We interrupt the posting of the Anand Sahib Translation with a word from our sponsors. :)
To all of you who have emailed and written asking me to teach the Japji Sahib course in your area: By Guru’s grace, here are two upcoming opportunities to spend a weekend meditating [...]

The below video is a clear display of how children learn from those around them. As parents we don’t always realize the things that our children are learning from us (both good and bad things) and from those around us.

“The video ‘Children See Children Do‘ was to let all adults know that they have an [...]

True Tales, an informal memoir writing group (not necessarily a group of “writers”), was born in the Spring of 2002 out of several realizations: Much of the existing published history of 3HO and the birth and growth of Sikh Dharma in the West has been PR-oriented: focused on major events, leaders within our communities, significant [...]

Here is another very interesting article by Shanti Kaur illustrating how Guru Gobind Singh did not limit his love or have prejudice towards people of the Muslim religion (or any religion for that matter). There seems to be so much hate coming from some Sikhs towards Hindus and Muslims. I can only attempt to understand [...]
