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!

From Drug Addiction to Sikhi : Punjabi International Student's 3-Year Homeless Struggle in Canada Guest: Parvinder Singh Host: Gagandeep Singh, RED FM Vancouver

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.

From Islam to Sikhi: Haneet Kaur's Powerful Journey of Faith, Healing & Identity!In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Haneet Kaur, who shares her powerful story of leaving Islam and embracing Sikhism (Sikhi). 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. The peace and spiritual connection she felt was unlike anything she had ever experienced in Islam — and it marked the beginning of her journey into Sikhi.In this podcast, Haneet bravely opens up about:

An egregious myth-that Dalit leader B.R. Ambedkar was prevented from converting to Sikhi by casteist Sikh leaders-has resurfaced again after historian Tarlochan Singh's unverified claim that he has discovered correspondence from Gandhi dissuading Ambedkar from accepting Sikhi.In this episode, we not only surgically dissect this claim but also expose how Ambedkar was a willing pawn of the Hindutvadi forces when it came to chaining Sikhs to Indian tyranny.

Under condition of strict anonymity, he divulges to us the tragic condition of Sikhs in Pakistan; Pakistani collaboration with Indian intelligence in dismantling the Khalistan movement and the stupidity of Sikh liberals who actually believe that Islam is a sacred cow and above criticism.

In this episode, we trace the history of the Dasam Granth and its purpose among the broader Sikh literary heritage. We answer allegations levelled against the Charitropakhyan by non-Sikh detractors of the Panth seeking to convert non-Sikhs to the falsity of their faith. Knowledge is power, and it's high time we leverage it to defend our Sikhi and our heritage.

We are blessed to have the honor of hosting Baba Jagjit Singh Ji, who shares his incredible journey through life, spirituality, and devotion; exploring his experiences with various Mahapursh.

From misappropriating the Sikh dastaar even though the Bible forbids head coverings for men to being unable to heal their own family members while claiming to heal others, Christian pastors have become a controversial aspect of the Punjabi religious landscape. Carrying on from our previous episode, in this sequel we continue exposing their tactics and the contradictions of the Bible.

Religious clothing is as varied as any other kind of fashion, but there are a few common themes that we will highlight:Chastity is encouraged in modesty, and it's weird that covering your hair is more important that loose-fitting tops; weirder still when covering your hair with more hair has religious pressure on the cultural misstep.Fancy hats are everywhere, in a wide variety of styles remind us to think of our gods, and tell others that we're focused on what's important to our grandparents.Temples and priesthoods are also associated with specific clothing, including Hindu, Jain, Buddhist,  Catholic, and Latter-day Saint (Brighamite Mormon) traditions. All this and more.... Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop.Join the Community on Discord.Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram.

"I think it matters because what is our indigenous term? And what is the term which those who were studying us in the last hundred years started calling us? Our native term is Sikhi. Sikhism is something which was born out of the study of religions. “-ism” also implies that there is not a unity of doctrine, that there is too much multiplicity."

When we look at the two meanings as they existed at the time (in Sanskrit and in Pali) and incorporate them into what we now call Sikhi, it actually means learners who are of the Guru. Guru is a mentor, Guru in Sikhi is Perfection. A Sikh then becomes someone who is modelling their life as the Gurus lived it on earth.

In Sikhi (commonly known as Sikhism), women's fundamental equality exists in both private and public spheres and within personal and corporate relationships. Women possess the freedom to lead in any capacity without predefined roles. Nevertheless, despite these core principles, there are often observable disparities between theory and practice. This disconnection can be attributed to the influence of cultural factors and personal biases perpetuated by the broader hegemonic culture. It's important to emphasize that these issues are not intrinsic to Sikhi. In Sikhi, there should be no restrictions or disempowerment based on gender. Instead, these issues are rooted in cultural and personal biases that hinder empowering individuals of all genders.

“It's okay to have doubts and be unsure and it's okay for your feelings to waiver a little bit around Sikhi. I always felt a lot of shame because of that because I would see people around me, at least externally, who present very Sikh and you assume that they have it all figured out and they never have doubts and they're just so committed and so faithful. But for me, I never felt that way. I'd always had periods of, “Is this for me?” “Am I Sikh enough?” “Am I Punjabi enough?“” Sidaker, Kabir Singh, speaks with Sidak Facilitator, Jasleen Kaur about the realizations that came about as a result of attending Sidak. A lot of his fears around questioning his faith and comparing himself to his peers were alleviated. Sidak seeks to provide young Sikh adults with a gift of Gurmat-centered leadership learning experience to secure—and transform—the Sikh future.
