Through this series, we hope you had the opportunity to learn more about Guru Teghbahadar Sahib—from the Guru’s early years as Tyag Mal, to the wisdom the Guru shared through the Guru’s banis, to the ultimate sacrifice the Guru made for justice.
In this sixth lesson, we explore the fourth sabad in Rag Jaijavanti by Guru Teghbahadar Sahib Ji. Guru Sahib reminds us that our lives are constantly passing, moment by moment, and encourages us to reflect on how we're using our time.
In this fifth lesson on Guru Teghbahadar Sahib Ji, we reflect on the third Sabad in Rag Jaijavanti—a musical mode that expresses both deep joy and gentle longing. In this composition, Guru Sahib lovingly invites us to pause and look inward.
In this fourth lesson, we continue exploring Guru Teghbahadar Sahib Ji’s second Sabad in Rag Jaijavanti. Guru Sahib uses the word “Ram” again, reminding you that it refers not to any specific person but to the Divine presence within everyone.
In this third lesson, you are invited to reflect on what you listen to, what you think about, and how these things shape your mind. You learn how your senses, especially listening, can influence your desires and attachments.
In this second lesson on Guru Teghbahadar Sahib Ji, we explore the themes of courage, truth, and inner strength through two powerful stories.
December 27th is in commemoration of the martyrdom of the many Sikhs who died at Chamkaur.
