The Sikh Times
Established in 1999, The Sikh
Times is an independent, progressive, Internet-based,
voluntary, non-profit, media watchdog project directed
at compiling noteworthy news and analysis from around
the world on issues of concern to the global Sikh
community. Coverage topics include self-determination,
democracy, human rights, civil liberties, antiracism,
religion, and South Asian geopolitics. Via reviews,
biographical sketches, interviews, and media watch The
Sikh Times undertakes to disseminate to the Sikh
community a deep understanding of how various oppressed,
peripheral and minority communities and peoples cope
with challenges similar to those that confront the
Sikhs. It is hoped that a broadening of context and
perspective thus achieved will empower Sikhs to make
enlightened and informed decisions about their own
affairs.

Net
Sharing the Sikh Experience
SikhNet is
truly a labor of love. SikhNet went online for the first
time in 1983, as the first computer presence for Sikh
Dharma. Some of us used clunky Teletype terminals that
printed slowly - we had no computer screens to look at.
Others used early computers like the Kaypro (anyone
remember CPM?). The whole thing was run on a server
through GEnie and we connected at 300 baud! Harbhajan
Kaur and Mahan Singh in Millis Massachusetts were the
coordinators. The technology we used then seems
primitive now, but at the time it was very exciting to
us cyber-pioneers.

About Sikhism
Sikhism is founded on the teachings of Nanak and
nine successive gurus in fifteenth century Northern
India, is the fifth-largest organized religion in the
world. This system of religious philosophy and
expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat
(literally the counsel of the gurus) or the Sikh Dharma.
Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which in turn
comes from the Sanskrit root sisya meaning "disciple" or
"learner", or siks meaning "instruction."
The principal belief of Sikhism is faith in Vahiguru -
represented using the sacred symbol of ek-onkar, the
Universal God. Sikhism advocates the pursuit of
salvation through disciplined, personal meditation on
the name and message of God. A key distinctive feature
of Sikhism is a non-anthropomorphic concept of God, to
the extent that one can interpret God as the Universe
itself. The followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow
the teachings of the ten Sikh gurus, or enlightened
leaders, as well as the holy scripture entitled the Guru
Granth Sahib, which includes selected works of many
devotees from diverse socio-economic and religious
backgrounds. The text was decreed by Gobind Singh, the
tenth guru, as the final guru of the Khalsa Panth.
Sikhism's traditions and teachings are distinctively
associated with the history, society and culture of the
Punjab. Adherents of Sikhism are known as Sikhs
(students or disciples) and number over 23 million
across the world. Most Sikhs live in the state of Punjab
in India and, prior to the country's partition, millions
of Sikhs lived in what is now known as the Punjab
province of Pakistan. |
