What is the significance of Gurus? Though all of us know them, their exact contributions are not known by many Sikhs.
In a new podcast series, The 12 Gurus: From 1469 to Infinity, SikhRI sheds light on their lives and contributions. Were they spiritualists and reformers or Divine and Revolutionaries? What lessons can we draw from them? How do they teach us to think?
