Singapore Sikhs - Talk
2023-11-25 17:00 - 18:30 | The Pod @ NLB, Level 16, National Library Building, 100 Victoria Street, Singapore, 188064, Singapore
Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share that CSTC and NLB in association with the Singapore Khalsa Association (SKA), the Sikh Advisory Board (SAB), and the Young Sikhs Association (YSA) will be bringing you a special introduction to the Singapore Sikh community – a rich and diverse sub-ethnic group among Singapore Indians. A community that has been in Singapore since the days of Stamford Raffles and which has produced soldiers, scholars, professionals and politicians, among others. And the community that gave the world the pulsating Bhangra dance!

Sikhism is one of the world’s youngest major religions, dating back to the late 15th century. Yet, the 25 million adherents of Sikhism are distinctly visible worldwide, including the 12,000 to 15,000 in Singapore. The Sikh, meaning a ‘disciple’ or ‘learner’, is committed to the core tenets of Sikhism, which is a way of life that uniquely weaves together art, culture and faith. This amalgamation is deeply influenced by the principles of equality, social justice, service to humanity and tolerance for other religions.

Join us on a journey to gain insights into the essential philosophy and cultural practices of the Sikhs! You’ll also get a glimpse of their artifacts, dance, music and, of course, a taste of their unique cuisine!

We hope you will come, see, and enjoy the presentation!

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, 25 November at the POD, NLB at 5pm!

Confirm your seat by registering soonest – limited places!

Kirtan - music meditation for healing (Newton)
2024-02-02 19:30 - 21:00, 2024-04-05 19:30 - 21:00, 2024-06-07 19:30 - 21:00, 2024-07-05 19:30 - 21:00 | Mindful Space Pte Ltd, 10 Winstedt Road, Block A, #02-02, 227977, Singapore
Many people think of Yoga as physical exercises to enhance one’s physique, with an occasional short meditation for its calming effects. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. How do we we deal with our intense human emotions or trauma that accumulated as we progress in our lives?

According to ancient yoga, the human body is made up of the multiple layers—physical, mental, emotional; and there are many practices to bring light to our being.

Emotions are vital and sacred; like pockets of energy waiting to be released; emotions are not obstacles but our guiding lights to finding the ultimate bliss in life. The ancient yogis gave us Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, to channel that energy and guide us back to our source.

Bhakti is about a relationship with the universe and it is all encompassing that it embraces every color on the emotional spectrum. In Bhakti Yoga, we lead with our hearts. We sing, we dance, we play music, write poetry, cook, paint and do everything with love —as part of our interaction with the Divine.

Kirtan, the practice of chanting mantras, is perhaps the most important technique in bhakti yoga (Man means “Mind” and Tra means “to Control”).

The practice is simple but internally it works magic in our hearts. Externally, we’re just repetitively singing with simple melodies and a few Sanskrit words. But it helps us to put our analytical minds aside and singing from within. We sing from our heart that is crying out for love. We channel whatever emotion we’re feeling into our voice.

Deep healing happens, walls will melt, wounds will heal, trauma will heal, hate & unforgiveness will dissolve. Long-submerged emotions come to the surface.

As we sing, we immerse ourselves in an endless river of love from the universe. And we enter into a meditative & blissful state that allow our hearts to heal and re-open the infinite universal source of love within us.

There is no need to understand the language of the mantra. No need for mental speculation nor any intellectual adjustment. It is automatic, from the spiritual platform, and anyone can take part without any previous qualification.

PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS:
Sembawang is renowned for its vibrant history, having been home to a rubber estate, the British naval base and multi-ethnic communities. However, did you know that Sembawang was also affectionately called Kochu Keralam or “Little Kerala” in yesteryears? This was due to the large Malayalee community who lived and worked there, forming key associations such as the Sree Narayana Mission, Naval Base Kerala Library and Singapore Kathakali Yogam. The Malayalees hail from the South Indian state of Kerala and form the second largest sub-ethnic group within Singapore’s Indian population. Join us for a weekend of engaging bus tours as we explore selected historical areas and landmarks on the National Heritage Board’s Sembawang Heritage Trail. The tours will be led by independent researcher Marcus Ng, who conducted research for the trail. Additionally, selected members of Singapore’s Malayalee community who grew up in Sembawang will join us, sharing their personal stories of life in the heartlands to add a unique and heartfelt layer to our journey.

Fees: $10
