Basics of Sikhi Podcast

Religion & Spirituality Podcasts

Basics of Sikhi Podcast is a relaxed talk show about Sikhism (Sikhi) and topics related. Most discussions and learning about Sikhi take place in a formal setting like a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), by way of Punjabi speaking Parchariks (educators) speaking to the congregation. In recent years, many educators have taken to online platforms such as YouTube & Facebook to inspire, educate and spread the message of Sikhi to the world, in English. Our successful and popular YouTube channel, Basics of Sikhi (be sure to subscribe!) has been hugely appreciated as a new, interactive and modern way of learning about Sikhi, especially by the younger generation, some of which who cannot speak or understand Punjabi so much. In a similar way, this Podcast, hosted by Sukhdeep Singh (Sikh educator at Basics of Sikhi) and Karanveer Singh (Sikh volunteer), is continuing that innovation by bringing learning about Sikhi to an informal and relaxed platform in the form of this talk show podcast. Sukhdeep & Karanveer will invite different guests to the Podcast to discuss various topics directly and indirectly related to Sikhi e.g. Sikh history, traditions, fitness, nutrition, mental health, music and the list goes on!...

At a time of global instability, Hindutva aggression, and institutional collapse today, Bhai Mandhir Singh revisits the legacy of Sikh sovereignty as bottom-up praxis—anchored in the spiritual-political principles of Miri-Piri, Sarbat da Bhala, and Halemi Raj. Through vivid storytelling and rigorous historical reflection, he shows how the history of the Sikh Raj offers us a decentralized model of grassroots governance today, that is built around the protection of the weak and the revolutionary worldview of Gurmat. If you’ve ever wondered about the philosophical foundations and historical practice of Sikh sovereignty—and their relevance today—this is a must watch discussion. 📌 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE this podcast with others to spread awareness of our glorious heritage and the timeless spirit of the Khalsa. 🧠 Let’s keep Sikh history alive.
