SGGS Academy is proud to announce a new series of programs called Rah-e-Mohabbat tailored to shine a light onto the path of Sikhi from the view point of exemplary Sikhs like Bhai Gurdas Ji, Bhai Nand Lal Ji and Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji. The 34 sessions are designed to bring the participants on a journey and shine a new perspective on this beautiful and satisfying path towards Gursikhi. Each topic has been made on the important keywords and they will be dealt in greater detail along with practical examples in the form of Sakhis. The aim of Rah-e-Mohabbat is to make the participants self-reflect and submit to our Guru.

Rah-e-Mohabbat

In the 1st episode, we will cover the introduction to the Rah-e-Mohabbat series which aims to provide a better understanding to this beautiful path of Sikhi. The need, objective, framework, key learning outcomes are covered. This talk is also available on YouTube where it is presented alongside slides.

1. Rah - E-Mohabbat- Introduction

The second episode covers a critical principal in Sikhi called Pairi Pavna which means bowing to the feet. This presentation will cover on why the feet are great, what is the Gurmat way, how has Bhai Gurdas Ji regarded them, excerpts from our history where the feet has been exalted and non-compliance to this principal. Finally, this concept is co-related with the story of Bhai Lehna Ji.

The 3rd episode of Rah-e-Mohabbat is on the concept of Gareebi within Sikhi. Gareebi is a state of no self-ego/pride in which Gurmukhs live their life where there is no sense of ‘me’ or ‘I’ and all that remains is the Guru. This vital concept has been supported by history and references from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji and Baba Sadhu Ji's compositions.

This 4th episode of Rah-e-Mohabbat covers the Gursikhi behaviour of Niv Chalna or selfless humility in all conduct. It is the virtue of humility without any expectation in return. Niv Chalna can only be learnt from the Guru. The greatness in Guru’s house is gauged by how low one proclaims him/herself and the one who looses has actually won. The Guru is the protector of the low and we can only enjoy His protection if we are low/humble.

The 5th Episode covers, Sidak or faith. Sidak is to have an unshakable believe and conviction that the Guru is the sole saviour and the most precious. It is the complete trust and confidence that Guru Ji is the greatest. Sidak is also to love Guru Ji above the mind, body, wealth. Sikhs throughout time have shown exemplary Sidak and has thus laid the direction on this path of Gurmat for all of us.  References are taken from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji, Bhai Nand Lal Ji and Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Ji

5. Rah - E-Mohabbat- Sidak

The 7th episode is on Bhana which is the continuation from the previous episode of Karam. Bhana is the inevitable destiny or reality as written in Pralbhad. Bhana is also known as ‘Hukam’ and Rjaa. Bhana cannot be changed. Acceptance of Bhana or the inevitable only comes to those whom the Guru imparts his grace (Nadar).
While accepting Will with pleasure, a Gurmukh never expects for liberation or anything else beside the sanctuary of Guru’s feet.
