  6. Denied the Guru's Teachings The Guru's teachings, the shabad, are the ultimate source of illumination for Sikhs today. However, those born in the diaspora have a huge language barrier to contend with, on top of all the other factors acting to separate them from those teachings. In response to this, a day long event entitled 'In Pursuit of Knowledge' is being held this Sunday 11th to accompany the Golden Temple exhibition in London, aimed at helping people better access Gurbani. The event will be primarily in English. The day will include the following 2 talks: ‘In the Beginning was the Word’ An overview of the incredibly diverse body of Sikh literature, from the spiritual poetry of Guru Nanak to the ballads of Guru Gobind Singh that inspired an empire, illustrated with rare and beautiful examples of Gurmukhi manuscripts. The speaker is Harminder Mann, an independent researcher and cataloguer of Sikh manuscripts based in Toronto, Canada. ‘The Sword of Knowledge’ A riveting examination of the fundamental concept of non-duality that lies at the heart of Sikh metaphysics, from the perspective of eighteenth-century saint-scholars. The speaker is Tirath Singh Nirmala, an initiated member of the Nirmala Sampradaya (the order of saint-scholars formalised by Guru Gobind Singh) and an author of two commentaries on classical Sikh texts. To book your tickets (£10 for the day including free lunch), please go to gt1588.eventbrite.com. For more information on this amazing exhibition, please go togt1588.com.

  9. Jugo Jug Atal - Not Despite Sikhs having prayed twice daily for their preservation, the majority of the original bungas (houses of learning & hospitality) were pulled down in 1947, following the dismantling of the system of patronage that had underpinned their role. The demise of this major cultural institution, which had helped to sustain the Sikh empire, has had a major impact on the cultural landscape of the Sikhs and the Punjab generally.The new Golden Temple exhibition explores this and other changes to the epicentre of the Sikh faith....Full Story: gt1588.com/blog/night-at-the-museum
