I am a 30 y/o male born into a Punjabi family in Canada. I currently reside in the UK.
I was raised with teachings of Sikhi in my youth passed on to me by my maternal grandmother. I explored these further in my adolescence with a tutor that played a large role in my development. Much of my learning occurred on my own, however, and I have explored these teachings on my own in my travels.
I struggle at times to merge the cultural and racial focus of the Sikh community at times with these teachings. Still, several years ago I began to engage Sikhi in a far more direct and proactive manner and this has invariably brought me closer to the geosocial group that is the Punjabi Sikh community. I have found that those lessons are anchored to the ground by the animated soil that is this current generation of Gurbani's stewards. At the moment, this happens to be the Punjabi Sikh community.
And so, it is here I have begun my search for a partner to walk my path in this life with.
As of this moment, I am neither a Kesadari or Amritdari Sikh. I cannot confirm whether or not this will occur for me in this lifetime. But I have found that I have experienced truly boundless personal growth by structuring my life around "Gursikhi Jeevan". That growth is continuing but I have come to a point where I can no longer walk it on my own.
The time has come for me to find a partner in order to carry on that path.
"The highest spiritual path is that of a householder" is a lesson I have taken to heart. But I can't do that by myself! : )
I've registered myself on the Hounslow Gurdwara Assisted Matrimonial Service but am eager to utilize any suitable tools or alternative options.
Apologies if I have posted this in a less than suitable forum and if so do move it where it needs to be!
Primarily I am looking for alternative options to the Hounslow Gurdwara Assisted Matrimonial Service to aid me in my search! But if you do know anyone... : )
Thanks for reading!
