Yes Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji went to mecca but he went to teach Gurmat.  The reason for the Guru going to mecca is the most important part, so why leave it out?  Leaving the reason out means you are purposely distorting history for your own views.

I'm not distorting anything bruv

The Mandir you're talking about I think is Baba Balak Nath. I have been there a few times. This Mandir does have different vibe to it. The main baba of the Mandir is some character. I have seen him beat up this guy who was possed by evil sprits. The guy was acting like a bull whilst the Baba was beating the evil spirits out of him.the pray hall was full at the time and everyone was watching this calmly lol, I can't say if this worked or not but I do believe in evil spirits curses etc. (but thats a whole different topic for different thread )

I dont see anything wrong in going to a Mandir, Just dont take part in the pooja of the murtis.

Iv been to baba balak naths main shrine in himachal pradesh, i dont believe in him but my family do. I found it a bit odd!   there were two goats and we had to touch their feet and do matha tek to them!  i was bare foot and their poo was everywhere!

the main shrine was a stone. for me as a sikh it felt odd bowing down to it but i just did it lol! women were not allowed near the shrine but i guess thats because baba balak nath was a bhramchari  so to respect his abode/area   women are not allowed to go near it.

You can go in to learn. Maharaj ji says that we should learn other granths of other religions but not to forget our own.

Basically a close family friend has asked my grandad (mona) to take them to a  mandir in Walsall for whatever reason as they don’t have a car. My dada ji has agreed to take them but it a bit unsure about the route and doesn’t have enough confidence to use the Tom Tom as it’s broken and faulty. 

I said I will go will with him and put the google maps satnav on my phone. I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with going as long as I don’t do namaskar to the moortiyan and take their parshad, I was just going to go in and sit down at the back and once they’re done come back. 

However when I told my other relatives (all are non amritdhari) they were like why are you going there? You’re not allowed to go in there! That’s wrong. 

I don’t think as a amritdhari I am doing anything wrong to go to a mandir if I just go to sit down and not worship. The only reason I am going is so that my grandad knows the route, if I was going to pray and seek advice from a pandit or do pooja would be different. 

Am I committing a sin? Would like to know sangats view

(I know there has been a recent “Hindu Sikh” thread, this has got nothing to do with that).

Guru Nanak went to Mecca. Your friends are sorely misinformed.
