Podcasts about sikhi

What happens when Sikhi dissolves caste and two men from opposite ends of the social hierarchy unite to build an empire? In this episode of The Sikh Renaissance we explore the forgotten alliance between a Khatri and a Jatt that gave rise to a Misl and helped shape the Khalsa Raaj. From the legacy of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh to the rise of Gulab Singh and Tara Singh Ghaiba, this episode traces how Sikh philosophy created the conditions for an alliance that Hindu caste hierarchy would have made impossible. Statecraft, brotherhood and empire building: This is Sikh history unfiltered.

Sikhi is the religion of the underdog. And no Sikh in history embodied this more completely than Sultan ul Qaum Jathedar Jassa Singh Alhuwalia.Born fatherless into poverty during one of the darkest periods of Sikh history, Jassa Singh rose from feeding horses for the Budha Dal to being selected Panth Patshah by the Sarbat Khalsa. He conquered Lahore, sat on the Mughal throne in Delhi, fought Ahmad Shah Durrani face to face multiple times, and rebuilt the Darbar Sahib.This episode draws on Dr. Ganda Singh's definitive biography and primary Sikh, Afghan and Persian sources to tell the true story of Alhuwalia. Including the untold political intrigue of Jai Singh Kanihyaa's manipulation of the Misl system, the real story behind the Alhuwalia and Ramgarhia conflict, and what Jassa Singh's final political vision for Punjab actually was.As historian Hari Ram Gupta wrote, in the person of Jassa Singh Alhuwalia, the Guru actually made a sparrow kill hawks.This is the Sikh leader they forgot. This is The Sikh Renaissance.

I launched the Heterodox Jewish Woman substack in February 2024 primarily to share my work on the gender issue as this affects Judaism. Quickly the focus broadened to include broader issues such as the tensions between liberalism and identity and the challenges of multiculturalism. I intended to edit and make fully public my series of lectures from 2022 and 2023 on the challenges of trans inclusion in halachah (Jewish law). Quickly, however, my professional life became consumed by a very different challenge: that of a very inappropriate Religious Education syllabus that was being rammed through the six local authorities in Berkshire in the autumn of 2024. These proposals included (1) not referring to religions but only to “religious worldviews” (2) introducing classroom activities in which children were encouraged to rank beliefs about life after death based on how “likely” they were and (3) editing out the word Israel shortly before the syllabus was due for a final vote. You may remember my post about this matter at the time. The issues involved were intriguingly similar to those in the gender debate: A postmodern critique of the concept of “world religions” as well-defined belief systems had led to the introduction of the new more “inclusive” concept of a “worldview” which, ironically, led to an excessive focus on religions as belief systems (views), meaning that Judaism (which is not a belief system) could not be taught authentically.Fortunately, the joint efforts of a coalition of Jews and Hindus succeeded in forcing a revision of that syllabus across several local authorities. Supporting that process and the aftermath has consumed my life ever since, and I have ended up catapulted into an (unofficial) leadership position in the RE community, something I could never have foreseen!Religious Education in the UK has now become the overwhelming focus of my professional life to the neglect of this page. I have come to realise that, if Jews in the UK are to have a future, this depends on us being understood by those we live with. The UK is unique in the English-speaking world, and also unique among countries with a significant Jewish community. Here we have, built into our school curricula, the principle that children should learn about the religions around them. The potential for high-quality Judaism teaching in non-Jewish schools to act as a preventative against antisemitism in the UK is therefore massive: a gift that we neglect at our peril, given the risks we face as a community. As I explained previously on this page, good RE can be far more effective at addressing hatred than typical “diversity training”, which is often ineffective or even counterproductive. However, we have to contend with “experts” in RE who believe that they understand Judaism when they do not and who tend to determine how Judaism is taught. This issue dwarfs all others as something for which I can personally make a real difference, and it has become the all-consuming focus of my life. Currently, the UK sits at a crossroads. For decades, RE has been a statutory subject in UK schools, but yet not part of the National Curriculum that guides teaching in all other statutory subjects. Instead, each local authority has determined its own RE syllabus by holding an Agreed Syllabus Conference (ASC) approximately every five years. Thus, the proposed syllabus in Berkshire that I helped to challenge and amend in 2024-2025.However, in November 2025, a momentous decision was made by the current UK Government, to explore bringing RE into the National Syllabus for the first time. This decision is widely seen as necessary, since with the rise of academy trusts, many schools now are not under the auspices of any local authority and therefore have no statutory RE syllabus at all. Some schools use this freedom to be creative and teach RE well, but practice is variable. Moreover, many local authorities struggle to find minority faith representatives to attend an ASC, or to sit on the associated SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education). The quality of Judaism teaching is therefore highly variable and often driven by national RE advising companies and bodies, with Judaism lessons and learning objectives typically produced by non-Jews. This leads to distorted teaching, and distorted priorities. Notwithstanding the positives, a potential national curriculum in RE is also fraught with dangers. Will Judaism get the attention it deserves? Who will write specifications for the teaching of Judaism? We cannot assume that it will be those most qualified to do this job. The individuals who wrote the problematic Berkshire syllabus that we challenged are now in high positions in the RE community, and we must assume that their views have not changed. We must face up to the real possibility that the same sorts of mistakes that were attempted in Berkshire could occur on the national level, making authentic teaching of Judaism to non-Jewish children difficult.Thus, in November 2025, in order to make sure that any national Judaism specification would be written by those who are qualified to produce it, I reached out to other Jews who work in RE. The outcome is the Association of Jewish Religious Education Professionals (AJREP.UK), which I now “coordinate”. AJREP brings together two types of people: (1) those who, like me, teach Judaism in non-Jewish schools or assist such teaching, but who are not currently classroom teachers and (2) Jewish RE teachers in non-Jewish schools (not Jewish studies teachers). We need both types of people as they bring different skills to the table. Coming back to the broader RE world, from December 2025 through March 2026 a process known as sector engagement took place to explore whether consensus could be reached on a general framework for a national syllabus for RE. This was managed by an Expert Advisory Group (EAG) led by Vanessa Ogden CBE. Various groups were included in these conversations, and with some difficulty, AJREP was able to have it's voice heard. This resulted in “Draft Programmes of Study”, a short document which was presented by the EAG to the Secretary of State for Education at the end of March. Then on July 3, the UK Government responded to the Draft Programmes of Study (still unpublished), announcing that a public consultation on RE in the national syllabus will commence in September. You can find the response of AJREP here. So we stand now on the threshold of this national consultation, which may very well lead to a national syllabus in RE: a true watershed moment for the discipline. My focus now is to lead AJREP to advise on that process, hopefully producing a national content standard for the teaching of Judaism in RE, and then campaigning to have this standard adopted. I do not anticipate that this will be easy, as we will have to counter those who have their own external agendas related to Judaism.Which brings me back to the new Substack Judaism Religious Education which I have launched, in collaboration with my husband and business partner, Rabbi Zvi Solomons. For the foreseeable future, I will be posting (almost) exclusively there, providing (1) guidance for RE teachers and advisors on what Judaism is and how it should be taught (2) reviews of Judaism teaching materials, so that teachers and advisors know which to use and which to avoid (3) interviews with experts on RE Judaism (4) analytical pieces on RE more generally and how this affects the teaching of Judaism, including how Judaism is related to other ethnoreligions such as Hinduism and Sikhi and (5) Judaism content that could potentially be used in the classroom or in training RE teachers.For the moment, I will be cross-posting these materials onto this page, but that will be temporary.

From the dancefloor to wearing full Bana 24/7; Dharmveer Singh's journey to Sikhi is one of the most honest, inspiring and relatable stories we've ever heard on this podcast. Born and bred in Edinburgh, Scotland, Dharmveer grew up in a typical Punjabi household, Gurdwara on Sundays, meat on the table, and clubs on the weekends. But something was pulling him in a different direction. A cousin's invitation to a Rehras Sahib class, a moment in a nightclub mirror, and a heart attack at just 38 years old all became turning points on a path that would lead him to Amrit, full Bana, and a life devoted to Waheguru. This is a conversation about faith, identity, family pressure, and what it really means to live as a Gursikh in today's world, told with complete honesty, warmth, and a healthy dose of Scottish humour.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: 0:00 Key Moments 2:28 Introduction 6:56 Dharmveer Singh's Background: Growing Up Sikh in Scotland 8:57 Previous Lifestyle: Clubbing & Dancing to Hip-Hop 10:07 Dancing in a Bhangra Music Video on Arthur's Seat 11:19 Drinking & Peer Pressure: Being Transparent 13:17 His Father's Influence: The Principles That Kept Him Grounded 15:07 Keeping His Kes: The Moustache Biting Story 17:12 The Turning Point: A Cousin's Invitation 18:53 Discovering Rehras Sahib: The Sounds That Hit His Soul 20:21 Becoming Vegetarian: A Quiet Sign from Waheguru 24:43 What the Rehras Sahib Classes Really Meant 26:32 Bhatt Sikh Heritage: Who Are the Bhatts & Their Contribution to Gurbani 31:22 Exploring the Path of Sikhi: Karpan, Chola & Walking Out of the Club 41:07 Clubbing & Sikhi: The Mirror Moment That Changed Everything 44:31 Sikhi Is a Journey, Not a Race (Sahaj Pakke So Meetha) 49:40 The Road to Amrit: Being Told He Couldn't Take It Alone 53:57 Love in Sikhi: What Keeps Him in Chardi Kala 58:35 Challenges & Backlash: Being Pulled Off Stage 1:02:19 Wearing Bana 24/7: Job Interview in Full Bana & the Kirpan at Work 1:08:16 Spreading Sikhi: Schools, Police Stations & the Shetland Islands 1:13:13 The Impact of Sikhi: Becoming a Better Version of Himself 1:15:41 Advice for Those Earlier on Their Sikhi Journey 1:18:48 Struggling Through COVID: Losing Sangat & the Gurdwara Closing 1:20:51 Heart Attack at 38 & the Weight Loss Journey 1:27:14 Final Message: Stay in Chardi Kala 1:31:54 Quick Fire Round 1:37:40 Word from the Previous Guest: Shanti 1:38:28 Conclusion If this episode inspired you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.

What did Guru Nanak really think about Hindus and Muslims? In this episode we go straight to Gurbani and let the Guru speak for himself. Contrary to what Hindus, Muslims and even some Sikhs claim, Guru Nanak did not respect or validate either religion. He took nothing from them. In his own words he described Hindus as cowards and traitors who abandoned truth for social acceptance, and Muslims as tyrants who used religion to justify oppression. This is not interpretation. This is Gurbani. The Sikh Renaissance cuts through centuries of revisionism and interfaith mythology to deliver Sikhi's unfiltered truth directly from the source.

Hindus claim their ancestors raised their elder sons as Sikhs out of genuine devotion to the Khalsa. Puneet Sahani and others repeat this claim endlessly in both English and Punjabi. This episode proves it is a lie, documented, evidenced and irrefutable.The historical record tells a completely different story. Bhai Sukha Singh Shahid Mari Kambo converted of his own free will and his own family drugged him, cut his sacred Kes and killed his infant daughter. Master Tara Singh converted and his father threw him out of the house. Pandit Har Kishan converted and his orthodox Hindu father fainted in Maharajah Ranjit Singh's court cursing him for destroying Sanataan. Professor Sahib Singh converted and the family Pandit grabbed his belongings declaring him polluted. Swami Ram Tirath studied the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, became Sikh and his family disowned him immediately.Gurdino was never a Hindu practice. Giani Gian Singh's Shamsher Khalsa documents how Sehajdhari Khatris and Jatts raised their elder sons as Khalsas as a deliberate generational investment in Sikhi. The Saakhi of Guru Amardas Mahlla 3rd and Guru Arjan explicitly differentiate Sikh identity from Hindu identity centuries before the Khalsa was created. The Sehajdharis were never Hindus. Gurdino was never a Hindu gift.Delivered in Punjabi for the Punjabi speaking Sikh community globally.

Hindus like Puneet Sahani claim their ancestors raised their elder sons as Sikhs out of genuine devotion. This episode proves that claim is a lie backed by nothing but Hindu nationalist myth making originating with Lala Lajpat Rai and Savarkar.The historical record tells a completely different story. Bhai Sukha Singh Shahid Mari Kambo converted to Sikhi of his own free will and his own family drugged him, cut his Kes and killed his infant daughter. Master Tara Singh converted and his father threw him out of the house. Pandit Har Kishan converted and his orthodox Hindu father fainted in Maharajah Ranjit Singh's court cursing the Maharajah for destroying Sanataan. Professor Sahib Singh converted and the family Pandit grabbed his belongings calling him polluted. Swami Ram Tirath studied the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, became Sikh and his family disowned him.This is the Hindu record on Sikh conversion. Not devotion. Rejection. Violence. Disownment.Gurdino was never a Hindu practice. It was always a Sikh institution. Giani Gian Singh's Shamsher Khalsa documents how Sehajdhari Khatris and Jatts raised their elder sons as Khalsas as a generational investment in Sikhi not as a favour to Sikhs. The Saakhis of Guru Amardas and Guru Arjan explicitly differentiate Sikh identity from Hindu identity centuries before the Khalsa was even created.The Sehajdharis were never Hindus. Gurdino was never a Hindu gift. And the myth that Hindus raised their sons for the Khalsa is exposed completely in this episode.

Dr. Nasir Akhtar claims Wazir Khan was a sinner acting against Islam when he ordered the execution of the Chote Sahibzade at Sirhind. This episode exposes that claim as a deliberate and calculated lie.What Dr. Nasir Akhtar conceals is Surah Al-Kahf of the Quran which explicitly sanctions the execution of children who will grow up to spread kufr and fitnah. Wazir Khan was not acting against his faith. He was acting in complete accordance with it. Dr. Nasir Akhtar knows this which is why he never calls Aurangzeb a kafir despite his own misconstruction of the term, because contemporary Mughal sources explicitly confirm Aurangzeb killed Sikhs for Islam not for political reasons.Dr. Nasir Akhtar is not an isolated academic. He belongs to the same school of thought as Puneet Sahani. Where Sahani attacks Sikhs openly for resisting Hindutva, Akhtar does it subtly, presenting Muslims as viable Sikh allies while concealing centuries of Hindu Muslim cooperation against Sikh sovereignty in Punjab.The Chote Sahibzade died for Sikhi. The historical record confirms it. The theological sources confirm it. This episode proves it.

In this episode, Mangal Singh Nihang explores how British colonial rule reshaped Sikh society by breaking collective unity and fostering hyper-individualism. He explains how this shift moved Sikhs away from a warrior-based, community-driven identity toward a more individualised and passive form of spirituality.The discussion focuses on the misunderstanding of the Five Vices (Panj Vikar) in Sikhi. Rather than being forces to eliminate, traditional Sikh thought emphasizes controlling and directing these human impulses with discipline. Mangal Singh argues that as external pressures and state control reduced the need for self-reliance and resistance, Sikhs gradually lost the practical framework that once allowed them to channel these forces effectively.Drawing on history and Sikh philosophy, this conversation challenges modern interpretations and asks whether key aspects of Sikh identity have been diluted over time.

In this episode, we examine the legacy of the legendary Akali Phula Singh and what true Sikh leadership looks like. Known for his uncompromising discipline and fearless accountability, Akali Phula Singh held even the most powerful rulers to the highest Khalsa standards. We contrast this with the state of modern Nihangs and Sikh leaders today, questioning where that same courage and integrity has gone. This episode challenges listeners to reflect on leadership, Panthic responsibility, and the cost of compromise in Sikhi.

From feeling lost in faith to finding “home” in the Gurdwara, Ram Kaur Bhenji shares her powerful journey into Sikhi. Raised in London with Caribbean roots, Ram Kaur describes how her search for truth led her to Sikh teachings, seva, and eventually the life-changing decision to take Amrit. In this episode we discuss: • Losing belief and searching for truth • Researching Sikhi and the first visit to the Gurdwara (Southall, Park Avenue) • The transformative power of Langar & Seva • Amrit: surrender, discipline, and what changed after • Dastaar, identity, and walking through life with confidence • Practical advice for anyone exploring Sikhi If you would like to share your story, contact: inspire@findingsikhi.com Subscribe for more real journeys in the Finding Sikhi Series.

A Diwali / Bandi Chhor Divas Special | Finding Sikhi SeriesThis Diwali, as the world celebrates light over darkness and freedom from captivity, we share the powerful story of Dilveer Singh, a man who truly lived that message. Dilveer grew up in a typical Punjabi Sikh household, but with little Sikhi in his life. As a teenager, he got caught in the wrong crowd, falling into drug and alcohol addiction that eventually led to prison. It was inside those prison walls, in the darkest place of his life; that Dilveer discovered the light of Guru Sahib. Through Sikhi, he found freedom not just from addiction, but from the pain and emptiness that once defined him.

In this epic fourth part of our podcast series, we follow Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's incredible journey across the eastern lands of India — a chapter filled with blessings, miracles, and timeless lessons. From leaving Bakala Sahib and founding Anandpur Sahib, to travelling across countless villages, Guru Ji spreads light wherever they go — healing the sick, humbling kings, guiding seekers, and establishing new centres of Sikhi. This episode takes you through rarely heard stories — from the Makho Daint encounter, the Muslim Pir's transformation, to the miraculous birth of Sri Gobind Rai Ji (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) in Patna Sahib. It's a journey of grace, power, and divine purpose that reminds us how the Guru's travels were never ordinary — they were missions of awakening.

In this podcast, we are invited to pause and reflect: What does Sikhi actually say about death? How are we meant to face it, understand it, and live in its awareness? Drawing on translations, commentaries, and insights from The Guru Granth Sahib Project, as well as Sikh history and tradition, listen as we explore how Gurmat offers a distinct perspective—one that transforms not only our understanding of death, but also our relationship with life itself.Featuring: Jasleen Kaur (https://sikhri.org/people/jasleen-kaur)Santbir Singh (https://sikhri.org/people/santbir-singh) Surender Pal Singh (https://sikhri.org/people/surender-pal-singh)Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B6RJwdL9xts

Through this English audiobook, experience an authentic Sikhi guide to Naam Simran (meditation) through a historic discourse of Sant Ishar Singh Ji (Rara Sahib), a practical “map” of the inner journey, from understanding Naam to the stages of Simran and spiritual states that unfold with practice. This English audiobook is based on Sant Ji's bachans recorded in London (Finchley), U.K. in 1974, later transcribed and translated into English for Sangat. It explores: What is Naam? Who is Vaheguru? Sat–Chit–Anand, true happiness, the stages of spiritual enlightenment, deepening concentration in Simran, and experiences at the Dasam Duar (10th spiritual gate) and beyond. “What use is a map, if you do not follow it to its destination?” If you are serious about building a daily Simran routine, this audiobook provides both the framework and the mindset needed to begin properly and continue consistently.

In this episode, we explore the second Sikh-Mughal conflict of 1634, centered on Bibi Kaulan, a woman who boldly embraced Sikhi. Discover how Guru Hargobind and the Sikhs fought not just battles, but for the right of an individual to follow their conscience. Hear the daring, nonchalant, and rebellious spirit of the Guru as he challenged oppressive authority. This story highlights courage, faith, and the fight for spiritual freedom in Sikh history.

This episode uncovers a largely ignored story in Sikh history and contemporary experience: Brahmins who embraced Sikhi and faced betrayal, ostracism, and persecution from their own communities. From Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh, high-caste individuals chose spiritual truth over social safety, paying a steep price for conscience and conviction. A revealing exploration of power, caste, and courage.

In this episode, we uncover the story of Gangu Brahmin, who initially adopted Sikhi not out of faith but to exploit Sikhs for personal gain. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji saw through his deceit, Gangu regressed back into the Hindu faith, enraged by his exposure. Humiliated, he later struck back in an act of vengeance against the Guru's family, driven by greed and immoral desires. This episode challenges attempts to deny his existence and reveals the full scope of his betrayal.

The Sacred text of Sikhs begins with the idea that there is one creative force that is the sound of all of creation. That Creative Force is what is! Everything is part of that Oneness. There is no “other.” Listen as Raman Singh presents a religious way of thinking about caring that starts in a different place. If all of creation is one, then what? If there is no other, then what about Caring for the other, for the stranger? Raman Singh starts out this podcast by causing us to reconsider - possibly think in a  profoundly different way - about who is the “other.”

This episode explores the remarkable life of Jathedar Kanwaljit Singh Vaheguru of the Khalistan Liberation Organization. The story traces his unusual journey from growing up within a cult environment to his eventual conversion to Sikhi, a transformation that profoundly shaped his identity and purpose.The episode examines the questions and struggles he faced throughout his life as he sought meaning and direction after leaving the restrictive environment of his upbringing. It chronicles his path to becoming a Jathedar (leader) within the Khalistan Liberation Organization, exploring how his unique background and spiritual conversion influenced his activism and leadership.The podcast also reflects on his death and the legacy he left behind, both within the Sikh community and the Khalistan movement, considering how his personal journey of transformation continued to resonate beyond his lifetime.

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Sikh supremacist Baba Dip Singh Shahid (1682-1757), one of Sikhi's most revered warrior-saints. Born during a period of intense persecution, Baba Dip Singh was among the first Sikhs initiated into the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in 1698.A devoted member of the Khalsa, he dedicated years to hand-copying the Guru Granth Sahib while also becoming a formidable military leader of Misl Shahid. His legacy is defined by his ultimate sacrifice: at age 75, he led a force to liberate the Golden Temple from Afghan invaders. Mortally wounded in battle, Sikh tradition holds that he continued fighting with his severed head until his last breath.His story remains a powerful symbol of unwavering faith, courage, and the willingness to sacrifice everything for one's beliefs and community.

In this episode, we explore the profound concept of Hukam in Sikhi, arguing that this foundational principle is best understood as "reality" itself. Moving beyond common translations like "divine will" or "cosmic order," this discussion examines how Hukam represents the totality of existence as it is—encompassing both the seen and unseen, the material and spiritual dimensions of life.

Veteran historian Dr. Balwant Singh Dhillon returns to the Sikh Renaissance to discuss his latest book on the Hukamnamahs (edicts) of the Sikh Gurus.After almost a near-century, Dr. Dhillon is the first historian to review the extant Hukamnamah manuscripts and recompile them. In this episode he discusses his various findings, what these manuscripts reveal, and the multiple fabrications he identified on his scholarly journey.More importantly, these Hukamnamahs counter the myth of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, being a pacifist ascetic meditating his life away until called for Guruship. Contrastingly, they reveal an intelligent statesman and an astute Gurmukh engaged in both political maneuvering and converting the masses to Sikhi.Listen to find out more!

Self-professed Sikh rationalists and western academia have created a myth that the Sikhi of Guru Nanak is inherently different to the Sikhi of his successors, especially Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Khalsa. In this episode, we refute their argument using Guru Nanak's own words from the Guru Granth Sahib itself.Listen to find out more!

What Really Happened Inside Darbar Sahib in June 1984?In this powerful first-hand account, Bibi Satwant Kaur Ji – daughter of Bhai Amrik Singh Ji and granddaughter of Sant Giani Kartar Singh Ji – shares her emotional experience of the attack on Sri Darbar Sahib during Operation Blue Star.

Forty-one years ago, the Indian army stormed the sacred Sri Darbar Sahib in Amritsar to suppress the Sikh civil rights movement. The Indian state, subsequently, incited a Sikh genocide thereafter to arrest the fallout from the storming.Fast forward four decades later and Sikhs themselves are abetting their own continuing genocide by intermixing modernist/postmodernist ideologies with Sikhi that erode its religiopolitical base.We are joined by the plain-spoken Nihang Mangal Singh who denounces fractional infighting among Sikhs, pandering to anti-Sikh ideologies, and who identifies the Sikh hunger for moral validation as being the Panth's greatest Achilles heel in the 21st century.This episode is politically incorrect, has its fair share of pejoratives, is scathing in its denouncements of modern Sikh intelligentsia but it also showcases the anger many Sikh youth have towards their own elders who have failed in preserving the Khalsa's sacrosanct image as a warrior-saint rooted in this world.For otherworldly gains, we are betraying the sacrifices our forefathers made in this world for our liberty.Listen and be shocked.Disclaimer: *Disclaimer: views endorsed and voiced by our guests, on various Jathebandis and Sikh figures, are not necessarily our own.

Raised in a traditional Muslim Bengali family, Haneet struggled with feelings of disconnection, depression, and fear of judgement when questioning her faith.Everything changed when her husband began coming closer to Sikh teachings, and she first heard the Naam Simran he was listening to.
