This webinar invites us to have a glimpse of Guru Teghbahadar Sahib as a dynamic persona.

When we think of Guru Teghbahadar Sahib, we often think solely of renunciation and his martyrdom. But who really is Guru Tegbahadar Sahib?

How did Guru Tegbahadar Sahib embody a vast and integrated way of living?

How did the Guru practice wisdom and engage with society, all while responding to the world with clarity, courage, and compassion?

This webinar invites us to have a glimpse of Guru Teghbahadar Sahib as a dynamic persona. Drawing from primary and secondary sources, we will explore the breadth of the Guru’s contributions, the depth of the Guru’s insights, and the expansive worldview the Guru offered—beyond dichotomies, beyond inherited narratives, and beyond the limits of traditional portrayals.
