In the second set of savaiays, Guru Arjan Sahib gently awakens us to a difficult truth: our own forgetfulness. Caught in the waves of worldly attachments, we lose sight of our true purpose: the remembrance of the Nam of IkOankar. Distracted by fleeting pleasures and temporary gains, we drift away from this path of connection and ultimately leave this world empty-handed.

In Bani, the seeker often speaks in the voice of the human-bride longing for union with the Divine-Husband, IkOankar—a profound metaphor that transcends gender and invites all seekers into intimacy, humility, vulnerability, and love.

Through this imagery, we are encouraged to enter a relationship with the Divine grounded in devotion and trust. But what might it mean that this longing is so often expressed through the feminine voice? How does this symbolism challenge binaries and deepen our understanding of identity, spirituality, and the self?

In this webinar, participants are invited to reflect on how the feminine voice—in its many emotions, expressions, and experiences—is woven throughout Bani. Together, we explore how these voices continue to resonate today, forming a timeless chorus of longing, connection, and devotion.

How do we cultivate devotion to IkOankar?
Saviye Sri Mukhbakya (Mahala 5) I explores a kind of devotion that arises intuitively from love, awe, and lived experience—not from rigid intellectualism or empty ritualisms. In this composition, we are invited to move beyond merely knowing or hearing about IkOankar (the Divine) toward becoming absorbed in devotion to IkOankar through Nam (Identification).

In the Guru Granth Sahib, Din Raini is a poetic form, like Barah Maha, Ruti, Thiti, and Var Sat, structured around traditional Indic units of time. While Barah Maha draws on the months, Ruti on the seasons, Thiti on lunar dates, and Var Sat on the days of the week, Din Raini draws on the four quarters of the day and night to teach that every moment of life can be made fruitful through service, contemplation, and loving devotion.

On December 3, 2025, twenty-two year old Vickrum Singh Digwa stabbed eighteen year old Henry Nowak four times on Belmont Road in Southampton in the UK. Nowak died. Digwa, an Amritdhari Sikh and member of the Nihang order, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years.

In this episode, join Jasleen Kaur, Harinder Singh, and Santbir Singh for a reflective and nuanced conversation about what this case has brought up about the Kirpan, Khalsa identity, masculinity, and our responsibility to one another.
