[QUOTE="Suntink, post: 89327, member: 7339"] Just Informing People on unsafe changes in Sikhism and various media outlets, no Sect Bashing included. Just Informing and open for positive debate. Dear Sir or Madame/ Friend, Through meeting people, listening to television shows, radio broadcasts, reading a wide range of information, using 3ho services, listening from their prayer tracks, purchasing their CDs, seeing information and learning their form of Sikhism and seeing regular Sikh. Also I would like to inform you that the most popular website for Sikhs, [URL="http://www.sikhnet.com/"]www.sikhnet.com[/URL], is based at Espanola, New Mexico and always supports a 3HO Sikh agenda. On the webmaster’s blog [URL="http://www.mrsikhnet.com/"]www.mrsikhnet.com[/URL] he even tried to tell the Sikh public that we are forgetting that Yoga was once part of our religion.
