Exploring the Feminine Voice In Bani

<p><strong>In Bani, the seeker often speaks in the voice of the human-bride longing for union with the Divine-Husband, IkOankar—a profound metaphor that transcends gender and invites all seekers into intimacy, humility, vulnerability, and love.</strong></p><p><br>Through this imagery, we are encouraged to enter a relationship with the Divine grounded in devotion and trust. But what might it mean that this longing is so often expressed through the feminine voice? How does this symbolism challenge binaries and deepen our understanding of identity, spirituality, and the self?</p><p><br></p><p>In this webinar, participants are invited to reflect on how the feminine voice—in its many emotions, expressions, and experiences—is woven throughout Bani. Together, we explore how these voices continue to resonate today, forming a timeless chorus of longing, connection, and devotion.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Featuring: </strong></p><p>Prof. Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh (<a href="https://sikhri.org/people/nikky-guninder-kaur-singh" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://sikhri.org/people/nikky-guninder-kaur-singh</a>)</p><p>Manvinder Kaur (<a href="https://sikhri.org/people/manvinder-kaur" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://sikhri.org/people/manvinder-kaur</a>)</p><p>Sukhmann Kaur (<a href="https://sikhri.org/people/sukhmann-kaur" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://sikhri.org/people/sukhmann-kaur</a>)</p>
