2025 Sarkar-e-Khalsa Calendar
Maharajah Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) was the founder of the Sikh Empire in northwestern India and one of the most remarkable leaders in Indian history. His reign, from 1801-1839,
marked a period of relative stability, prosperity, and cultural flourishing in the Punjab region.
One of Ranjit Singh's major achievements was absorbing and in some cases uniting the various Sikh Confederacy or Misls into a cohesive empire, which included Punjab, parts of present-day Pakistan, and Kashmir. He was known as the "Lion of Punjab" and his military acumen was crucial in defending the Empire against external threats, particularly from the British East India Company and Afghan invaders. He also maintained peace with his
neighbours through diplomacy, marriage alliances, and the skilled use of his army, which was a blend of Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, and European officers.

The Suraj Podcast
The Suraj Prakash is a comprehensive historical text, rendered in Braj poetry, covering the lives of the ten Sikh Gurus. It was written by the Great Poet [Mahakavi] Santokh Singh, a learned scholar and exquisite poet who learned from the most important learning institution [Sampradya] at the time, the Giania Bunga in Amritsar. Santokh Singh’s work remains an unparalleled text to this day, and since its creation, it had been mandated to be read across all the Takhts, and this tradition continues till this day at Takht Patna Sahib and Takht Hazur Sahib.
Prior to the Suraj Prakash there was no extensive endeavor to collect the history of all the Sikh Gurus in a single text. The majority of Sikh history in one way or another can be found to have some relation to the Suraj Prakash, making it integral to engage with in an unfiltered manner.
The Suraj Podcast presents uncensored chapter by chapter summaries of the text in a way that has never been done before.
