Hope seems like a simple concept, but the feeling can be difficult to hold onto. And when times are difficult and chaos swirls around us, it's more important than ever. How do we find and practice hope when it's elusive? Spiritual and religious leaders rely on centuries of experience and wisdom to continually guide people back to hope, and this episode's discussion from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival draws from these experts.

Brad speaks with Dr. Simran Jeet Singh , Executive Director for the Aspen Institute's Religion & Society Program and author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life.As a boy growing up in South Texas, Simran Jeet Singh and his brothers confronted racism daily: at school, in their neighborhood, playing sports, and later in college and beyond. Despite the prejudice and hate he faced, this self-described “turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh” refused to give in to negativity. Instead, Singh delved deep into the Sikh teachings that he grew up with and embraced the lessons to seek the good in every person and situation and to find positive ways to direct his energy. These Sikh tenets of love and service to others have empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that have made him a national figure in the areas of equity, inclusion, and social justice.The Light We Give: https://simranjeetsingh.org/the-light-we-give/Learn more about APARRI. APARRI's vision is to create a society in which Asian Pacific American religions are valued, recognized, and central to the understanding of American public life.

Happy Spring and welcome to Season 5: ‘The Tarot Minors & The Zodiac'! A special shout-out to all the Aries in our lives: Eliza's niece Aliya, her grandmother Bea, Mazzy pup, Sarah's mom Nancy, and both her in-laws, Megan and Brian. That's a lot of fire energy in our midst!Although we parted from the airwaves last December, having completed The Fool's Journey through the Tarot majors, inspiration struck- we're back to cover the minor arcana and their astrological associations. First up is the sign of Aries, which represents the cardinal fire element and corresponds to the minor suit of wands, cards 2-4, and the queen.We hope you'll bear with us as the first half of the episode involves much reflecting and reacclimating after our long winter's absence.

To live in our world today is to sit with the heaviness of the many contexts of oppression, violence and injustice that exist. It can feel overwhelming and even disempowering, especially for those who want to drive change.How can we see the light during such painful times? How can we take pause amidst chaos and hurt to stay curious? Who can we turn to and where can we go to find our common humanity?To grapple with these questions, this LIMINAL podcast offers you an insightful conversation with Simran Jeet Singh, a national leader in the areas of equity, inclusion, and social justice. Growing up in South Texas as the son of Indian immigrants, Simran is a self described “turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh,” who, despite continually facing racism and discrimination, chooses to find humanity and light in the world. ” Simran is also the Executive Director for the Aspen Institute's Religion & Society Program and the author of national bestseller The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life, from which he shares guiding principles and practices in this conversation. This episode was recorded on the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City. The attacks not only disrupted Simran's understanding of safety with death threats and emotional abuse from his neighbors, but also shattered his identity in society as people saw him differently than how he perceived himself. He shares how instead of being consumed by anger and judgment, he embraced the Sikh teachings of love, compassion, optimism, and service to navigate the shadows of bigotry. Tune in as Simran shares practical wisdom for seeing our common humanity in the darkest of times and sustaining ourselves as leaders in the long journey of social change. Related Resources:In addition to his work at the Religion and Society Program at the Institute, Simran regularly writes for major media publications like CNN, TIME Magazine, The Washington Post and the Harvard Business Review and has been featured on stages like SXSW.

The United States is a more secular society than many, and the percentage of people who don't identify with organized religion is rising. Some of the impacts from that shift might be obvious, such as declining membership in congregations or decreased support for religious organizations and institutions. But some of the consequences are less obvious. How do we change as people when we don't practice religious ritual? When we aren't part of a community? Three scholars and leaders from different religious traditions come together on stage at the Aspen Ideas Festival to grapple with these questions. They point out how ancient faiths permeate our modern lives even where we don't notice, and speak about the spiritual gaps religion fills for people and society. Kate Bowler is a podcast host and history professor at Duke Divinity School. Haroon Moghul is an imam and director of The Concordia Forum, a network of Muslim leaders. And Shira Stutman is interim rabbi at the Aspen Jewish Congregation, and the founder of Sixth & I Synagogue in Washington, DC. The executive director of the Religion and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, Simran Jeet Singh, moderates the conversation.

He joined us today to talk about his bestselling book, "The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life".Simran discusses the power of engaging with people who are different from us and the importance of embracing relationships that challenge us. Simran shares about their family history and being the first person in their family to be born into a society of diversity. They delve into the principles of Sikhism, a relatively young religion founded by Guru Nanak, which emphasizes the oneness of all creation and rejects hierarchy and supremacy. Simran also opens up about their personal experiences of facing discrimination and racism, particularly after 9/11, and the challenges they have encountered in maintaining their Sikh identity.Tune in to this episode of The Growth Guide to gain insights into engaging with diversity, Sikh philosophy, the power of community, the value of prayer, and finding light in the face of darkness."[05.17] Opening up – Starting the conversation, Simran shares how he learned the importance of opening up to people rather than shutting down. [12.58] Racism - Simran refreshes his memories of living with racism in Texas and how it affected them in early 2000. [24.20] Shared identity – Building connection by focusing on shared identity instead of individual identity.[34.28] The value – We talk about the importance of being in relationships with people who have different backgrounds. [43.13] Prayers - The power of prayer is not the change that occurs in what happens, but the change that occurs within ourselves. [51.24] Feeling alive – It differs from person to person what makes them feel alive.

Following 9/11, Simran Jeet Singh's Sikh family in Texas was subjected to extreme racist abuse. And yet, Simran's father chose to look on the bright side and offer thanks instead for the acts of kindness friends and neighbors showed them. How was such optimism possible? Simran - author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life - explains how practicing positive habits and living by our values as often as we can will really help when a crisis arises.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Educator and author Simran Jeet Singh is Sikh. Most of his fellow Americans have no idea what Sikhism is - causing some to treat Simran with suspicion and hostility. But one of the key teachings of his religion is that all things and all people are connected - something that offers Simran comfort and hope in even the darkest moments.  In the first of a two-part show, Dr Laurie Santos talks to Simran about his book - The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life - and finds that the centuries-old traditions of Sikhism map surprisingly well over the latest happiness science.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone where you feel very lucky to have been able to meet and talk to that person? My conversation with our guest, Dr. Simran Jeet Singh, felt like just that. Simran Jeet Singh, PhD is the Executive Director of the Religion and Society Program at the world-famous Aspen Institute. He's also the author of a new national bestseller, called The Light We Give: How Sikh wisdom can transform your life. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Dr. Simran Jeet Singh on Sikh Wisdom The conversation starts with one of the major proponents that Dr. Simran shares to everyone, which is Sikh wisdom. He defines it as such: “I think Sikh wisdom is these experiences and insights that people before us have developed and we have access to if we want. And one of our choices is do we want to learn all the lessons the hard way, or do we want to step into these treasures that are already available to us. It is the Sikh philosophy and traditions that I didn't really learn to appreciate until I got older and started meeting real challenges in my life.” –  Dr. Simran Jeet Singh Dr. Simran used these Sikh wisdom in moments of his life where he felt huge struggles and difficulties to guide himself into the person that he wants to be. The Challenges of being Different On such moment was when the events during 9/11 occurred, and the whole country was, in many ways, suffering a collective sense of trauma. It was a vulnerable feeling that people of the United States did not think they would feel. But the feeling of vulnerability was even more so for Dr. Simran and his community. “In this moment of extreme difficulty for our country, of extreme anger and violence, all of a sudden, I and people belonging to my community fell into the stereotype of how Americans saw their enemy. And so that, I think, is partly what felt so difficult in this moment: on the one hand, I felt like I was an American and belonged here and was going through the same trauma as everyone else. Yet at the same time, so many people around me, my fellow Americans would look at me and be like, “no, no, you're not one of us here.”” –  Dr. Simran Jeet Singh It hurts doubly for Dr. Simran, as he understands the pain and vulnerability that they are experiencing, as someone who has lived in the US for quite some time. But at the same time, the hate created by the almost-kneejerk reaction that some had afterwards was something that his community and others did not deserve, simply because they were different. Dr. Simran Jeet Singh on educating the masses Dr. Simran believes that this reaction is fear born from ignorance, and is something that could be remedied by educating the people on what the Sikh ideologies and culture really stand for. Sometimes, he would be surprised that an average American doesn't know where Punjab is, let alone what a Sikh was. That gave Dr. Simran a sense of where he needed to start. Even before educating about the different cultures and ideologies, they might not even have an idea of where you came from, and they have been making assumptions about your culture based on the wrong information.

In "The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life," San Antonio writer Simran Jeet Singh recounts his early life on the North Side of San Antonio. The book explains how the core tenets of the Sikh religion — love and service to others — helped him navigate the discrimination he often faced.

If you ask people what they think about religion, you often get one of two answers: Religion is the source of war, violence, abuse, and hypocrisy OR a route to love, kindness, tolerance, and mercy. Put another way, it's either what divides us or it's the thing that can actually bring us together. In a country deeply divided over social, political, and moral issues that seems to be moving further apart by the day, the answer's not likely to be a simple one. How God Works held its first live event in December to explore just that. Why does something that has the potential to connect us so deeply also have the ability to divide us so profoundly? And, regardless of what we believe, is there something we can learn from what religion gets right to find a way to come together? In a wide-ranging and often moving discussion, Dave spoke to a panel of leading spiritual thinkers and social scientists who have experienced both sides of the issue, including Central Synagogue Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, award-winning author and Christian Historian Diana Butler Bass, The University of North Carolina's Deepest Beliefs Lab director Kurt Gray, and The Aspen Institute's Religion and Society Program's executive director Simran Jeet Singh. This podcast episode is an audio recording of the event in its entirety. If you'd rather watch than listen, a video of the event is available here.

Being a Sikh in America gives Simran Jeet Singh a very particular insight into the divisions that run between us: on one hand, his visible differences have made him a target for racism; on the other, his religion emphasises the connectedness of all humans, and urges him towards compassion, forgiveness and love.In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Katherine and Simran explore building empathy, seeing the divine in everyone, and how being forced to confront white supremacy has helped Simran to develop a language to challenge those who would attack him. The Sikh value of Chardi Kala is hard to miss here: the sense of everlasting optimism that propels him forward.Join the conversation!

Happy holidays!In New York City, the phrase has nothing to do with a culture war and everything to do with being a good neighbor. A recent NY Times article describes the city as "a swirling kaleidoscope of faiths," and living within that colorful milieu has profoundly shaped our posture toward other religions. On this episode, Katelyn and Roxy discuss the ways New York City has exposed us to the beauty and wisdom of other faith traditions, while introducing us to the importance of interfaith work in a country that will come to more and more resemble the pluralism of our city.We are joined by Simran Jeet Singh, a fellow transplant to New York, who is dedicated to anti-racism and interfaith cooperation. As a Sikh, Singh knows what it's like to be the minority at the interfaith table and has helpful insights into how Christians, as the majority, can be good partners and allies.GUEST: Simran Jeet Singh is executive director for the Aspen Institute's Religion and Society Program, an RNS columnist, and author of the book "The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Next time on State of Belief Radio: We're digging into some of our favorite religion-themed books of 2022. From Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, Scholar in Residence at the National Council of Jewish Women, comes On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. Also, the latest book from Haroon Moghul: Two Billion Caliphs: A Vision of a Muslim Future. Always accessible and always thoughtful, Haroon gets into the appeal of the faith, as well as the challenges Muslims face in a pluralistic – and sometimes unwelcoming - world. And The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life author Simran Jeet Singh. The Executive Director for the Religion & Society Program at the Aspen Institute combines memoir and theology, history and philosophy in a way that's relatable for every reader.

Building relationships are foundational to our humanity, but creating them with others, especially those that are different from ourselves, can feel challenging.

Writer, educator, and activist Dr. Simran Jeet Singh is the executive director for the Aspen Institute's Religion and Society Program and author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life. In his work and contemplative talks, he offers a fresh approach to ethical living—one in which love, caring, and service go hand-in-hand with personal happiness. He shares the skills and insights that kept him engaged in his commitment to activism, and how to use compassion as the antidote to anger, self-pity, or social justice burnout. Growing up in Texas as the son of Indian immigrants and a self-described “turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh,” Simran Jeet Singh constantly confronted racism, bullying, and ethnic slurs. But, where others may have grown bitter or angry, he looked to the lessons of Sikh teachings he grew up with to seek out the good in every situation and find positive ways to direct his energy. These tenets of love and service to others empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that catapulted him to the national stage in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We will learn: The intersection between hate and fear. How to get comfortable embracing your discomfort. A daily practice to keep your optimism while taking action. Standing up for what you believe in is, in my opinion, one of the most honorable things you can do. The problem is, fighting for a cause and spending so much time and thought immersed in your own ideology and surrounding yourself with people who think the same is both amazing and also the exact directions to create your own echo chamber. I've also found that the more I fight, the angrier I become at the world around me. So what do we do? How do we participate in activism without being consumed by anger or hatred or even self-pity or hopelessness? That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Dr. Simran Jeet Singh. He is the Executive Director of the Aspen Institute's Religion & Society Program. He is Senior Adviser for Equity and Inclusion at YSC Consulting, an Equality Fellow for the Open Society Foundations, and a Visiting Professor at Union Seminary. Simran is the author of “The Light We Give: The Power of Sikh Wisdom to Transform Your Life.” Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/X97 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self.  Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations.  Support Mind Love Sponsors See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've all been othered, felt like we didn't belong, at some point or moment in our lives. It feels awful. But, what happens when that experience rises to a level and pervasiveness of such intensity that it's not just about feeling unwelcome, it's about fearing for your life? And the lives of others you care about? Whether drawn from what we look like, what or who we worship, our values, beliefs, or any other identifier, that fear of being othered because of something that defines us can cause so much suffering. And at times, anger, even rage. It's understandable. Question is, it is the answer? The way forward? Or, is there a different, more expansive, empathy-centered path? And if so, what does that look like, and it is really a genuine option, given the world we currently live in?These are the questions and ideas today's guest, Simran Jeet Singh, has been grappling with. In today's conversation, we take a deep dive into his experiences growing up, becoming a visible advocate for not only his own cultural and spiritual traditions but also a different approach to bridge-building. In his new book, The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life, he shares his complex, fresh perspective on how empathy and traditions come into play to help us embrace each other's differences, find contentment, and discover our universal connectedness. And, in our conversation today, he offers a framework, a different approach, designed to let us to see each other's humanity more clearly and, hopefully, create a better and more equal world for ourselves and whoever comes after us.
