If you have the ears to listen this is a MUST. Thank you Basics for all the hard work. May Maharaj continue to bless you guys with this anmol Seva 🙏🏽

[@ksingh4528]

Remember Bhai Saab speaking at Punjabi school in Slough back in the day. Great public speaker. He is right about Mr Sevak, he was a great character and teacher. God bless his soul.

[@kirpalsingh6902]

Bhai sohan Singh ji is a gem. Amritvela still continues at Bhai sahibs house even till today!!!!

[@Osingh325]

Are there any videos or pics of Bhai Sohan Singh Ji??

[@JiviKanchu]

Amazing content, would love a part 2. It would be really beneficial to upload the Sikh parenting course online with a PDF of booklet for sangat that resides in India. Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki Fateh!

[@river1304]

I attended the parenting course, it was really good. I’m from the same generation as Jagjit Singh and the presentation of his observations really resonated with me. Highly recommend it, especially if you’re a parent from Punjab raising your kids in the west.

[@rajb2992]

Vjkkvjkf ji. Loved the description of Chardi Kala and how Naam at Amrit Vela slows your brain down, to develop Sehj. Looking forward to the rest of this interview.

Vah..Guru... Vjkkvjkf ji That was amazing. Bhai Jagjit Singh ji, would love to go to the parenting course. Could you record it and share on your youtube channel and BOS. The same way veer Bhai Jagraj Singh ji created videos of the Why Guru course... Your reach would be amazing. Loved every minute of this podcast... a must listen for everyone. Could relate to veer ji a lot as i was brought up in the 80's too. Thanks to BOS team for sharing the work of these inspiring GurSikhs. Vjkkvjkf ji.

[@asingh7874]

Found the bit about the history taught in the UK a bit odd, leading to identity issues in youth. British colonialism (east India co. onwards) is a relatively short period in the overall history of the UK. You look at the syllabus of any country that does history in schools and it will focus on their national history. Not trying to cover every group's history in that country at that time. Multigen households used explain 'your' history ..not relying on some external body, when folks moved around. If you leave it to western education to explain our history very soon they'll twist it to make out our shaheeds were trans and arungzeb was a white male.

[@chukkaprasad4465]

Tirupati balaji temple serves more than that

[@positivityandpeace4718]

Saas garaas leave it out.

[@rogerg-vc7jd]

[@Oldskoolmercs]

This is a fake user account.... only 2 months old no comments anywhere 😂

[@rogerg-vc7jd]

@@Oldskoolmercs so what? i can make a new account to watch videos and comment. every account has to start at some point.

[@gagank3388]

How did he bounce around questions ?
