Most discussions and learning about Sikhi take place in a formal setting like a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), by way of Punjabi speaking Parchariks (educators) speaking to the congregation. In recent years, many educators have taken to online platforms such as YouTube & Facebook to inspire, educate and spread the message of Sikhi to the world, in English. Our successful and popular YouTube channel, Basics of Sikhi (be sure to subscribe!) has been hugely appreciated as a new, interactive and modern way of learning about Sikhi, especially by the younger generation, some of which who cannot speak or understand Punjabi so much. In a similar way, this Podcast, hosted by Sukhdeep Singh (Sikh educator at Basics of Sikhi) and Karanveer Singh (Sikh volunteer), is continuing that innovation by bringing learning about Sikhi to an informal and relaxed platform in the form of this talk show podcast. Sukhdeep & Karanveer will invite different guests to the Podcast to discuss various topics directly and indirectly related to Sikhi e.g. Sikh history, traditions, fitness, nutrition, mental health, music and the list…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-19T04:22:33.753148+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/basics-of-sikhi-podcast-1334481"},"episode":{"title":"[NEW] What Does a Sikh Look Like in a Nightclub?","slug":"new-what-does-a-sikh-look-like-in-a-nightclub","published_at":"2026-05-29T11:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/basics-of-sikhi-podcast-1334481/new-what-does-a-sikh-look-like-in-a-nightclub","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/basics-of-sikhi-podcast-1334481","url":"https://basicsofsikhipodcast.captivate.fm/episode/new-what-does-a-sikh-look-like-in-a-nightclub","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/b11a7900-7f11-4259-b28a-8ddebd50ad9d.mp3","summary":"From the dancefloor to wearing full Bana 24/7; Dharmveer Singh's journey to Sikhi is one of the most honest, inspiring and relatable stories we've ever heard on this podcast. Born and bred in Edinburgh, Scotland, Dharmveer grew up in a typical Punjabi household, Gurdwara on Sundays, meat on the table, and clubs on the weekends. But something was pulling him in a different direction. A cousin's invitation to a Rehras Sahib class, a moment in a nightclub mirror, and a heart attack at just 38 years old all became turning points on a path that would lead him to Amrit, full Bana, and a life devoted to Waheguru. This is a conversation about faith, identity, family pressure, and what it really means to live as a Gursikh in today's world, told with complete honesty, warmth, and a healthy dose of Scottish humour.
