What will be discussed is as to how the world class scholars, sociologists and intellectuals may accept the challenge to freshly define Sikhi Universals for the new world. Those Sikhi Universals will be desired to be operationalized in the North American cultures. New emphasis will divert Sikh intellectual and institutional resources from a mode of policing the Sikh religiosity to highlighting the spiritual, socio-cultural and political human values that serve today’s civil societies.
Parents often find themselves in tight spot when dealing with children; their demands, expectation, behavior so on and so forth. They feel clueless as to how to respond to children under certain circumstance. Answer to majority of such issues lies in the macro view of life that dominates our relationship with the children and how we look at them. The current presentation gives a Sikhi viewpoint on parenting and nurturing a Sikh child by delving into Gurbani and Sikh tradition, which will help inform our attitude and better shape our relationship with children.
Can a nation change its destiny without paying attention to its youth? Empowered youngsters are central to any developed society. This presentation looks at real meaning and purpose of development in Gurbani. It parses early Sikh history to understand how the Guru fired up the imagination of the youth by providing stakes in community and society building; thus transformed them into living example of excellence. It also seeks lessons in meaningful ways of engaging the youth and making them an active participant in the Panth today.
