VJKKVJKF I really want to memorise as much gurbani as i can off by heart. I haven't even got Japji Sahib kanth. I try to, every day I read a paurree over and over until it becomes kanth but then the next day when i try and test myself, I can't remember. It's so difficult. I only have chaupai sahib kanth atm and even that sometimes i forget a few pangtia. What's the best way to get gurbani kanth? Please help daas Thank you sangat ji VJKKVJKF

Yes, through a process called "Sehaj paath" or "Akhand Paath". The former takes a while to complete as it is done in Sehaj (slowly, at ones own pace). The latter takes 48 hours to complete. Akhand means unbroken - so it is a continuous recitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee. If you have never read Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee, I recommend listening to an akhand paath first or doing your own sehaj paath (it can take as long as you like, one month, six months, a year). Fun fact! You only have to read 4 angs of Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee a day to complete the Sehaj paath in one year (with 60 days left so you can miss 60 days of reading and still be on track to finish in one year). If you have an iphone, "iSearchGurbani" is a brilliant app in which you can read all of Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee with English translations and transliterations. You can also bookmark where you left off so you don't lose track of where you last left off. However, it's worth noting that the spiritual anand (bliss) that we experience when we read Gurbani in it's original and authentic Gurmukhi script is not comparable to reading English translations or transliterations so please try and learn Gurmukhi. But it's always a great starting point to read in whatever language you can. There are 1430 angs (pages) in Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee. We refer to them as Angs (limbs) out of respect and it is considered disrespectful to say pages as we believe Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee is our eternal physical living Guru. We do not treat them like a mere "book". They are the embodiment of the past 10 Gurus and their spiritual light shines within Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee today. I hope this helped

VJKKVJKF i love to read books about sikhi, especially autobiographies and history. I have read these books already: In English: Se Kinehiya Autobiography of Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Autobiography of Bhai Rama Singh (In search of the true guru) Warrior Saints (volume 1) Chalda Vaheer Jatha life of Bhai Rajinder Singh ji Kurbani 1978 Zafarnama Hymns from Bhai Gurdass Compositions Ascending Spirits Bhai VIjay Singh Cosmic Symphony In punjabi: Jail chitthiya Puratan Itihaasik Jeevania Puratan So Sakhi (100 sakhi) Satwant Kaur some more i can't remember right now but if you have any suggestions like these books please let me know.. I would like to read more punjabi books as my punjabi is not that great at the moment and would like to improve. I can read and write okay but my vocabulary is limited so I have a hard time following along punjabi books especially jail chitthiya, i could not understand any of it. I have read Bhai Rama Singh jis autobiography in Punjabi too and that was pretty straight forward. Thank you ? VJKKVJKF
