We are all traders, constantly engaging in exchanges through our interactions, choices, and pursuit of meaning. But what do we truly seek to accumulate? What holds lasting value?


This presentation explores Guru Ramdas Sahib’s Vanjara, situating it within its cultural framework and lived experience. We will reflect on the composition's foundational themes and their relevance to our daily lives.

Through this exploration, we will examine our world transactions and our relationship with IkOankar—the One asking: What are we trading in? What are we gathering? And ultimately, what will we take with us on our journey ahead?

What is a Saneha?

Saneha is a beautiful Panjabi word that means personally delivering a message on behalf of another.

Saneha: Becoming Guru-centered sessions are for personal and/or community development. Content incorporates the Gurmat framework of bani (wisdom), tavarikh (history), and rahit (lifestyle), as well as other universal principles that resonate with the message of the Sikhi.

Participants are encouraged to ask questions and arrive at answers through collective understanding.
