Dear Sadh Sangat ji,
As the Executive Director, I am so proud of where we've brought SikhNet these last couple of years!
We continue building a dynamic, global team and growing our audience even as we are planning for more content and more expansion.
I have been out in the world, building relationships and partnerships for SikhNet, talking and listening at parliaments and conferences, and I have noticed many changes with regards to faith, religions and spirituality in the last number of years.
The lesson that Guru Nanak delivered hundreds of years ago - a lesson of Oneness prevalent through all - has become more perceptible and relevant in these times.
The Sikh tradition and its infinite wisdom is closer than ever to the heart of a world looking to find peace in the midst of complexity, of a world longing to be guided, not “told”; loved, not punished; accepted, not ridiculed.
As the Executive Director of SikhNet I am in a privileged position to witness this change taking place.
Every year there are so many worthy organizations lobbying for your precious donations in order to keep their work going. We do the same at SikhNet.
The important work we do cannot be over-emphasized. On a technical level we have accomplished much this year, but on a connection level, our work is infinite and all encompassing.
Youth find their way through difficult situations because of what they've learned through SikhNet Stories.
Thousands across the globe feel the sacred presence of Sri Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar through the Daily Hukamnama. Hundreds of thousands of Sikhs bask in the divine radiance of Guru Sahib's teachings, immersing themselves in the powerful Gurbani Kirtan available on SikhNet, uninterrupted, 24/7, all year round.
SikhNet stands for keeping it free, and undisturbed by commercial ads or paywalls.
While we have launched a modernized version of the Gurbani Media Center - called SikhNet Play play.sikhnet.com
while we have had one of our most productive years for producing original content,
and while we have reached new heights for traffic to the website from Google Search;
Our true mission is simple - we connect people with Guru ji.
Please give today. The future generations of Sikhi will thank you for it.
All Light in the Divine,
Ek Ong Kaar Khalsa Michaud
Executive Director, SikhNet
