  • What is the significance of the Ramayan story in our lives today? Is there a deeper meaning to the tales of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravan? It's the story of state of mind where there is no conflict.
    How do we use this story to get deeper spiritual understanding to the Diwali festival of lights and the Sikh festival of Bandhi Chorr Divas of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.
    Valmiki Ramayana is mentioned in all the Sikh scriptures including
    Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
    Dasam Granth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (Chaubis Avtar) and
    Bhai Gurdas Vaaran
    In this workshop we go over these topics:
    00:00 How does Diwali relate to Sikhism?
    7:10 Ramayana / The story of Diwali
    17:24 What Gurbani says about Diwali and Ramayana
    22:20 How is Ramayana the story of YOU
    24:48 What does Raam represent in Ramayana?
    28:12 What does Sita actually mean?
    29:57 Marriage of Raam and Sita / Light enters human
    32:38 Ravan is Maya (delusion) / materialism
    35:45 Ravan captures Sita / when ego wins
    38:46 Raam saves Sita / ego death
    43:22 Raam banishes Sita / losing attachments / enlightenment
    46:19 Recognise the light within you

      Not only Sikhs but Hindus also have deviated from their true Path.
      If we study in depth Sikhism and Advaita/non-dualistic Vedanta are monoism, not monotheism. Sikhi believes in Seva and the same has also been said by Swamy Vivekananda for Hinduism i.e. "service to mankind is service to God". He also urged his followers to follow the path of Dashmesh Guru.
      Today Hindus mostly follow the dualistic Vedanta, which can be compared with Monotheism or Polytheism.
      We are seekers hence we always keep evolving and learning. Today we are deviated due to Continuous Wars and violence among our own brothers.

    Such deep philosophical discourse on the name of Ram.
    I dint know the sikh scriptures are so deeply spiritual.
    P. S. - after listening to shri satpal ji i have understood that it's just our ego when we say Sikhism is part of hinduism, and the same way it's ego when sikh people say we have nothing to do with hindus and hinduism.
    Sikhism and hinduism are very different, but the difference is just like that of a lotus and a lily, different on surface but fundamentals are same. Our fundamentals are same and they are Dharma ie righteousness, satya ie truth, ahimsa ie universal love and sewa ie service.

      Anand Pandey Thank you and you are true bro. I enjoy listening to Sadhguru. I enjoy reading Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramhansa, they always cleared a lot of spiritual concepts of mine related to Gurbani. Despite this I never get a feeling that I should convert to Hinduism or join Ramakrishna Society. It’s just that my knowledge of Dharam gets more deep from inside. So it’s useless to quarrel over silly things when it comes to Religion.. Every being should have a Ramakrishna approach who converted to Islam, Christianity to taste God from different places and in different guises, Yet I won’t suggest anyone to convert and I am sure neither would Ramakrishna would want it only thing that matter is to love God (Brahman, Akaal, Waheguru, Mahakaal whatever name it is addressed) we must love his creation and in his creation all Temples, Cultures, Languages are included. That’s my understanding bro.

      Limited study of hinduism makes hindu god limited .
      Moreover this sikh guru has given the new dimension to ramayana i beacame fan of him . Great vision taking out communities from political level to philosophical level .

All these religions were originated on land of 'BHARAT', our mother land is bharat, and our ancestors fought for this land to secure our culture from invaders.

      Upanishads (vedic texts) are very much spiritual in nature, gave rise to alot of the philosophy of Buddhism and Sikhism.
      Mool mantra in Sikhism is identical to a shloka in upanishad.
      Sarbat da pala is literally another thing thats derived from a vedic shloka.
      Dont let politics divide you. Just like you are distinct from your parents, but you are still from your parents. Majority of religious people havent read their own scriptures. This is what causes clashes. If any of the dharmic religions read their scriptures all would make sense. Path of spirituality is very close to all of these dharmic religions

    Lighting candles and lamps symbolises not only the dispelling of external darkness but also the illumination of the inner self. The act of lighting represents the pursuit of knowledge, inner wisdom, and the transformation of one's inner being from ignorance to enlightenment.
