Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, I'm not quite sure if this is where to post this, but the Questions and Answers section didn't seem right since that seems to be more about Sikhi itself rather than what I am asking here. I hope that came out right. Anyway, moderators, please move if...

Sat Sri Akal everyone I understand there are a number of highly regarded English translations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Before I commit to purchasing a particular version in hard copy, I wonder if there is anywhere I can view the texts online I would also be grateful for your...

Hikayats, Charitthropakayan, and Kolem-e-Goya (Persian Writings, Bhai Nand Lal) These translations are in English only. It may be difficult to match the English translations with the Dasam Granth Chapters in the original because of different page numbering systems. The translator is Pritpal...

Re: Who was the Mother of Christ Jesus? Narayanjot ji, Guru Fateh. Well put. Allow me to elaborate this a bit more on the wonderful thought that you have shared about the verse: Ėk akẖar jo gurmukẖ jāpai ṯis kī nirmal so▫ī. ||3|| One who, as Gurmukh, chants the One Word, acquires a...

After reading more than a few debates about translations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, I now wonder whether it makes sense to learn Gurmukhi first, and then study the ShabadGuru. As someone who converted to Sikhism I have to ask this. Why would I decide to learn Gurmukhi if I had not read the...

This thread is an experiment, suggested by SPN Admin. The translation of Gurbani is a complicated matter, made at times more difficult, not easier, by the use of search engines. Why is translation fraught with difficulties? Search engines require exact matches of transliteration equivalents...

I happened upon this web site accidentally. Sri Granth - a Sri Guru Granth Sahib Resource It tells the story of real people with real faces who have brains and ability and a lot of talent. Many different kinds of talent. Then came the idea: a thread about gurbani search engines might actually...

translation of gurbani is quite difficuilt.If some wants too deeply understand punjabi then he should learn gurmukhi

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! Gurmukhi is the language of the Gurus. Do Sikhs know the language of their Gurus? The translations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee and Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Jee confirm that they do not understand their Guru's language, what to say about the...

I may not be putting a very relevant question. But I have to clear my doubts I consider it appropriate to have the valuable opinion as to how the 'sangat' here feels about whether we or I should understand the entire Gurbani as a sikh. I don't have time and then I do not understand much Of the...

thats good idea for learning more gurbani. I know that word for word is not recommended way of learning more meanings.. because sometimes there is not the exact word.. but there is always a paragraph or a sentence that can be written about it. If something can be expressed in one language it...

What is considered the most authoritative translation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib into English? Also, is it possible or desirable to have the SGGS in your house? I know I should/will learn Punjabi to fully understand, but in the meantime I would still love to read and get as much out of it...
