New SPN'er Introductions

[Ambarsaria]

Sat Siri Akal everyone,

Glad to be here. This forum was referred to me by a friend. Have been reading into history of the Sikhs for 2 years now and then it just gradually transitioned into the spiritual of Sikhi. Have had a lot of support from a local Gurdwara I was living at in US but am in transition to moving back home Panama and only am aware of 1 Gurdwara in the entire country which will be 7 hrs away from me. So will have to rely mostly on virtual Sangat.

Glad to be here.

Andrea

Andrea welcome to spn. Let us know if you get stuck or need help on anything here.

Sat Sri Akal.

Welcome Andreay ji

Already you have made a difference. The spiritual journey...that is the journey of your life-time. Take it.

Whenever SPN can offer even a small crumb for you to take along, that makes our effort worthwhile.

Hello,

My name is Katharine.

I am a student who is about to graduate from college this coming June.

I feel that I need some spiritual guidance, and I have been seeking the religion which is right for me. So far, everything I've read about the Sikh religion fits with my way of thinking and the reality that I observe in the world.

When I was young I had a daycare provider who was a sikh-- her name is Joy Cash, and I believe I may have learned some habits and ways of thinking from her. She was part of my upbringing, and the other end was christianity as I went to private schools.

I am moving to New York City this coming July and I was searching for a place where I would be able to learn and possibly worship, when I stumbled across this site.

I hope all of you can offer me some guidance.

Thank you.

Katharine welcome to SPN. I am sure one of the members from USA will be able to provide further comments on Gurdwaras in Ny NY.

It is great that you had some visibility in childhood to Sikhism. The lights of childhood are eternal so your path should be bright.

Sat Sri Akal.

Welcome to SPN! welcomekaur

If you are going to New York City, then by all means find the Richmond HIll Gurdwara in Queens.

There is also a sangat at the Sikh Cultural Society in Richmond Hill in Queens.

These sangats add good gurmat teaching for adults and children. Good kirtan. And let us keep our hope high -- an atmosphere for learning, discussing, debating the elements of Sikhi. It is a diverse sangat. Queens itself is a rich treasure of ethnic and cultural diversity. So I hope you find what you are looking for. Remind me to look into other gurdwaras in the New York area for you. I am not certain what is there in Manhattan.

This is great. A photo essay of Sikhs in Queens. http://queens.about.com/od/photogalleries/ss/richmond-hill_7.htm

Chardi kala!

welcomekaur A warm welcome to all new members! My reply has been a little tardy-forgive me, life takes over! I hope you all find what you are looking for here and enjoy the visits & company.

Potter ji, I appreciate all the effort you are making on the halal issue. I feel it is very important to make the country aware and action is taken so we have freedom of choice. I am also in the UK currently so am very appreciative. We are currently dealing with my sister's school. :swordfight-kudiyan:
Andrea ji, I understand the difficulties you are facing with moving countries. I have done so several times!! Even when moving back to your home country it can take great adjustment, especially if you've been away for a while. If you need moral support feel free to get in touch. Cyber sangat is very valuable!

Katherine ji, congratulations on your graduation. There's a wealth of information here. Feel free to get in touch with any one of us or post on threads to get more answers and support.

Welcome all!

Hi,
I'm Sunita and very interested in educating myself about the contents of the Granth Sahib. I love hearing Gurbani but am constrained by not understanding Gurmukhi so I found your website useful.
tks

earthlyfire ji welcome to spn. You are stating yourself as a learner but I am sure can also be a great contributor perhaps in the Interfaith thread or other areas of spn. Please don't hesitate to contribute as we are all learners one way or another.

Sat Sri Akal.

Welcome to SPN welcomekaur welcomekaur

Nothing could be closer to the core of Sikhi than to know, read, learn SGGS. I am happy to see that you have this interest, and that in some measure SPN has contributed to your understanding.

Enjoy your hours with us.

Taj ji

Welcome to SPN. Probably you are going to find more than a few members here who will want to converse with you about areas where you have questions. You can also find a lot of information in the New to Sikhism section, and in Sikh Sikhi Sikhism regarding living as a Sikh. There are some very interesting discussions going right now. I encourage you to visit often and participate. Start threads too.

Hello everyone, I am from India, 25 years old, a very confused girl, who makes lots of mistakes and learns from them. I came to this site searching for an answer, got the answer and thought why not to stay here to clear all my doubts regarding religion and life.
I will make lots of mistakes, but would appreciate to correct me where I am wrong.
I hope I would never hurt or disappoint anyone here with my words.
Take care everyone.
God bless all.

 

[spnadmin]

Welcome to SPN insearchofpeace ji

It is wonderful to hear that you found an answer you were looking for here at SPN. And as far as mistakes go...well in my own life I have found that when I succeed I often do not know what worked. When I fail at something, at least then I know what did not work and will not do it again. Mistakes teach us, often more than success.

Thanks for joining us!

welcomekaur !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Katharine,

Spiritual guidance…… Most religions have spirituality in their teaching. How ever the real guidance comes from within. Sikhism is full of guidance listen and observe and you will find your true self
