  Guru Harkrishan & the Greatest Superpower

  Thank you so much for your support! 

  In a world that inundates us and our young ones with superheroes with fantastical superpowers, we wanted to show the youth that our Gurus have the real superpowers that are based on love. In this spirit we've told the story of how Guru HarKrishan was selected as the next Guru and it was found that when he recited bani the wood palki would become soft like wax, whereas his brother Ram Rai did not create that same effect on the wood. Ram Rai did go on to exhibit many super powers like becoming weightless, manifesting gold and jewels out of nowhere, making himself invisible etc. but this display of spiritual powers was inferior to the power of his brother. The younger brother became the next Guru because of his superpowers: kindness and compassion.

  Guru Nanak and the Cannibal

  Thank you for your ongoing support of SikhNet Stories animation work! We have a new animation to announce - Guru Nanak and the CAnnibal. 

  Sometimes it's hard to imagine how cruel people can be! This story about Guru Nanak involves someone named Kauda whose heart was so twisted and hardened, that he would capture and then eat travelers! This time he captured Mardana - the companion of Guru Nanak! 

  Watch the new animation now, and please share widely.

  Guru Tegh Bahadur Gives His Head

  We are very blessed to inherit the teachings and history of our Gurus. In fact, it is written in Siri Guru Granth Sahib that "the stories of one's ancestors make the children good children." This is a pivotal story that lives on forever. 

  "Give Up Your Life But Do Not Give Up Your Faith"

  
  One of the great teachings of the Gurus is in the fact that it was only after great sacrifice that the Sikhs were taught warfare. This balance of sublime acceptance and ferocious self-defense is a value that is inherent in this epic tale. That is why we feel it is important to share it in a way that is easiest to understand. 

  We are happy to present this effort in honor of the Great Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib's 300th Joti Jot this year. May our future generations, and humanity itself, benefit from Guru Sahib and his message.

  Our latest animations!

  Thanks to you, we are happy to announce our most recent animations along with two new audio stories that will be animated in the future. 

   

  Singh the Lion: "Once upon a time there was a boy named Kirat Singh. Kirat went to school like any other boy, and he was really into animals. They were on his lunchbox, notebook, mural on his bedroom wall and his room was full of animal toys. “Animals are my friends, I love all the animals in my life!”  There was something special about Kirat… he had a very unique way of seeing the world… sometimes those animals in his room and in his notebooks would come alive!..."  

   

  

  Guru Arjan Dev Sacrifices for Truth: Nothing in this world lasts forever. Everything is temporary… well there is something that actually does last forever, do you know what that is?  The truth. Truth lasts forever. And the teachings of the True Guru are perfectly true. 

  In addition to these two new audio stories, we have animated three new stories, which will be released August-October. We'll post another update! 

  Guru Nanak and Prayer

  Happiness & Success, Part 1

  Happiness & Success, Part 2

  Please join us for our Virtual Gala on July 31st, 2021 celebrating 25 years of SikhNet!
