Japji Sahib answers all of the biggest questions anybody could possibly have about life and the creation. Questions like, 'What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose? What is my true essence?' Each pauri (stanza) takes you on a journey closer to your soul, step by step. Through taking on the wisdom of Japji Sahib, you can realise your true self. In each podcast, Bhai Baljit Singh explores one pauri at a time in a friendly discussion format, using very relatable and real life examples to learn from. 
Let's go on this journey together and go back home to our soul.
Japji Sahib is the first Sikh prayer written in Guru Granth Sahib Ji (eternal Sikh scriptural Guru) written by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Sikh Guru. This Bani (prayer) is recited by Sikhs daily as part of their Nitnem (daily Sikh prayers).

When we realise that we are bound by the One's divine will and cannot escape that, we start to step away from the multiple layers of ego that we are stuck in. Having this realisation is our doorway to liberation.

Whilst being identified with the ego and being separated from the truth, we continue to remain bound to our karmic load (past experiences). The only way to break this cycle is to receive Vaheguru Ji's (God's) grace. To receive this grace, we have to play to the game that the Creator has created.

Is there more than one way to experience God? - Japji Sahib Podcast EP3

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P-3gM7t_5Ck

We often hear that God is love but through which lens are we trying to understand God's love? Gurbani itself defines God's love for us which is that God's vision is equal upon all. To experience the love of God, Guru Nanak tells us to deeply contemplate the greatness of the One. This will open us to Vaheguru's grace allowing us to experience God's love.

How do you experience the love of God? - Japji Sahib Podcast EP4

What it takes to do anything in life is so intricately and beautifully designed by the One. When we surrender in awe to that divine system, we begin to step out of our ego — and into the experience of Vaheguru. This episode explores the subtle, often confusing question: When should we speak, and when should we stay silent? It’s not as simple as it seems. And if you’re struggling with something in life — ask yourself: How badly do you want to change? From 49 minutes onwards, we go into powerful steps on what to do, taking support from the shabad Keeta Lorreeai Kam.
