Sadh Sangat ji,
I had the honour of meeting the two pioneers of SikhNet - Guruka Singh Ji and Gurumustuk Singh Ji - when they informed me of their vision back in the last few years of the last century. I think Gurumustuk was just a teenager then!
Being from the old school, I could not envisage receiving news about Sikhs and Sikhi from around the globe at the click of a button! Living in Australia I had relied on the hard copy of The Sikh Review from Kolkata, India for the last 50 years!
Today I see that Sikhnet.com virtually serves millions of Sikhs around the globe - with articles by Sikh scholars on all topics relating to Sikhi and news, kirtan from a huge array of ragis and kirtenias, visual aids for children and other Sikhi-related services. I couldn't be prouder of SikhNet!
Though there are other Sikh portals, Sikhnet.com is my favourite because it is mainstream - for all Sikhs. For Sikhs living in remote parts of the globe, Sikhnet.com is virtual 'sangat' and 'satsang' for them, sometimes the only sangat they have. My daughters and now my grandchildren use the services of Sikhnet.com for their Sikhi education.
Sikhnet.com has been serving the Sikh Panth for almost a quarter of a century! I have seen SikhNet grow and expand its services over all these years, but I also know they have kept a very modest budget. I have seen how they have always preferred to do a lot of the work themselves. Now I see them growing in their services and growing in their needs as they expand their offerings and their team.
As a long-time friend of SikhNet, I am reaching out to you to ask you to support my friends at SikhNet. Especially this year when almost everyone has to be virtual all the time, SikhNet has been a light in the dark.
Nonprofits like SikhNet need your support in these trying times. I am offering you a special gift today - - make a donation of any size and receive a free download of Japji Sahib, recorded recently as a part of the Power Nitnem series. Please celebrate SikhNet with me and contribute today.
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ
Dya Singh
