FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ section provides answers to common questions about Nanak Nivaas, helping visitors understand the program’s structure, policies, and values. From free content access to safety, attendance, and refund policies, this section ensures transparency while emphasizing the importance of regular learning in Sikhi.
Nanak Nivaas is a platform dedicated to daily learning and practice as a core duty of a Sikh. It offers opportunities to grow spiritually through classes and content rooted in Sikh principles.
The content is available for free on YouTube and SoundCloud, allowing you to listen to and view the material. However, live online classes require a dasvandh (a voluntary contribution). Students can enroll in these classes, attend the live sessions, and interact directly with the teachers by asking questions.
The program emphasizes that it is a Sikh's responsibility to continuously learn and study. Without regular learning and practice, one cannot fully embody the principles of Sikhi.
Harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited during the classes. Teachers and volunteers will moderate both the chat sessions and audio to maintain a respectful environment. Participants are asked to stick to the class topics and direct any questions to the teachers. Warnings will be issued for inappropriate behavior, and repeat offenders may be removed from the class. Depending on the severity of actions, reentry into classes may be denied.
Students are encouraged to attend all sessions to ensure consistent learning. If you are unable to attend a class, please inform the teacher in advance. Missing multiple sessions may prompt the team to assess whether you are currently able to commit to the learning process or if it would be better for you to return at a later time.
A Sikh has a duty to understand the world around them through self-inquiry and discussion.
It is not unorthodox to discuss other belief systems, as Sikhs are encouraged to engage in self-inquiry and broaden their understanding.
Books like Ashtavakra Gita, Aproksh Anubhuti, and Ramayan are taught in Gumat because they offer profound spiritual and philosophical teachings. The Ashtavakra Gita emphasizes self-realization and liberation through non-dualism. Aproksh Anubhuti focuses on experiential knowledge of the divine and personal spiritual realization. The Ramayan teaches values of duty, righteousness, devotion, and moral conduct through the story of Lord Rama. These texts provide guidance for ethical living, self-awareness, and spiritual enlightenment, making them central to spiritual practices in Gumat. Through such discussions and reflections, individuals deepen their connection with the divine and pursue personal transformation.
If the program does not meet your expectations, you may request a refund for your dasvandh during the early stages of your participation. However, refunds are not available after attending several weeks of classes.
