Conversation about this article
1: Dr. D.P. Singh (New Delhi, India), November 26, 2010, 9:42 AM.
It has been wonderful to read the articles. These articles have been presented differently, which is very soothing. Keep it up. We - Sikhism - needs these type of presentations.
2: Baljit Singh Soni (Chino Hills, California, U.S.A..), November 26, 2010, 10:28 PM.
This looks to be an inspiring, informative and a must-attend for Sikhs. Hopefully, those not able to participate will be able to read and view parts of the seminar on this website.
