Mental Health and Wellbeing by Nanak Naam

Show Notes

Is religion the path, or just a pointer? Many today feel disconnected from rigid institutions, yet deeply drawn to something beyond. In this podcast, Satpal Singh explores the real difference between religion and spirituality; one rooted in outer identity, the other in inner experience. Understand why spirituality is rising, and how ancient wisdom can free you from blind belief and reconnect you with your soul. Live event with Satpal Singh, recorded in Nairobi, Kenya on 10th November 2024.

Should you speak up when someone does something wrong, or stay silent to avoid upsetting them? Sometimes, speaking the truth can hurt someone's feelings. But staying silent can mean allowing harmful behaviour to continue.

Discover how to distinguish genuine compassion from conflict avoidance, honesty from harshness, and standing up for what is right from acting out of ego. When should you speak up? When should you stay silent?

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.
