What is the significance of Gurus? Though all of us know them, their exact contributions raise questions in the students of Sikhi on a daily basis.
In a new podcast series The 12 Gurus: From 1469 to Infinity, SikhRI sheds light on the lives and meaning of Gurus in Sikhi. Were they spiritualists and reformers or Divine and Revolutionaries? What lessons can we draw from them? How do they teach us to think?
The series introduces Gurus as masters of fine arts, builders of cities, deliverers of justice, coordinators of Seva and an overarching gateway to freedom and equality. It touches on the singular and harmonized Jot and Jugat as well as varied and diverse physical and temporal forms to provide a holistic understanding of the Gurus’ fundamental nature.
In this episode, we dive into the world of Guru Angad who continues Guru Nanak's mission:
• Served the 1st Nānak
• Formalized the Gurmukhī script
• Instructed HamāyūM
• Institutionalized LaOgar

In the second set of savaiays, Guru Arjan Sahib gently awakens us to a difficult truth: our own forgetfulness. Caught in the waves of worldly attachments, we lose sight of our true purpose: the remembrance of the Nam of IkOankar.
In Bani, the seeker often speaks in the voice of the human-bride longing for union with the Divine-Husband, IkOankar—a profound metaphor that transcends gender and invites all seekers into intimacy, humility, vulnerability, and love.
