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.

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. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5626
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. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=5626
I hope all of you can offer me some guidance.
Thank you. | | The following members appreciate KEKaur Ji for the above message. | |

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.

Welcome to SPN!
If you are going to New York City, then by all means find the Richmond HIll Gurdwara in Queens. http://family.webshots.com/album/36235462ZESanC
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/photogall...ond-hill_7.htm
