Each year on Gurpurab (the birthday of Sikhism's founder Guru Nanak), when I share about it on social media, something beautiful happens: the comment section gets filled with warm wishes and kind words from those people who don't share my faith. Today, on Christmas, (1 of thread)

This winter, I created something special—the first annual print edition of The Gurdeep Magazine. It features writing from other contributors alongside my own work. If you feel called to hold this warmth of printed words in your hands, visit gurdeep.ca/magazine

Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

When Shadows Lengthen in Wintertime, Let Your Inner Light Burn Brighter gurdeeppandher.substack.com/p/when-shado...

When the mercury plummets to -40° (where Celsius and Fahrenheit finally agree), most sensible creatures burrow inward. But not in the Yukon. Here, in this land where exhaled breath crystallizes mid-air and exposed skin stings within seconds, I found myself moved to dance Bhangra.

This is the back page of my annual print magazine, The Gurdeep Magazine,— ink on paper, reality crystallized. The first 70 copies have already found their way into the world, carried by postal workers who don't know they're delivering small revolutions. Visit gurdeep.ca/magazine to secure your copy.

Curiosity led me to check where the very first order for the print edition of The Gurdeep Magazine came from. It was from Florence, Massachusetts. Thank you, Florence, for being the first city in the world to welcome my magazine. The second order came from Boulder, Colorado.

Exciting update: The print edition of The Gurdeep Magazine is being printed at a printing press. They're handing over all the copies to me this Friday. The shipping process to subscribers will start then. Visit Gurdeep.ca/magazine to reserve your copy.

Finding Light in the Darkness: Why Joy Is Your Daily Medicine gurdeeppandher.substack.com/p/light-in-d...

Joy is about understanding, recognizing, and deeply internalizing the profound truth that everything in this life—every emotion, every circumstance, every moment of pain or pleasure—is inherently temporary, fleeting, and impermanent in nature. Gurdeep.ca/magazine

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual. Gurdeep.ca/magazine
