Born in a Sikh family, the concept of langar grows with you as you grow that is somathing which I believed till yesterday, today I think my belief was wrong. Forty three summers gone and a meaning not understood, that’s some achievement. You may wonder why i am saying so – it is all beacause I spent large part of may day yesterday at The Langar at Sri Harmandir Sahib.
Some quick points before I get into what I learnt and what I need to unlearn:
If Langar is a process, it has the following six steps to it:
Procurement
Chopping of vegetables and pre cooking preperation
Cooking
Distribution
Cleaning of Utensils
and most important Hygine and constant cleaning of all premises and at all stages
More to come
