Profound inner wisdom for courageous action—from the author of See No Stranger and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, a “prophetic voice of our generation” (America Ferrera)

How do we find the wisdom to envision a new world and the courage to fight for it?

How do we survive seemingly apocalyptic times?

In a world on fire, how do we find love and joy?

We are not the first to ask these questions—in fact, seeking answers to them forged one of the world's great wisdom traditions. In a time riven by caste, conquest, and cruelty, Sikhs blazed the path of the sant sipahi, the sage warrior. The sage radiates love and Oneness; the warrior activates that ethical power to fight for humanity. These energies empowered the first Sikhs to survive near-annihilation in South Asia nearly half a millennium ago. The sage warrior is the essential archetype for our time of turmoil—one we can all embody to cultivate our souls and transform the world.

Valarie Kaur combines the epic, immersive story of her Sikh ancestors—centering the stories of the women who worked to map the path of the sage warrior—with the chronicle of a personal journey: her pilgrimage with her young  children to the Panjab, India, where the stories unfolded, an occasionally comic adventure woven with sublime moments of connection and insight. Each chapter offers a lesson that emerges from the stories—from practicing pleasure to metabolizing grief to choosing courage.

Sage Warrior shimmers with wisdom: Every story is accompanied by original artwork, music, and meditations, illuminating new ways of seeing and being. This journey is for anyone—from any faith tradition or spiritual practice or none at all—who hungers for a better world and is ready to discover the depth of their own power.

In The Press

“Valarie Kaur has never been afraid of wrestling with the biggest questions facing humanity—and in this wise and vivid book, she faces unflinchingly our biggest question of all: how do we live within a changing and collapsing world? How do can our minds and bodies and hearts endure an apocalypse? Drawing upon ancient wisdom while also looking deep within herself (and toward the infinite) Kaur pulls courage from the flames of reality, and calls us all toward sovereignty, sacredness, and love. This is the book we need, and Kaur is a sacred wayfinder.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
 
“A wondrous pilgrimage to the Sikh world! This rich literary, visual, aural magnet pulls us: we travel with the author and her family to her sacred sites and meet historic figures—with their mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, nieces, and comrades who have been neglected in history. We actively participate in momentous Sikh events; we see, we hear, we smell, we taste, we feel. All along, the activist Valerie trains us to be sensuously alive, morally awake—the goal of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion himself. Through a stunning, imaginative interweaving of the past with the present, history with imagination, Punjab with California, we are led to the all-inclusive divine One within. This is a transformative text, a must for our dangerously divided and polarized times.”—Nikky-Guninder Kaur, Sikh scholar and author of The First Sikh: The Life and Legacy of Guru Nanak
 
“A beautiful, hopeful, heartfelt treasure of a book. Sage Warrior will enrich your soul, grow your knowledge-base and inspire your activism. If you want to achieve progressive ideals while bridging divides, this is the book for you.”—Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith America and author of We Need to Build: Field Notes for a Diverse Democracy
