This Shabad is found on Page 793 of Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj, in Raag Suhi. The Shabad here is accompanied by Manmohan Singh's translation. As is typical of Bhagat Kabir Ji, he urges the human being to 'stop and think', to contemplate on his actions, to realise the Naam that is enshrined...

I was reading T. Singh Ji's article The Guru: Meaning and Business of the Guru (available here), when I came upon this paragraph: As discussed in detail in Part 1 of this Reflection, whenever there is a mention of Guru or Satguru in the Gurbani, it points only towards the non-dual Divine...

Following is 'Tripadas' by Kabeer ji. The translation by Sant Singh Khalsa appears to be entirely different from from Prof. Sahib singh. I am giving below both Translations. The sabad is all Greek to me as Sahib Singh has assigned meanings that do not appear to be very meaningful either...

Haume is big disease as per Gurbani. Basic questions that sangat may like to respond to are as fpllows: 1.What exactly is 'Haume'. Kindly feel free to quote Shabads in regard to this. 2. How to get rid of this till we are in family life and in service? Without ego we cannot work in any...

This shabad is from sri Raag, and was composed by Guru Amardas ji, on Ang 34. The translation is by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa. There is a curious translation question to consider. Would Waheguru "curse" any part of his creation? Yet, the translation of this tuk says some are cursed. How could...

In honor of the gurgaddi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on October 20 the Shabad of the Week is taken from the Hukamnama drawn at Sri Harimandir Sahib early this morning. It is found on Ang 555 and 556, composed in the 3rd house of Guru Amardas ji. The translation is by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa...

This shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev ji, and is found on Ang 1331 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Some of the key words have been translated for you, but you may have a better translation. Some words are left untranslated so that you can stretch and search for their meanings. At some point the...

Do you think there's a reason why Guru Sahib went to such lengths to name so many gods, demons, personalities, etc. in this shabad which starts on ang 224? I haven't pasted the shabad here because it's 12 verses long. Obviously the central theme of the shabad is clear, that those beings are...

This Shabad presents a peculiar instruction in the beginning, Most of the Shabads are either instructed to be sung in 'Raags'(ਰਾਗ) , 'Ghar-u(ਘਰੁ), or in some specific 'Dhun'(ਧੁਨ)(like ਕਾਨੜੇ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਮੂਸੇ ਕੀ ਵਾਰ ਕੀ ਧੁਨੀ, ਵਾਰ ਮਾਝ ਕੀ ਤਥਾ ਸਲੋਕ ਮਹਲਾ ੧. ਮਲਕ ਮੁਰੀਦ ਤਥਾ ਚੰਦ੍ਰਹੜਾ ਸੋਹੀਆ ਕੀ ਧੁਨੀ...
