Persianامشب به تماشای رخ یار توان رفتسوی بتِ عاشق کشِ عیار توان رفت
در کوچه عشق ارچه محال است رسیدنمنصور صفت با قدم دار توان رفت
ای دل به سوی مدرسه گر میل نداری! باری به سوی خانه خمار توان رفت
چون خاطرم از عشق تو شد رشکِ گلستان بیهوده چرا جانب گلزار توان رفت
ای دل چو شدی واقف اسرار الهیدر سینه ام ای مخزنِ اسرار توان رفت
صد روضه رضوان است چو در خانه شگفتهگویا به چه سوی در و دیوار توان رفت
English TranslationTonight one may proceed to gaze upon the Beloved’s face, Towards the one who is mysteriously merciless towards the lover.
Although it is impossible to arrive at the lane of love,One may walk towards the gallows in the footsteps of Mansur.
Oh heart, if you don’t desire to go to a seminary, You may proceed towards a wine-house once.
As your love has made my imagination the envy of a blooming garden, Why may one proceed towards the garden then?
Oh heart, since you are aware of divine secrets, I can proceed within myself, oh treasure of secrets.
A hundred paradisiacal gardens have bloomed in the house.Goya: why should one proceed elsewhere?

This podcast brings us to Haridwar, a town that lies on the banks of the Ganges river. Guru ji challenges the thinking of the men whom he meets at the river. They explore the idea of sending love to the ancestors by providing them with resources, in this case being water. But Guru ji posits that we need to embrace our love for our loved ones that are alive today rather than focusing on those that have left this world.
The eye-opening discussion is absolutely worth listening to because it broadens your mindset on how we engage as human beings and how we express our compassion and love for one another.

Featuring: Inni Kaur

Inni Kaur talks about how transcendence lies not in the wishful disappearance of opposition from without but in the resolution within to disregard and rise above it. How do we rise from the fragmented universe of our fears?

Transcendence lies not in the wishful disappearance of opposition from without but in the resolution within to disregard and rise above it. How do we rise from the fragmented universe of our fears? How do we rejuvenate from within to attain the fullest human stature? Journey with me as I share my learnings from the three Sabadsof Guru Teghbahadar Sahib in Rag Devgandhari through Bhai Vir Singh’s expositions.

Harinder Singh speaks about the Sikh historical narratives that live in the psyche of the Guru Khalsa Panth, the flag-bearers of the Sikh collective. ~~~
The Sikh historical narratives live in the psyche of the Guru Khalsa Panth, the flag-bearers of the Sikh collective. They were told and retold from generation to generation. Two of them recorded their impressions of Guru Teghbahadar Sahib in the texts, which are contemporary or near-contemporary sources. Bhai Nand Lal Goya’s and Chandra Sain Sainpati’s writings informed the Sikh psyche from the late 1600s to the early 1700s. We will attempt to see the grandeur and legacy of the Ninth Sovereign from Goya’s Ganjnama and Sainpati’s Sri Gur Sobha.
