EPISODE 27In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Simran Jeet Singh, a scholar, educator, writer, and activist, as he discusses his experiences as a Sikh American, social justice work, and his book “The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life”. Singh’s experiences growing up as a Sikh American in Texas, facing racism and discrimination, shaped the moral framework of his life’s work. Singh highlights that embodying the light of Sikh wisdom and faith principles guides him in social justice work and activism to build a more compassionate world. Singh also addresses the silence of interfaith groups on issues like Palestine, attributing it to fear and discomfort with difficult conversations.
Singh’s story is a reminder for us all of how faith, identity, and compassion can be a driving force in making us agents of positive change. Faith traditions, he notes, consistently teach that the deepest revolutions start within. |
