The In­spi­ra­tions ses­sions at the Jakarta Gur­mat School are a unique at­tempt to in­still Sikhi spirit and love for Sikhism. The young stu­dent-ac­tivist briefly shares her ex­pe­ri­ences.

The reg­u­lar in­spi­ra­tional ses­sions or­gan­ised by grad­u­ates -one boy and six girls of the Gur­mat School Jakarta are truly an in­spi­ra­tion to love and re­spect Sikhi.

Dur­ing the in­spi­ra­tional ses­sions, pop­u­larly called IPS, stu­dents re­cite Shabads and nar­rate his­tor­i­cal Sakhis on a given topic in an in­ter­est­ing way that not only mo­ti­vates the Sadh San­gat to learn more about Gur­bani but also to im­ple­ment the fun­da­men­tals of Sikhi in our daily lives.

So far, four In­spi­ra­tional ses­sions have been held on the themes of Guru Gob­ind Singh Ji, Chaar Sahibzade, Guru Ar­jun Dev Ji and Guru Nanak Dev Ji. These ses­sions last for 90 min­utes. Start­ing from April 2017 when we cel­e­brated Vaisakhi -the Birth of the Khalsa, these ses­sions are very pop­u­lar among the youth. Dur­ing Vaisakhi, we re­cited the story and jour­ney of Guru Gob­ind Singh Ji’s en­tire life, from the day he was born till he passed away at Nanded Sahib which was widely ap­pre­ci­ated by the San­gat.

Dur­ing the nar­ra­tion of the Sakhis, we sang Shabads to main­tain the San­gat’s in­ter­est in the story-telling.

Many mem­bers of the San­gat were in tears, ex­tremely touched and mes­merised with the Sakhis of the Gu­rus. All stu­dents and par­ents yearn for more such in­spi­ra­tional ses­sions and that is a good sign.
