  2. This formula is the way to Vaheguru | Jat Pahara

    This formula is the way to Vaheguru | Jat Pahara

    Guru Nanak Dev Ji uses the analogy of making gold coins to explain the exact formula to get to Vaheguru. Just like a goldsmith needs a workshop to work in, our workshop to take steps towards self-realisation needs to be self-control of our senses. The analogy continues in this amazing final pauri of Japji Sahib. ▶️ https://youtu.be/OwevCtqZ06s Topics: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:12 - Jat Pahara 00:05:56 - Sakhi of Kartarpur Sahib naming - Where are you truly from? 00:23:32 - Jat Pahara 00:32:22 - What's Baljit Singh's goal in life? 00:36:17 - Jat Pahara 00:40:07 - Airan Mat Ved Hathiaar 00:53:42 - Bhau Khala Agan Tap Taao 01:04:03 - Bhaanddaa Bhaao 01:09:02 - Gharreeai Shabad 01:10:50 - Jin Ko Nadar 01:11:18 - Nanak Nadaree #Spirituality #Sikhi #JapjiSahibPodcast

  4. What It Means To Be Beautiful - Saram Khand

    What It Means To Be Beautiful - Saram Khand

    "The chisel of humility carves you to immense incomparability."  In Saram Khand—the realm of humility described in Japji Sahib—our hardened ego is chiselled away. This process is often difficult, but it is through this inner sculpting that true spiritual beauty emerges. Humility is not weakness; it is a true strength—the shedding of the ego. In this episode, Bhai Baljit Singh and Bibi Kirandeep Kaur delve into the divine wisdom of Japji Sahib. They reflect on the inspiring sakhi (true story) of Bhai Nand Lal Ji, a celebrated scholar and poet in the court of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The story recounts a powerful moment of humility: when Guru Ji, disguised in simple attire, approached Bhai Nand Lal Ji late at night requesting langar. Bhai Nand Lal Ji's response revealed the depth of their humility and love for the Guru. Through this discussion, we are reminded that the path to divine union is not through pride, but through sincere humility. ▶️ https://youtu.be/yP3IFuP2xfk Topics: 00:00 - Introduction 00:39 - Giaan Khand Meh Giaan Parchand 07:36 - Tithai Naad Binodh Kodd Anand 10:00 - Saram Khand Ki Baani Roop 16:51 - When you think of someone and they message you 20:45 - Saram Khand Ki Baani Roop 22:58 - Sakhi of Bhai Nand Lal Ji 37:56 - Tithai Ghaarat Ghareeai Bahut Anoop 43:53 - Ta Keeaa Galaa Katheeaa Na Jaahi 44:29 - Je Ko Kahai Pichhai Pachtaahi 46:24 - Tithai Ghareeai Surat Mat Man Budh 53:21 - Tithai Ghareeai Sura Sidha Ki Sudh #Spirituality #Sikhi #JapjiSahibPodcast

    This practice can end your suffering - Giaan Khand

    In this episode, we dive deep into Giaan Khand – the realm of divine knowledge as described by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Japji Sahib. Here, Guru Ji opens our eyes to the vastness of creation, pointing us towards the sheer wondrousness of the Divine. Instead of fixating on any single part of the creation, Guru Nanak Dev Ji gives us the path of “Vah” – awe and wonder. Bhai Baljit Singh also summarises the 5 Khands in this episode. ▶️ https://youtu.be/l1eitDvrTOQ 🎧 https://japjisahibpodcast.captivate.fm 🎧 https://on.soundcloud.com/Kz2eQg6oZl7hyS1n1C 💬 Share your reflections in the comments!

    How do I know if I'm living a righteous life? In this episode of Dharam Khand, we dive deep into the Guru's wisdom of living righteously, and divine accountability.

  7. A Divine Code: The Hidden System Behind Everything You Do - Akhan Jor

    A Divine Code: The Hidden System Behind Everything You Do - Akhan Jor

    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. ▶️ https://youtu.be/-a-nTlICSrk 💬 Share your reflections in the comments!

    Madness is the only way! - Ik Du Jeebhau

    It's tempting to imitate a devotee or someone who inspires you and think it might help you get closer to what they experience. Guru Nanak Dev Ji explains that it would be like an ant attempting to copy a bird flying high in the sky! Basically, don't do it! Instead, climb the steps down to humility in praise of that One who is forgiving, nurturing, loving, sustaining and an infinite amount of qualities and attributes this caption cannot begin to express. In that deep state of loving devotion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji shows us how to go truly mad in love with Vaheguru! ▶️ https://youtu.be/qPRLJ7ahI_Q 🎧 https://on.soundcloud.com/5MnxFm7KrSSSHeuP9 Topics: 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:01:23 - Introduction 00:02:35 - Feeling like you're going crazy 00:04:56 - Ik Du Jeebhau 00:09:35 - How people would look at Guru Nanak Dev Ji 00:10:42 - What is Bhagti for a Sikh? 00:14:45 - Being out of beat from the world 00:15:57 - Love my Kes 00:17:03 - When Guru Nanak came out of the vei nadi 00:19:08 - Not going to certain events 00:26:42 - Do you deserve to be joyous? 00:28:51 - Lakh Lakh Gerra 00:31:46 - Et Raahi Pat Paavarreeaa 00:32:50 - Try this challenge 00:39:08 - Sun Galaa Akaas Ki 00:43:36 - Sakhi of Kabir Ji's next door neighbour 00:49:21 - Sakhi of Baba Nand Singh Ji 00:50:38 - Sakhi of Tulsa Dasi 00:55:49 - Nanak Nadaree Paaeeai 00:59:42 - If you feel you can't be forgiven 01:01:10 - Closing #Spirituality #Sikhi #Creation
