"You’re never too old to learn from your sangat and never too young to try something new amongst your Sangat. That’s what I’m reflecting on this Vaisakhi: The idea of space and the idea of meaningful space. And just being more aware..."

Sukhmann Kaur, Associate Editor at The Guru Granth Sahib Project, reflects on the lessons learned from her Biji (grandmother), particularly her openness to lifelong growth and learning.

She says, “You’re never too old to learn from your sangat and never too young to try something new amongst your Sangat. That’s what I’m reflecting on this Vaisakhi: The idea of space and the idea of meaningful space. And just being more aware and more kind to the folks that are in my Sangat.”

From now until Vaisakhi, the SikhRI team will reflect and share their perspective of Vaisakhi. Featuring speakers unique in their backgrounds, countries, and experiences, we hope the “Countdown to Vaisakhi” video series will ignite a spark in you to reflect on your personal connection to Vaisakhi.
