Sat sree akaal I am trying to learn some Punjabi so I can better understand Gurbani and communicate with those in Gurdwara who speak little or no English. I recently ordered http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Panjabi-Two-Audio-CDs/dp/0071766022/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1386605716&sr=8-5&keywords=teach+yourself+complete+panjabi'>Teach Yourself: Complete Panjabi but I am aware I'll later on need some additional book or program to help me get to the next level, along with trying to speak Panjabi with native speakers on a regular basis. For anyone on here who's taught themselves Punjabi, or if anyone here is a teacher of the language, I would like some suggestions…

Gurfateh-- I sat at the corner of my bed with tears gracefully running down my cheek These tears brought a sensation of tranquility to my soul Just as the swan drinks only the sweetness of the drink Where has my companion flown away too? Is it hibernation time? You told me it would not matter. “Come back!” I shriek under my flow of tears “I need you! How will I survive this?” There is no answer I sat at the corner of my bed with tears uneasily running down my cheek The tears brought numbness to my soul “My world has collapsed under this debris of sorrow” I murmur “Only you are causing such wreckage in your life my child” I hear through the soft breeze “…

If you desire the Beloved, my heart, Do not cease to pour out lamentations. Observing His existence, reach annihilation! Say “Oh He and You who is He”. Let tears of blood pour from your eyes May they emerge hot from the furnace Say not that he is one of you or one of us Say “Oh He and You who is He”. Let love come that you may have a friend Your distresses are a torrent Sweeping you along the way to the Friend Say “Oh He and You who is He”. Take yourself up to the heavens Meet the angels And fulfill your desires Say “Oh He and You who is He”. Pass beyond the universe, this unfurled carpet Beyond the pedestal and beyond the throne That the bringers of goo…

Some Technical Terms Used in Gurbani Through the letters, comes the Naam; through the letters, You are Praised. Through the letters, comes spiritual wisdom, singing the Songs of Your Glory. Through the letters, come the written and spoken words and hymns.....(sggs 4). The Sikh Gurus wrote Shabads in poetical-metric forms. They were then associated with various Raagas and Ghars and many other terms such as Partaal, Sudhang, Rahaaou, Pauree, Vaar, Ikpadaa, Dupadaa, Tipadaa, Chaarpade, Ashatpadee, Chhand, Ghorian and Alahunian of folk music, types of Kirtan music, Gaathaa, Funhe, Chaubole, Savayyas, Karhale, Solahe, Mahalaa, Pattee, and so on.
