from going out | looking in · host Maximilian Bartel
"I've really learned how strong and powerful I really actually am." Hello everyone, it's so good to be back with y'all. I'm honored and moved to share today's episode with you. I'm speaking with singer, artist, and therapist Nirinjan Kaur. Chances are that if you've ever listened to any "spiritual type music," you've probably come across Nirinjan. Her work has been featured worldwide, reaching and touching millions of souls on their individual healing, spiritual, and personal journeys. In this conversation, we explore Nirinjan's personal story, who was raised in the Kundalini Yoga and Sikh community. Nirinjan shares her experience of being raised in a strongly devoted religious community. However, she later discovered the corruption and abuse within the community, leading her to question and reject the teachings. She emphasizes the importance of embracing both the light and shadow aspects of ourselves and the need to integrate our humanity. The conversation also touches on the complexity of religious practices and ideologies. Nirinjan discusses her experience of leaving the Kundalini Yoga community and the challenges she faced in rebuilding her life. She talks about the trauma, grief, and loss she experienced during this process, including the dissolution of relationships and the impact on her sense of self. Nirinjan shares how she has learned to view herself as strong and powerful, and how she is reclaiming her identity as an artist and musician. This is a very deep, honest, and raw insight behind the curtain of a life within a spiritual community, the integrity of artistry, and the reclamation of power. I'm deeply inspired by Nirinjan's life force and way of showing up in the world and am in eager anticipation of her musical future. Let me know how this one landed with you.
