Featuring: Surender Pal Singh Guru Granth Sahib is a treasure house of a variety of figurative expressions like imagery, symbolism, metaphors, similes, and so on. The contributors to Guru Granth Sahib have intertwined a diverse range of such expressions with their poetic revelations. These expressions bring alive the mystic and spiritual experiences that are otherwise inexpressible through language and make them more relatable for a commoner. Most of these expressions draw parallels from South-Asian day-to-day life and its surrounding environment including nature, creatures, professions, faith and religion, socio-cultural mores, politics, and more. #Sikhi #Sikh #GuruGranthSahib #Symbolism #SikhRI

June is a time where we remember many Shahids of the Sikh Panth, greatest among them our beloved Fifth Nanak, Guru Arjan Sahib ji, the Prince of Shahids. In this panel we will be discussing the role Shahidi plays in Sikhi, looking at it from the lens of Gurbani, history and Sikh culture. Why are Shahids so respected? Are they given too much importance or not enough? What can we, in the 21st century, gain from the example of Shahids? Join us for a live Q&A webinar as we explore these questions.
