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]

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ae-81LnzSY0

Join us on a journey of love and devotion as we delve into the story of Mohina and Sohina, two Sikhs who learned the true meaning of humility and service. Bhai Baljit Singh brings this powerful story to life, reminding us that even in our moments of weakness, we have the power to open our hearts and Guru Ji will hold us as we fall into their feet. 

This moving story is accompanied with the beautiful Shabad "Mohi Na Bisaro Mai Jan Teraa" sung by Bhai Rajan Singh. Allow this Shabad to fill your heart with inspiration and grace as we learn from Mohina and Sohina's journey and strive to serve with love and devotion.

Amazing must watch Katha & Kirtan on the beautiful shabad (hymn) 'Terai Bharosai Pyare'. If you read the translation of this shabad on iGurbani or SikhiToTheMax , you might find the translation a bit difficult to connect to. For this Katha (discourse), Bhai Baljit Singh improved on the interpretation of the shabad helping bring the meaning to life. In reflection of this shabad (hymn), Bhai Baljit Singh explains in depth how just like a child sometimes falls over, they can return to the safe laps of their parents, in the same way, we can rely and fall into the loving laps of that One, who resides in the energy of the Sangat (holy congregation). 

Bhai Baljit Singh explains the need for improving the translations of Gurbani and asks for the blessings of the Sangat to work on this project.

Listen to the electric and emotional Kirtan sung beautifully by Bhai Rajan Singh and hear other inspirational stories how Basics of Sikhi and the warm Sangat (congregation) has saved so many people in so many different ways.

In loving memory of Bhai Jagraj Singh, Bhai Baljit Singh shares what it means to take a step and how impactful just taking one step in the right direction can be. It can feel like we're trying and keep messing up (Kuchaji) but let's not miss out on asking ourselves 'how can I improve' and then never giving up!

When you hear the name Jagraj Singh, what comes to mind? Bhai Baljit Singh asks his family, close friends, colleagues, sangat and his instagram followers this question and shares some of those answers in this video!

In celebration of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's prakash purab (coming into the world), Bhai Baljit Singh shares the sakhi (true story) of when Guru Nanak Dev Ji as a teenager is singing out, asking for someone to sit with him and sing of that One. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was called mad and crazy; for us it's in this kind of madness of devotion that we can cut through our layers of our ego and connect to something deeper. Enjoy and experience the bliss in this video when we sing that very shabad Guru Nanak Dev Ji sung as a teenager. Also, experience the moments when Bhai Rajan Singh leads the whole divan singing a dharna ਨੀ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਸੱਚੇ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ
ਰਖ ਲੈ ਗਰੀਬ ਜਾਣ ਕੇ, meaning, 'I am Yours, Yours, Yours, O King. Save me, seeing me as your humble child!'



Bibi Hurleen Kaur - Aarti Kirtan - Birmingham 9.11.24

In this video, we experience the light-heartedness and depth of Suthre Shah and how it requires a level of humility to be carefree and playful. With so many funny moments in this divan, we learn that if we can just for a moment, try to step outside of our problems, no matter how difficult they might be, we can start to break away those layers that separate us from Vaheguru. Vaheguru is always there listening - can we reach out with our arms open like a child and receive that hug? As always, enjoy the powerful and emotion filled Kirtan from Bhai Rajan Singh and Bibi Gurpreet Kaur. Congratulations to Bhai Bhagat Singh, who shares Kirtan with the sangat for the first time at the Somerset Divan.

Learning to live a life of gratitude can often be difficult. Generally, our lives are based on focusing on what we don’t have rather than the countless blessings we gain with each and every breath.

 In this Podcast Short Clip, Sant Baba Shaam Singh Ji transforms our outlook on life; maybe we don’t have all the materialistic pleasures others may have, but what about the priceless gifts we have, that we wouldn’t exchange for all the money in the world?
