This video presents a rich and reflective book conversation on Guru Gobind Singh Sahib: Life, Vision & Wisdom, authored by Harinder Singh, marking the 350th anniversary of the Gurgaddi (Coronation) of the Tenth Guru.


Recorded in Vancouver, the dialogue features Harinder Singh — author of the book, educator, and co-founder of SikhRI — alongside author, psychiatrist, and advocate Dr. Shimi Kaur Kang. Together, they invite seekers, thinkers, and readers to reflect on how the Guru’s sovereign spirit calls us to stand for universal justice and human dignity. The conversation explores what it means to remain grounded in conviction while staying committed to the well-being of all.

Rooted in the luminous compositions of Sabad Hajare and the voices of the Guru’s court poets, the conversation challenges binaries and invites listeners to move beyond polarisation toward deeper understanding.
