So you believe you understand well the Sikh faith. Think again. Dr Karminder Singh Dhillon challenges you to reexamine your core understanding of Sikhi.

What does Guru Granth Sahib, or the Sikh scripture, say about after life? What about heaven and hell? Salvation? What happens to our ancestors? And does Gurbani actually accept — lock, stock and barrel — the commonly held belief on reincarnation – that one dies and is reborn as this or that?

In this series of 12 lectures, Karminder dissects all these issues, and more. This is not for the faint-hearted. Be prepared to be challenged. In many areas, Karminder tells it straight out, no sugar coating. So, consider yourself warned.

The reward: Unlearning and relearning the Sikh concepts like you’ve never done before. Trust us on this.

Karminder retired in April 2020 as a defence ministry deputy secretary general after a 32-year stint with the Malaysian civil service. In the late 1980s, he was the general secretary of Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia

He is author of this five recently released books: The Hijacking of Sikhi (420 pages), Understanding Sidh Goshat (271), Understanding Anand (162), Understanding Asa Di Vaar (289) and Understanding Nitnem: Jup, Sodar and Sohela. (308).

If you are prepared for this intensive course on Sikhi Concepts, then you are at the right spot.

Here’s what you do. We have outlined below all the links you need. You will get the links to the videos as well as the links to the author’s notes, which he has kindly shared with Asia Samachar. With this hand, you are now ready for a serious adventure.

  2. What I have learnt from these 12 videos, I haven’t learnt in 40 years of going to Gurdwara and listening to the ragi and kathakars. My local gurdwara conducts Gurbani reading and explanation classes which I had attended for some time, but our Granthi had been teaching the exact opposite. These videos have removed my fear of death and the so called afterlife. It’s a great feeling. At the same time, am feeling angry too that our Gurus wrote bani to remove these fears – but our gurdwara granthis, kathakars and translators work so hard to put the fear back into us – using Gurbani!

  3. AS has done a great service to Sikhs seeking to understand Gurbani concepts in the authentic sense – first by putting up these videos and write ups and now compiling them all in one place. My two college going children join me in expressing our sincere thanks to AS and Dr Karminder Singh. We are looking forward to more such unlearning and relearning.

And does Gurbani actually accept — lock, stock and barrel — the commonly held belief on reincarnation – that one dies and is reborn as this or that?<<<

    Asia Samachar has been promoting the author. I have been pointing out all along that Karminder Singh twists Gurbani meanings to fit with his agenda. The only response he and some of his supporters have offered is to use offensive language against me personally. None has been able to refute the details of twisting of Gurbani meanings by Karminder Singh, as pointed out by me.

    He opines that Gurbani rejects concepts like after life, reincarnation, Dharam Raj and Dargah. I have quoted Gurbani to show it clearly endorses these concepts. On the other hand, Gurbani rejects concepts of Devtas/gods, Devis/goddesses, rituals and superstitions and says so expressly. It rejects Surag/heaven and Narak/hell as being places and gives Gurmat version of these. I have quoted Gurbani on all this.

    Readers are cautioned to exercise care while reading what Karminder Singh writes, or listening to what he says.
