Ep76 - 12 Gurus Series: Guru Harikrishan Sahib | The Sikh Cast

What is the significance of Gurus? Though all of us know them, their exact contributions are not known by students of Sikhi.

 

In a new podcast series, The 12 Gurus: From 1469 to Infinity, SikhRI sheds light on their lives and contributions. 

• Were they spiritualists and reformers or Divine and Revolutionaries? 
• What lessons can we draw from them? 
• How do they teach us to think?

The series introduces Gurus as masters of fine arts, builders of cities, deliverers of justice, seva (service) coordinators, and an overarching gateway to freedom and equality. It touches on the singular and harmonized jot-jugat (light-method) as well as varied and diverse physical and temporal forms to provide a holistic understanding of the Gurus’ fundamental nature.

 

In this episode, we dive into the world of Guru Harikrishan Sahib, who continues Guru Nanak Sahib’s mission:

• Family tree and important personalities
• Father's last wishes - never submits to Aurangzeb
• Breaking the Brahmin's pride (recitation of Gita by a shudra)
• Clinics for smallpox
• His illness was a protest
