"To the world, he is Bhai Vir Singh, the “Sixth River of Panjab.” To me, he is simply Pitaji. There are no family or blood ties, but there is a bond that transcends time and space. He used to say, “the ones who want to meet me, can meet me through my writings.” I met him through his verses. His monumental work, Guru Nanak Chamatkar, brought everything to life for me and I learned about the First Nanak through his eyes. His expositions of the Sabad, kindled within me the desire to experience the fragrance of Nam. This talk is about my journey of discovery, and falling in love with Sikhi, through Pitaji’s inspirational writings."

“It is a strange morning indeed—the 31st of October. Here, where I live, it is Halloween. It is a day of costumed imaginings, yet marks a much deeper resonance in my heart. Today also holds layers of history, faith, pain, and resilience for the Sikh community. It is the 40th year since the Sikh Genocide of 1984, a wound that remains raw and vivid. Today is also Bandi Chor Divas, the Emancipation Day in Sikh history, and Diwali, the festival of light celebrated across the broader community. So I sit in silence and ask myself—what do I acknowledge? What do I celebrate? What do I remember?” Author: Inni Kaur (@InniKaur) Continue Reading: social.sikhri.org/in-memory-reso… #SikhCommunity #Sikhi #Sikh #Wisdom #Sikhs #SikhGenocide
