In this Golden Thread episode, Harmonia steps from the firelit tensions of Savonarola's Florence into the gentle dawn of 16th-century Punjab, where Guru Angad-successor to Guru Nanak-quietly reshaped the spiritual landscape. Through scenes of community kitchens, early schools, and the soft rhythm of ordinary service, Harmonia explores how Guru Angad built structures of dignity that endure to this day. His standardization of the Gurmukhi script, expansion of langar, and emphasis on humility and strength reveal a truth that still matters now: the future belongs to the quiet builders. Harmonia reflects on how small, steady acts of compassion hold society together-and why food banks, literacy programs, and shared meals today are not signs of failure, but mirrors of our deepest spiritual nature. The episode closes with a tease for Julian of Norwich.
