Podcast: Play in new window | Download (13.8MB) The Sikh Nagar Kirtan is the topic for this edition of The Sunday Sermon followed by a reading and English interpretation of a shabad by Guru Ram Das Ji in Raag Dhanasree. This shabad is written by Guru Ram Das Ji in Raag Dhanasree. It is a hymn of 2 verses where each line is longer than the prose that we might come to expect from a hukumnama. ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ ਸੇਵਕ ਸਿਖ ਪੂਜਣ ਸਭਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ...
read moreCare for the first Sikh capital?
In a previous article, I discussed the importance of various monuments related to Sikh history and how they are in a neglected state. There is a place in the north-west of Punjab situated on the banks of the famous Beas river named Hargobindpur – but mostly we refer to it as Shri Hargobindpur Sahib. This city was blessed with the noble presence of our revered Gurus, especially the fifth Guru, Guru Arjun Dev Ji as this was the home of his ancestral lands. In fact he laid the foundation of this place where Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji too stayed...

The recent return to power of the Shiromani Akali Dal Government remains the talk of the day in Punjab as well as amongst people concerned about Punjab in different corners of the world. The swearing-in of the Government took place at a historic monument site which depicts the valour and great sacrifice of the honourable Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the Khalsa of his day. Memorials like this were raised to guide generation after generation about the selfless sacrifice of our great leader-warriors who set us the example of how life should be...

Election results from several states of India are eagerly being awaited early this week and are being presented by traditional media as a glorious symbol of India’s democratic strength, despite the shallow and circumvented reality of Indian democracy. In talking about the strengths and fallacies of Indian democracy I recall the words of the famous Latin American Nobel Laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa: ‘oh sach apna tad he heh, jadon oh kisma de ibaret de arth badl deve’. He being a brilliant poet and revolutionary thinker added...

With the onset of Spring, Punjab has recently undergone an election to choose state assembly leaders to represent the will of the people in the state assembly. This is the fifteenth state election for the Punjab assembly. The Congress Party (INC) being a national and old party has ruled the state for a vast period whilst the other political party to win a majority in the Punjab was once the party of choice for the Sikh Panth, the Shiromani...
