Well i didn’t read everything that everyone has posted, but just a fleeting glimpse made me wonder that do we have a Right to comment on anyone’s personal choice….trully i don’t think so.
If someone doesn’t feel good about this entire thing just might simply ignore it and stop being a Moral Police.
It’s a personal choice entirely and one who wishes to ignore it can.
If they think they need to contribute to the Society why not to indulge their time and efforts in something more constructive like…why not volunteer and propogate Sikhism and spread more awareness among the new blood which is devoid of that…Join some NGO and help them.
Finally if u think you need to do something have the right attitude and as they say – ” Positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ”

It is a good concept and is a blessing for those who are staying out of punjab.all things started with good intent tend to get corrupted unless the checks are strong. let us keep the concept clean by having a check on ourselves.Self restraint is the best way to make this possible.
wishing all participants the best.

Amandeep just hating because he is not getting none. this is a positive step forward and will ensure that future young Sikhs enter into marriages with suitable partners that they have chosen for themselves. Chardi Klaa. well done

re: Amandeep’s comments about 3HO, Sikhnet and Giani Harbhajan Singh

I’ve been to Espanola and the Guru Ram Das Ashram there. I had never been there before and I have to say I found it inspirational. Some of the nicest people you’ll meet are there. As a Sikh, going there only re-affirmed and strengthened my belief in Guru Ji and the truth of Sikhi and its universal message for humanity (not that I needed a re-affirmation).

May Waheguru Ji bless the Khalsa who have been inspired by Giani Harbhajan Singh to keep the Bana and recite the Bani of Guru Ji and live as the children of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

regards,
Kaptaan.

Kaur Ji,

I think you have a very good point – but as with the people before me, I agree with Prabhu Singh. What caught my eye when I decided to post about thsi was that the services/mechanisms offered by Sikhnet give answers to questions like “do you cut/trim your hair?” and “do you do nitnem everyday” (paraphrased).

Also agree with Savraj Singh and Gurujot Singh – that this is a way for Sikhs to meet others at a similar place in their faith.

Once again Prabhu Singh makes a valid point.

I think Prabhu Singh Khalsa makes a very good point!

Kaur Ji,
I haven’t attended one of these events and was not aware of the application. I would support such questions being asked as the event is called “GurSikh Speed Meeting.” I think the whole point is that it is very hard to find a spouse that is a practicing Sikh. If the event allowed non-practicing Sikhs, it would be no different than any other Punjabi dating site/event/etc.
You’re right Sikhi is open to everyone, however some people put it at the forefront of their lives and hope to find a spouse that does the same. This seems like a good event for those people to meet each other.

I think our community definitely needs something like Gursikh Speed Meeting but something that is a little more open minded and accommodating unlike the Sikhnet meetings that require an application and answers to questions such as Do you cut or trim your hair. Sikhi is open to everyone and so Sikhnet Speed Meetings should not be restrictive in who attends the meetings.
