Religion is everywhere. Whether we like it or not, it has shaped our past, our present and will continue to shape our future. However, it is a topic that has received scant attention, with the attention that it does receive generally coming in the form of stereotypes or controversy. In this podcast, we are taking a new look at religion to understand what it is, how it influences us and what does it mean to believe. We talk to religious practitioners, spiritual seekers, theologians, philosophers, academics and a whole cast of others to learn about the diverse array of religious/spiritual teachings and ideas in both the present day and historically. If you would like to reach out, please feel free to email me at jack@religionreconsidered.com. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

In this episode we talk with Amandeep Singh of the Singh Sabha Sikh temple in Goodmayes, East London.
In the conversation, Amandeep runs through some of the basics of the Sikh faith: the Nishan Sahib, the layout of a Gurdwara and the importance of the Langar hall. We also talk about the foundations of Sikhism and how it developed as a religion that stood against persecution of all forms. We finish considering the fundamentals of the faith as expressed in the Ik Onkar.
The overriding theme throughout the interview that Amandeep emphasises is the power of connection that is built through the strength of the Sikh community, its rich history and its enduring power as a force for justice in the world.
