“Realizing that you’re part of a larger whole is also accepting the fact that you can’t change everything….. If your source of strength is that of amazement, of awe, of understanding the connectedness of things..."

Jujhaar Singh is a San Francisco, California software engineer. His journey with SikhRI started at Sidak in 2010. He has been a Sidak participant, a teaching assistant, and a facilitator. He serves on SikhRi’s Board of Directors.

He says, “Realizing that you’re part of a larger whole is also accepting the fact that you can’t change everything….. If your source of strength is that of amazement, of awe, of understanding the connectedness of things, that is a healthier place for me to pull from than some of these other emotions.”

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.
