Basics of Sikhi Podcast is a relaxed talk show about Sikhism (Sikhi) and topics related. 

Most discussions and learning about Sikhi take place in a formal setting like a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), by way of Punjabi speaking Parchariks (educators) speaking to the congregation. In recent years, many educators have taken to online platforms such as YouTube & Facebook to inspire, educate and spread the message of Sikhi to the world, in English.

Our successful and popular YouTube channel, Basics of Sikhi (be sure to subscribe!) has been hugely appreciated as a new, interactive and modern way of learning about Sikhi, especially by the younger generation, some of which who cannot speak or understand Punjabi so much.

In a similar way, this Podcast, hosted by Sukhdeep Singh (Sikh educator at Basics of Sikhi) and Karanveer Singh (Sikh volunteer), is continuing that innovation by bringing learning about Sikhi to an informal and relaxed platform in the form of this talk show podcast. Sukhdeep & Karanveer will invite different guests to the Podcast to discuss various topics directly and indirectly related to Sikhi e.g. Sikh history, traditions, fitness, nutrition, mental health, music and the list goes on!...

We hope you enjoy this Podcast and would greatly appreciate your feedback. Be sure to follow us on social media!

Basics of Sikhi Podcast

podcasts

Delving deep into the Psychology behind Sikhi/Spirituality and what makes up the mind. This conversation with Dr Darshan Kaur (Clinical Psychologist) allows us to understand the different areas within mental health and the things that trigger certain emotions or behaviors. 

Within the 21st century, our lives have become so busy that we forget to pay attention to the one thing needed for us to physically function, our mind. Our attention spans are getting shorter; we can't even wait 5 seconds to skip a YouTube Ad!  

We sit down and watch tv whilst also being on our smartphones. We fall into states of depression, anxiety and stress because of how fast the world is moving, the pressures of social media, and how we measure our own success. 

Join the conversation around mental health and how spirituality can help us build a healthier state of mind.

#1 Spirituality, Psychology & Sikhi | A Conversation with Dr Darshan Kaur

In this podcast, we look at how Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi across the world and the lack of education within the Punjabi Sikh community around this auspicious occasion. 

Vaisakhi is celebrated by millions of people across the world every single year. For Sikhs, this is a special time related to the birth of the Khalsa!

We also look to tackle issues faced by many people today, such as Alcohol abuse, pride of status, and greed of property and money. What is the Guru’s perspective on these topics? Where can a Sikh go for support on these difficult topics many people face in this world.

#3 Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Podcast – Ninth Sikh Guru’s 400th Anniversary

Is there future in Sikh Animations and Creative Arts?

In this motivational podcast episode, we have a conversation with Eeshar Singh and Sirrjan Singh, two brothers who have started a new venture establishing an indie animation organisation known as Adrak Studios. Their first project is focused on a highly anticipated short animation called "Ru."

In this podcast, we speak about the broad topic of animation and its role in delivering positive messages associated with Sikhi. We also talk about how Sikhs could be supporting similar endeavours such as full-time Kirtanis (faith-based musicians), Artists, poets and historians.  

A message from Adrak Studios: 

"Ru" is a beautiful adventure story that centres around a timid oil lamp called Ru and his quest for Light amongst the Darkness. It's a story about empowerment, self-development and compassion.  As a young indie studio, we want to share stories with messages and morals that are thought-provoking and impactful.
