โ€œWhen I visited the Golden Temple, you know you go up the stairs and then down the stairs, when I went up the stairs and saw it for the first time, it took me minutes to move because I broke down crying over there once again. It all sounds like I was just a crybaby or something but, it just felt like I was transported to a different universe or something where everything was extremely peaceful. I stayed in Amritsar for two nights, the first night I didn't know how cold it could be so I couldn't stay till 3 AM but the next night I went and waited till they opened the doors, went inside as well.โ€

โ€œgo and stay at the Niwas at Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple). spend more if not, most, of your time inside the Golden temple - You can do Seva in the kitchen, go and read in the library and learn more about Sikhi in all respects, do more meditation, and eat all meals there (the food is literal prayers). Trust me, it will be the best 5 days of your life in thereโ€
