A talk show where we explore the inspiring lives of various Gurmukhs throughout Sikh History.

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!

Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji Mastuana Sahib | Gurmukh Series [PART 1]

Naam Simran - Sant Baba Darshan Singh Ji. Full Naam Simran Saadhna Divaan also uploaded onto Soundcloud. 

Naam Simran (Track 1) - Sant Baba Darshan Singh Ji

A simple meditation for beginners to help relieve stress, manage anxiety lear how to relax. This guided meditation is a great introduction on how to meditate and use mindfulness in your life. Many people struggle with spiritual and religious practices such as prayers and worship as they are unable to make a connection with their religion as they are caught up in the worries of the mind and have not learned how to unwind with meditation before they begin. 

We're very pleased to present two guided meditations to help people overcome common issues that we are always asked about:
- I don't feel connected during Nitnem/Naam Simran
- How to stop worrying / control stress & anxiety
- How to feel Oneness with nature

You can find these meditations on YouTube and also download them for free on SoundCloud.
As an introduction to meditation, this video provides an easy breath meditation for beginners. This is a simple meditation that will help you to get into a quiet and personal space within yourself. It can be used as a starting point every time you begin meditating, yoga, prayers, chanting or any spiritual practice.

It can also be used whenever you’re feeling stressed, angry, overwhelmed and just want to get yourself back into a space of inner peace and tranquility.

An ideal position to do this is when you’re sitting down. You can also try this while walking or lying down.

In just a few minutes you will feel calmer, a sense of stillness and completely relaxed. The purpose of this meditation is to quieten the thoughts that lead to worries and anxiety and to elevate your awareness away from your personal concerns to a wider perspective. This will help to gain an appreciation that every moment and each breath is a gift from the universe. And every breath with which you remember this gift will bring you bliss and the feeling of perfection and harmony all around you.
