Workshops
We are products of our environment. The individuals in our lives help shape us in profound ways. Our values, perspectives, and even our actions are influenced by others. Psychologists call this peer pressure and our Gurus called it sangat. We all know who we should be hanging out with, but in reality, who really influences our thinking and behaviours? How do I find the elusive sadh sangat that our Gurus deem so important to our spiritual development?
Kam, Krod, Lob, Moh, and Ahankaar. They’re labelled many things – evils, sins, and even thieves. They’re inherent to the human being. So what are we to do about them? Are we to extinguish them or conquer them? What real relevance do they have to our lives?
3) Institution Building: Time For A Sikh Youth Gurdwara?
Across the Sikh diaspora, Sikh youth are struggling to effectively engage with their local religious institutions. In many cities, frustration with parochial, power-hungry violence-prone committees has reached a boiling point. Has the time come for Sikh youth to launch their own gurdwaras? If so, how would they be unique? How would they avoid the challenges faced by our existing institutions? What would it take to launch one?
