Anand Sahib: Week 3

,
Online

Anand Sahib holds a very special place in Sikh tradition, as it is sung in almost every congregational setup. Revealed to Guru Amardas Sahib, the bani essentially details the human quest for bliss and the lifestyle that is necessary for leading a blissful life. The beauty and significance of Anand Sahib can be gauged from the fact that it dwells on a variety of ideas and principles that are central to Sikh thought. Each live session will cover two pauris (stanzas) each and vocabulary lessons.
