Commemorating 550th Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev ji
Please join the South Asian Studies Institute for a community discussion on the life and impact of the philosophy of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji on humanity as we commemorate his 550th Birth year. Join Dr. Harjeet Singh Grewal and Dr. Satwinder Kaur Bains for an open dialogue that seeks to spark our contemporary thoughts on the unique spiritual, social and political platforms of Guru Nanak’s philosophy. From the all-encompassing Ikk Oankar to the inclusive Sarbat da Bhala we want to explore how our faith tradition affect our daily lives. Discussion is open to all in a respectful, safe and exploratory manner.
Dr. Harjeet Grewal teaches Sikhism and Religious Philosophy courses in the Department of Classics and Religion at the University of Calgary. He completed his dissertation, titled “Janamsākhī: Retracing Networks of Interpretation,” at the University of Michigan in 2017. His research interests include Sikh philosophy, diaspora, and religious literature.
Dr. Satwinder Kaur Bains is the Director of the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley. She has a research interest in Sikh historiographies and is particularly interested on the Sikh Rahit Maryada’s definition of a Sikh, rules of service and conduct of Sikhs.
