a large number of buildings, including the Golden Temple itself, guestrooms, a museum, and a big communal kitchen, the 'langar'. Providing free meals, the kitchen is open to people from all backgrounds and religions. It is estimated that between 60,000 and 80,000 pilgrims come to eat inside the langar after prayer every day.
Falls im Fernsehen nichts vernünftiges zu sehen ist, dann kann man sich ja das folgende lange Video (ca. 54 Minuten) anschauen.
Biggest Community Kitchen---Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar: A Table for 60,000 documentary
sikhseverywhere, 23 Jul 2017
"A Table for Sixty-Thousand" tells the inspiring story of how 60,000 free meals are prepared and served each day at the historic "Golden Temple" (Shri Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar, India where, for over 400 years, the Sikh practice of Langar, Free Community Kitchen, has ensured that good nutrition is a basic human right.
At the Golden Temple everyday (as of 2017 the average is 100,000) vegetarian meals are prepared and shared by the community. Anyone from anywhere in the world can participate in the preparation, cooking, serving, and sharing of the meal. The meal is prepared through the practical concept of seva (voluntary service of labor, material resources and, most importantly, companionship). Seva is a tenet of Sikhism and is done not as a charity, but as a tool to enhance and express one's own true worth.
