As Sikhs in the diaspora, how do we find, connect, and build our sangat? How is our understanding of belonging challenged and changing over time? In the current pandemic, many community connections we previously looked to are no longer available. How do we continue to maintain community when physical spaces, such as the Gurduara, are no longer (or perhaps were never) available? Join us as we discuss ways to create compassionate communities in the age of isolation.

This webinar is a part of the live course Anand Sahib: Way to Bliss This session will feature a personal reflection on Anand Sahib by Inni Kaur In 2005, I was going through a challenging time in my life. To stay centered I began to study this bani (composition). It took me about two years to go through each verse. Many legal pads were filled. To make sense of my notes, I ended up with a pale translation of this exquisite bani. Needless to say, the bani of Anand Sahib had a profound effect on me. It changed me and continues to chisel me. Sikhi is a lived experience. I share my reflections in that spirit.

Bhakti and Shakti are two sides of the Guru.
