https://www.sikhnet.com/news/ੴ-eikkao-proper-pronunciation What are everyone's thoughts on the article? Does anyone have any counterpoints? In my view the author is trying too hard to disassociate Sikhi from Indic philosophy. Article: ੴ EikkAo, The Proper Pronunciation Gulbarg Singh Basi ੴ, is the very first and only symbol / word written in the very first line of handwritten copies of the Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS) e.g. ਕਰਤਾਰ ਪੁਰ ਵਾਲੀ ਬੀੜ = krtaar pur vaali beerh. It is also written as the first word on most handwritten hukm naamay of Guru Sahibs as compiled by Prof. Ganda Singh in his book ਹੁਕਮ ਨਾਂਮੇ = hukm naamay (Orders). T…

"Nanak Naam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat da Bhala" is not Gurbani. I am trying to determine the origins of this and how it came to be apart of our ardaas. Would appreciate any knowledge that you can share.

Can some explain what does dhur ki bani mean.. is the whole Guru Granth Sahib ji is called dhur ki bani or some specific path is dhur ki bani.. because so many preachers say that we have dhur ki bani so if shri Guru Granth Sahib ji is known as dhur ki bani thn I’ve also heard that when dhur ki bani came thn Guru Nanak Dev ji kept writing he didn’t stop so now if Guru Granth Sahib ji is dhur ki bani thn when Guru Gobind Sahib ji officially gave it to us for our benefit so Guru Ji asked Bhai mani singh ji and baba deep singh ji to write it and gathered all the shlokas and raags kabir jis Ravidas ji baniya and all other path that we have and wrote them all together and thn …

Jallianwala Bagh. 13 April 1919. Twenty-two-year-old Nanak Singh joins the mass of peaceful protestors agitating against the Rowlatt Act. What then turns out to be one of the worst atrocities perpetrated by the British Raj, and a turning point in India s independence movement, also becomes a life-changing experience for Nanak Singh, who survives the massacre, unconscious and unnoticed among the hundreds of corpses. After going through the traumatic experience, Nanak Singh proceeds to write Khooni Vaisakhi, a long poem in Punjabi. The poem was a scathing critique of the British Raj and was banned soon after its publication in May 1920. After sixty long years, it was redisc…

I'm pretty sure I've posted these letters previously (a long time ago). But I'm linking this site here because the edition of the works therein also contains a transliteration of the original Panjabi used by M. Jind Kaur in her letters, which wasn't in the later edition I previously encountered. It'd be a project to rescribe them into Gurmukhi. https://issuu.com/sikhdigitallibrary/docs/three_letters_of_maharani_jind_kaur

When the ‘Wild’ proved more educated By Hema on February 19, 2010 When the British conquered Lahore in 1849, Lord Dalhousie, the Governor General, declared that he would educate the “wild illiterate Punjabis” in a new system of Anglo-Vernacular education. When they started the East India Company Board was shocked by what already existed. The board was amazed to find that the literacy rate in Lahore and its suburbs was over 80 per cent, and this was qualified by the description that this 80 per cent comprised of people who could write a letter. Today, in 2010, less than nine per cent can do this, while 38 per cent can sign their n…
