This Martyr Woke the Entire Sikh Nation! | Baba Tara Singh Ji Vaan

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 19:15:00 +0000

300 years ago, one man’s refusal to bow down sparked a revolution that saved the Sikh identity. In this hard-hitting episode of BOSTV, we dive deep into the life and Shaheedi (martyrdom) of Baba Tara Singh Ji Vaan. By 1726, after the Shaheedi of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur (1716), many Sikhs had begun to settle into "normal" life, attempting to integrate into a society that oppressed them... until Baba Tara Singh Ji stood up. We explore the incredible accounts from Bhai Rattan Singh Bhangoo’s Prachin Panth Prakash, detailing how a simple dispute over grazing land turned into a legendary stand against the Mughal Empire. This wasn't just a battle; it was the birth of the Sikh Renaissance and the catalyst for the first-ever Sarbat Khalsa. Join us as we uncover the story of the 22 Singhs who chose death over dishonor and reminded the Panth that a Sikh's first loyalty is to the Guru, not to a tyrant's peace.

A Diwali / Bandi Chhor Divas Special | Finding Sikhi Series

This Diwali, as the world celebrates light over darkness and freedom from captivity, we share the powerful story of Dilveer Singh, a man who truly lived that message.

As a teenager, he got caught in the wrong crowd, falling into drug and alcohol addiction that eventually led to prison. It was inside those prison walls, in the darkest place of his life; that Dilveer discovered the light of Guru Sahib. Through Sikhi, he found freedom not just from addiction, but from the pain and emptiness that once defined him. 🔥 Watch this deeply moving episode of our Finding Sikhi Series as we explore how the message of Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas, light conquering darkness, freedom through faith, came alive through Dilveer’s journey.

[NEW] Ex-Muslim Was Lost Until She Found Sikhi

Tue, 27 May 2025 19:00:00 +0000

From Islam to Sikhi: Haneet Kaur’s Powerful Journey of Faith, Healing & Identity!

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Haneet Kaur, who shares her powerful story of leaving Islam and embracing Sikhism (Sikhi). Raised in a traditional Muslim Bengali family, Haneet struggled with feelings of disconnection, depression, and fear of judgement when questioning her faith.

Everything changed when her husband began coming closer to Sikh teachings, and she first heard the Naam Simran he was listening to. The peace and spiritual connection she felt was unlike anything she had ever experienced in Islam — and it marked the beginning of her journey into Sikhi.

In this podcast, Haneet bravely opens up about:

🔹 Her struggles growing up in Islam and not feeling spiritually fulfilled

🔹 Facing anxiety, depression, and fear of asking questions about her Muslim upbringing

🔹 Her first emotional experience with Naam Simran and the peace she found in Sikhism

🔹 Telling her family she had converted from Islam to Sikhi

🔹 Taking Amrit and wearing the Dastaar proudly as a Sikh woman

🔹 Her experience of the Anand Karaj, the Sikh marriage ceremony, and how it compared to her past Muslim wedding

🔹 The deep love she has developed for Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Khalsa way of life

This is a story of courage, transformation, and spiritual awakening — for anyone questioning their path or seeking truth beyond labels. Whether you're exploring Sikhi, coming from a Muslim background, or simply love hearing powerful journeys of faith, this conversation is not to be missed.

A Revolutionary Blueprint for Sikh Sovereignty in the 21st Century

In this groundbreaking conversation, Bhai Mandhir Singh outlines the bold and visionary legacy of Khalsa Raj—rooted in the revolutionary legacy of the Misls and the enduring institutions of the Guru Khalsa Panth.

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.

[TRAGIC] Revealing The Forgotten, Sikh Genocide | Never Trust Media

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:25:00 +0000

In the final Installment of our special 3-part podcast series marking 40 years since the November 1984 Sikh Genocide in Delhi, we delve into the aftermath of one of the most tragic and horrific chapters in modern Sikh history.

Part 3 focuses on the aftermath of the genocide, exploring the responses of the Indian Government, the international community, and the Sikh community. We dissect the various official commissions set up by the Indian government in an attempt to investigate the events of November 1984 — commissions that, rather than delivering justice, often served to bury the truth and protect the perpetrators of this organised violence.

Rather than viewing the genocide as a singular, isolated event tied solely to the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (as discussed in Part 1), we explore the broader context and systemic nature of the violence, showing how it was part of a larger pattern of discrimination and targeted attacks against Sikhs.

We also highlight the journey the Sikh community undertook to seek justice for the victims and survivors of the genocide, the challenges they faced, and the strides they have made in the pursuit of accountability.

Join us as we honour the memories of those lost in the 1984 Sikh Genocide and reflect on the lessons that must not be forgotten.

Sant Giani Sundar Singh Ji Podcast | Gurmukh Series

Sat, 04 Mar 2023 16:05:00 +0000

We are honoured to share the life of Sant Giani Sundar Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. Sant Ji holds strong ties with saints we are all familiar with, such as Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji, being their teacher & spiritual inspiration.

Although commonly associated with Sant Giani Jarnail Singh Ji, the term 'Bhindranwale' traces back to Sant Giani Sundar Singh Ji, as this village was their place of birth. Sant Giani Sundar Singh Ji’s father, Baba Khajaan Singh Ji used to live at this asthaan (place) of Bhindran (where Gurdwara Akhand Parkash now stands) and not only farmed, but planted the seeds of Sikhi for many Mahapursh to come.

In this podcast, Giani Jivanpal Singh Ji shares the early life of Sant Giani Sundar Singh Ji and the immense amount of Vidhia (spiritual knowledge) they were able to acquire from many Saint Scholars. The immense Bhagti (spiritual practice) of Sant Ji's mother and father and the teachings they gave to their son are explored. The amazing life of Sant Ji's teacher, Sant Baba Bishan Singh Ji has also been covered. Tune in for many beautiful stories of Guru Sahib Ji giving Partakh Darshan (divine glimpse) to their Gursikhs!

As always a big thank you to Giani Jivanpal Singh Ji for taking the time out to research the lives of such great Gurmukhs and sharing this with the wider sangat, so we can always feel inspired to walk the path of the saints.

Men’s Mental Health, Marriage & Self-Mastery | A Conversation with Dr Harbir Singh

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 10:30:00 +0000

Men’s Mental Health has become more of an issue in today’s world, as the male population generally tend not to open up and share their feelings. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. It also helps to generalise many things we are experiencing and removes this sense of loneliness and isolation.

In this Podcast, Dr Harbir Singh shares his personal experiences and thoughts on why Mental Health issues are so common today and the different tools available to us to manage our Mental Health. This leads on to topics of Self-Mastery and how to stay motivated in life and remove procrastination.

Dr Harbir Singh also speaks about their personal journey into Sikhi and provides practical examples and advice for those looking to get married and those who are married and may be struggling.

A big thank you to Dr Harbir Singh for taking time out of their busy schedule to share such gems of knowledge with us.

Sikh Animations and Creative Arts | Challenge The Darkness

Mon, 24 May 2021 16:30:00 +0000

Is there future in Sikh Animations and Creative Arts?

In this motivational podcast episode, we have a conversation with Eeshar Singh and Sirrjan Singh, two brothers who have started a new venture establishing an indie animation organisation known as Adrak Studios. Their first project is focused on a highly anticipated short animation called "Ru."

In this podcast, we speak about the broad topic of animation and its role in delivering positive messages associated with Sikhi. We also talk about how Sikhs could be supporting similar endeavours such as full-time Kirtanis (faith-based musicians), Artists, poets and historians.

A message from Adrak Studios:

"Ru" is a beautiful adventure story that centres around a timid oil lamp called Ru and his quest for Light amongst the Darkness. It's a story about empowerment, self-development and compassion. As a young indie studio, we want to share stories with messages and morals that are thought-provoking and impactful.

Vaisakhi, Panjabi Mentality & Conversions

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 15:00:00 +0000

In this podcast, we look at how Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi across the world and the lack of education within the Punjabi Sikh community around this auspicious occasion.

Vaisakhi is celebrated by millions of people across the world every single year. For Sikhs, this is a special time related to the birth of the Khalsa!

We also look to tackle issues faced by many people today, such as Alcohol abuse, pride of status, and greed of property and money. What is the Guru’s perspective on these topics? Where can a Sikh go for support on these difficult topics many people face in this world.

Spirituality, Psychology & Sikhi | A Conversation with Dr Darshan Kaur

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 15:00:00 +0000

Delving deep into the Psychology behind Sikhi/Spirituality and what makes up the mind. This conversation with Dr Darshan Kaur (Clinical Psychologist) allows us to understand the different areas within mental health and the things that trigger certain emotions or behaviors.

Within the 21st century, our lives become so busy that we forget to pay attention to the one thing needed for us to physically function, our mind. Our attention spans are getting shorter; we can't even wait 5 seconds to skip a YouTube Ad!

We sit down and watch tv whilst also being on our smartphones. We fall into states of depression, anxiety, and stress because of how fast the world is moving, the pressures of social media, and how we measure our own success.

Join the conversation around mental health and how spirituality can help us build a healthier state of mind.
