Show Notes

What is the significance of the Ramayan story in our lives today? Is there a deeper meaning to the tales of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravan? It's the story of state of mind where there is no conflict.

How do we use this story to get deeper spiritual understanding to the Diwali festival of lights and the Sikh festival of Bandhi Chorr Divas of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.

Valmiki Ramayana is mentioned in all the Sikh scriptures including Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Dasam Granth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (Chaubis Avtar) and Bhai Gurdas Vaaran

Have you ever felt emotionally numb, disconnected, or unable to experience joy, even when everything seems "fine" on the surface?Many of us spend years trying to escape stress, anxiety, overthinking, and emotional pain, only to discover that a life without suffering can still feel strangely empty. Why does this happen?In this talk, Satpal Singh explores the profound wisdom of Sehaj, a central teaching in Gurbani that points towards a state of natural balance, inner stability, and deep peace. Rather than chasing happiness or fighting our emotions, Gurbani invites us to discover a way of being that remains grounded amidst life's highs and lows.✨ About Nanak Naam ✨ Nanak Naam Charity is on a mission to awaken minds and transform lives around the world through Guru Nanak's spirituality.
