I think some people may just joke about you being left handed as it is not the 'norm' but it does not matter

Just think how lucky are you tomorrow that Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee are coming to your house and blessing you with Seva. Whether you use your right hand or left hand does not matter.

Umm you shouldn't be going to the Mandir anyway, if you read Chaupai Sahib paath it says those who worship stones (idols) are fools. Whats with Sikhs these days, so many are going to the Mandir, and if you love Sikhi so much you wouldn't go worship rocks.

left hand in many cultures such as islam and india is the so called "dirty hand", the hand that is used to wipe your butt and stuff like that. so they keep the right hand clean for religious reasons etc.

as a sikh you don't need to worry about clean or unclean hands, its a load of bs. no one has ever told me it is bad. i use both my hands to do things. i use my right hand to write but i eat with my left hand (roti and crisps things like that).

god gave you 2 hands. use them!

[Guest sikh]

Yeah maybe they are just joking ,teasing ,

@Sikh I don't worship stones its that my best friend is Hindu and sometimes he go to Gurdwara with me and kadde I go to mandir with him ,besides I just worship one god

@chuck yeah thats the reason dirty hand thing

Guru Ji gave you two hands so you could receive his gifts by placing them together.

Some people dont have a choice as to which side to use. I know a lady whose right side does not function due to disability. I also had a problem with my right side for some time.

God sees everybody as equals, it does not matter which side you use. Like others have said if both sides function, use both.

If anyone says anything, slap them with your left hand to show it's just as good as your right!

All jokes aside, it doesn't matter in the slightest, unless your gunna learn kirtan or tabla, you may have to adjust your hand or saaj depending.

Yeah maybe they are just joking ,teasing ,

@chuck yeah thats the reason dirty hand thing

You can use any hand you want. These are exactly the kind of behams which our Gurus taught us not to be caught up in. What is much more important than what your preferred hand is whether or not you use those hands to do good in life.

And don't worry about going to the Mandar. Sikhism is tolerant of all religions. As long as you have faith in Waheguru and don't go to the mandar to do pooja or pray to idols you are more than fine to go. After all everyone is welcome to the Gurduara regardless whether they are Sikh or not.
