Building Real Unity with Nava Kavelin
What if unity isn’t a lofty ideal, but a daily practice rooted in how we speak, act and build together? This week, Simran is joined by writer, podcaster, and spiritual thinker, Nava Kavelin, for a conversation that grounds the Baha’i teachings of oneness and justice in real, everyday action. Together, they reflect on the collective exhaustion so many are feeling and how spiritual frameworks can help us move from fragmentation to belonging. Nava invites us to imagine a world shaped by human education, universal language, and shared values. Through stories, questions, and personal reflections, Simran and Nava explore how consultation, community-building, and consistent alignment between values and actions can transform all of us This conversation reminds us that small, sincere acts of connection matter. That unity isn’t something we wait for - it’s something that we practice together. Resources: Check out Simran’s work on his website at <a href="http://simranjeetsingh.org/">simranjeetsingh.org</a>.

When Doubt Builds Bridges Instead of Walls
What happens when a poet, a rabbi and an imam walk into a room - not to debate, but to listen? In this special live episode of Wisdom and Practice, Simran moderates an honest, soul-stretching panel at NYU’s Fritz Weitzman Owens Memorial Lecture with Kaitlyn B. Curtice, Dr. Shaykh Faiyaz Jaffer, and Rabbi Joshua Stanton. Together, they wrestle with the tensions and truths of interfaith work - its’ beauty, its’ burdens and its’ urgent relevance today. They dive into the power of empathy, the gift of doubt, and what it means to scale compassion in divided times. With wisdom from diverse traditions and lived experience, this conversation reimagines faith not as a fixed doctrine, but as a living, evolving practice of showing up for ourselves and each other. Special thanks to NYU, for the use of this audio. This panel was hosted by: Melissa Carter, EdD - Global Spiritual Life Senior Director and Head of Mindfulness Education and Programming at NYU Coordinated by: Chelsea Garbell - Associate Director, Global Spiritual Life, Robert Taylor, Jr Assistant Director Global Spiritual Life at NYU And it was recorded and edited by: NYU-TV Resources: Check out Simran’s work on his website at <a href="http://simranjeetsingh.org/">simranjeetsingh.org</a>.

The Seeds of Community with Anurima Bhargava
What if family isn’t just who you’re born to, but who you choose to grow with? This week on Wisdom and Practice, we’re joined by community organizer and thought leaderAnurima Bhargava. In this episode, we explore how presence, faith, and mutual care can reshape the way we build and belong. She invites us to see each other not as weeds to be managed, but as seeds to be nurtured - reminding us that healing communities start with how we show up for one another. Together, Simran and Anurima unpack what it means to build intentional relationships rooted in dignity, agency, and shared values. Through story, food, and faith, this conversation offers a powerful reimagining of community, - not as something we inherit, but something we co-create. In a world often marked by disconnection and division, they offer a grounded vision of belonging - one where everyone has a place, and every seed has room to grow.
