Hello, I am new to Sikhism relatively but find the philosophy fascinating and wish to take Amrit. I have attended a local gurdwara with a friend and his wife. I am married to an Agnostic Buddhist who has no problem with my interest in taking Sikhism into my heart.
I teach college art classes. I am a mom and have a young son. I do sculpture and enter my ceramic work in shows. I have been to India and many places in the world, and I have explored many religions but to date have found nothing more interesting than Sikhism-so open, so welcoming, but strong and fierce in defending their rights throughout such a relatively short and tumultuous history! So admirable! They have spread the gamuts from being artists, militia personnel, writers, musicians, painters....I love the diversity and Guru welcomes it all. Waheguru!
Thank you so welcoming me.

Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ki Fatej
Sat Sri Akal, my name is Jaspreet Singh. I'm 27 living in Chicago, still in school. Lost touch with Sikhism after moving to the States, but beginning the slow journey back.
This website has been helpful in answering questions and to find some quick sat sangat.
Thanks.
All the best.

Gurfateh!
I did not tell in my presentation but i come to Sikhism wile learning about ancien indo-europeans /arians culture and religion and and their modern dessendants i was scientific minded but realised the limits of science. I became a Sikh by the Grace of the Guru and now my mind is gided by Gurbanis and the Sangat and accept
Akaal Purak Will as the best even when it seems difficult ,and know that nature (as describe by science )is Akaal Purak own Manifestation .Those who love Gurbanis truely love Waheguru who is the suprime Reality and love the truth :If peace is Akaal-Purak will it is the best , if war is His will it is the best.We have no power to live or to die . All depend on His will.Akaal Purak (and His Will) is unchanging ,always the same so when Gurbani tell us about Sat-Yug It mean that at that the time some of the ancestors of those who become Sikhs were folowing the same Sanatan Dharma(eternal will of Waheguru) as the Sikhs.So the Mission of Guru Nanak is to reestablish the SatYug eternal dharma (alowing for the evolution of the way of life)and to finish with social evels and superstitions that dominate the society since after the SatYug.
So by reading (or listening/reciting),understanding (with translation when necessary) ,meditating and obeying Gurbanis and attending the Sat sangat one atune oneself to Waheguru's Will .

First of all welcome to SPN. And secondly -- your idea is very good. Please enjoy your time in the forum discussions. You may find that the forum section for Sikh Youth is a good place to start. I would also encourage you to start a blog about this.
The blog link is at the top of every page. If you need help creating an SPN blog any mod will help you.
Sat Nam
and good to meet you,
Antonia

Welcome Wordster ji
Policy talk is a favorite pastime of some of the SPN membership. Don't let it scare you. Read it and form your own opinion. You don't have to participate in the policy talk to enjoy all their is to enjoy on SPN.
I see that you found Introducing Myself -- it does fluster me.
Welcome once again -- check out all the forum sections. We look forward to having conversations with you.

Greetings to all members of SPN. I am a liberal *** from the US interested in learning more about Sikhism. I had a non-religious Sikh friend in High School and found the intersections between our families and backgrounds very enlightening.
I look forward to speaking with you and learning.
