Bebe Nanki Ji, Mata Khivi Ji, Mata Gujri Ji - Why do they stand out in history? Why do we admire them? What are the characteristics of these incredible women? How can we bring these qualities in to our own lives.
This workshop is an exploration of the concept of double-edged sovereignty in Sikhi and the ways that Sikhs can live to honor the spiritual and political legacy of this call. Using Gurbani and other foundational texts, the presentation will explore sovereignty as it related to the formation of Sikhi as a system of belief, as well as an organized political entity.
The presentation looks at the roots of the word, idea and institution that Khalsa is, in the context of Vaisakhi and beyond. It explores the Sikh canon, and other near contemporary sources of the ten Guru Nanaks period to trace its position and significance in the Sikh Panth. We survey its current state, functionality and understanding within the global community and offer suggestions to revive the Khalsa tradition in today’s context.
A Q&A with young audience about things that matter to them like creating work-life balance, celebrating self, dealing with anger and stress, finding love, living a life of purpose and connecting with the 'force'. With inferences from gurbani.

A week after the celebration of International Women’s Day with reaffirmations of equality, the recognition of women role-models, expressions of love for women in our lives, we turn to ask: Why do we mark an international women’s day? Does such a “day,” simply allow for hollow congratulations in a world that is deeply divided on gender lines, as illustrated every other day of the year? Why not have a “men’s day”—are we reinforcing inequality? And does this day reflect an acceptance that all women, everywhere, across the globe, are simply the same?
The modern industrial world heavily controls our mind and body, continually shaping our lifestyle. We are often turned into a machine that continues to do what it is programmed for. Happiness and fulfillment elude us despite wealth and countless avenues to satiate our pleasure senses. In this presentation, we explore reasons that bind us, inhibitions that hold us back and address how to reorient our life compass to be truly free to realize our potential.
