I have been yearning to experience a silent retreat. Not a structured one but a personal one. Being somewhat of a recluse, I just cannot see myself in a structured environment. It goes against my very core.
However, it has been challenging to convince the family that I need to go into silence. “You are already so quiet,” they would say, and I have been bowing to their wishes for the past fifteen years or so.
But this summer, the urge to go into silence was so strong enough that I found a place, registered and then told the family. I was pleasantly surprised to hear them say, “You need it. Go and enjoy your silence.” So, off I went.

Join Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur as they return to the question of ‘sacrilege,’ Sikh governance, and what it means when the state steps in to deal with matters over which Sikh institutions are meant to have authority.
The Guru Granth Sahib Project is pleased to announce the annotation of two Sabads by Bhagat Jaidev Ji, one of the fifteen Bhagat contributors to the Guru Granth Sahib.
