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.

It really has been a busy last 3 months. I also switched from PC to Mac which has also meant being slightly distracted. I have noticed that in Safari the first paragraph is not showing-up properly when seeing my post from the home-page. It appears correctly when you actually view it via the specific article link...? Can anyone who is viewing via Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Opera let me know if they have any issues re: the above.

Thanks.

Naam is the nut in the shell perhaps giving rise to the term naamnuts for those nuts about naam :) Truely it is the seed of sikhism which grows to blossom in the heart.

Khalsa Jee,

couldn't agree more. the whole purpose of Satguroo Sahib Jee was and forever always will be to give Naam to destined spiritual seekers. GurbaaNee makes this clear in many places - if you want Naam, then you must come to Satguroo Sahib jee.
