A Matter of Course


The Sikh Course is an excellent training-course which is being offered by The Foundation for Sikh Thought. It's been designed and is delivered by some very passionate and professional individuals. It's absolutely free and open to anyone - so knowledge or experience, as well as preconceptions ;-) are absolutely irrelevant.

You may ask: What is the point of trying to express Sikhee through a training course? That's not a bad question. The answer is: Because relying upon others' opinions and experiences can sometimes NOT give you the kind of personal insight that Sikhee truly requires, in order to be experienced. It's all about personal perspective.

I went along quite recently - it's held at different locations all over the UK - and found it very refreshing and well put-together. It's a full day course so requires your commitment but the rewards are great. Most importantly, it focuses very much so on the concept of Naam which sadly most non-Sikhs, not to mention Sikhs, hardly ever get to find out about. Without Naam, Sikhee is pretty much just a shell.

Do check-out the web-links above - they'll be courses coming-up very soon in Gravesend, Hayes, Manchester and Milton Keyes.

Ps - You can follow The Sikh Course via Facebook.
