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?
"Hola Mahalla" was established by Guru Gobind Singh and is now celebrated annually. We talk with Harinder Singh on its significance, historical context, references in Guru Granth Sahib and what it means for Sikhs today. We know the date can be March 1st or the 14th but we don't give any importance to the dates on the podcast and mainly focus on Hola Mahalla's importance.

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 this episode, we dive into the world of Guru Nanak who started the Sikh revolution.
Sabad is Infinite; we are very finite. This is our understanding at the moment, which was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow, as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad.
The Sabad opens with the Guru's profound declaration of being a "maiden-slave" of the Divine Ruler, symbolizing complete surrender and dedication.

One who calls oneself a Sikh of the Guru, the Eternal Guru,rises at dawn, contemplates on All-Pervasive Nam1. Endeavors daily at dawn:cleanses and bathes in the pool of Immortality. Follows Guru’s Instructions, utters the utterance of All-Pervasive! All-Pervasive!Pains from all evilish transgressions vanish. Then, at daybreak, sings Guru’s Teachings,contemplates on All-Pervasive Nam while sitting or standing. One who contemplates with every breath on my All-Pervasive! All-Pervasive!That Sikh of the Guru pleases the Guru’s mind. Whosoever feels my Owner-Divine’s compassion,the Guru imparts instructions to that Sikh of the Guru. Servant Nanak asks for that Sikh of the Guru’s Feet-dust2who personally utters and inspires others to utter Nam. 1. Nam Identification2.

In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute as used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord. http://www.sikhri.org/guru_granth_sahib_305 Guest: Inni Kaur (@innikaur) Host: Manpreet Singh (@mjassal) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-sikh-cast-sikhri/support
If the bearded-powerful persecute the poor,the Transcendent has them burning in their own fire-rage. 1. Creator administers complete justice,Is fully capable of protecting Own’s votaries. 1. Reflect. Glory-heat manifests since the beginning and throughout the ages.Slanderer dies in the high heat-turmoil being produced. 2. No one can protect those being destroyed.Their reputation is spoilt here and hereafter. 3. Own’s servants are bosom-embraced and protected.Nanak: Remain in sanctuary and contemplate on All-Pervasive’s Nam1. 1.
