Does the word Ehran/ Eran come in gurbani? If so, what is the meaning please? Thank you

Fateh Question and Clarification sought: At various points, I have heard that certain bani should be read multiple times; e.g some ppl state that they do 5 japji sahib path, or x number of chupai sahib paths and so on.... It is good if you can read this much bani; however my question is 2 fold: For e.g it says at the end of chaupai sahib - "Ho Jo Ja Ki EIK bar Chaupai Ko Kahe" Just one if you read this...... so why do we read it so many times; or are advised to do so. Where does this comes from Second Part: With the same theme; how come no one says read Rehras sahib x number of times; or read Kirtan Sohila x number of times. At least I have never heard this. Just want to get your views, and thoughts; appreciate if we could avoid criticism of any sort in this thread. Thanks Fateh....

WJKK WJKF How should papers that have baani written on them be disposed if no longer needed (for example flyers, advertisements, etc). Is it fine just to recycle them? Or should something else be done? And what should be done with papers that have hand written baani that kids used for practicing gurmukhi? Thanks in advance. WJKK WJKF

I am getting so many questions from a person who claims to be ex Sikh on Gurbani , please help me to answer him . His first question is : pg 469 granth sahib . The Way of the Khshatriya is the Way of bravery; the Way of the Shudras is service to others granth shaib tell KHASTIYA WAY IS BRAVERY AND SHUDRA SHOULD SERVE OTHERS granth shaib talks about caste and tell shudras should service others granth shaib pg 487 call KABIR family lowly...A weaver from a lowly family, he became an ocean of excellence. ||1 granth shaib also call DHANA- JAT not sikh pg 488..Hearing this, Dhanna the Jaat applied himself to devotional worship.

This is a real incident. In Delhi, a girl had some health issues. Something came to her mind and she asked her father if they can have Guru Granths sahib ji’s parkash and path at home. Father said why not and this was scheduled. The girl listened to the whole path with true love and faith, when it was at the end, she thought I have heard that if you listen to bani with love, your mental and physical pains are vanished, but I am still the same. At that moment, the girl got sick, suddenly started throwing up, and bunches of “keerhe” came out from her stomach and she re-covered. This is the power of Gurbani, if we are true in paying attention.

I came across a link for Read Along Gurbani Tutor. Supposedly, it goes through word by word of the SGGS text, highlighting the word, reads the word aloud, and moves to the next word. It's meant to help people who are unable to read SGGS to understand how to pronounce the text. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the link to post in this textbox, but it's at www.ektuhi.com, and then click the third option from the left in the top links bar. It should show an embedded YouTube video of the Gurbani Tutor and a button to download it. I haven't downloaded it yet, does anyone know if it's safe to download on PC? If anyone has used it, did you find it helpful? Thanks

WJKK WJKF I recently learned that when reading gurbani every letter/symbol must be pronounced exactly the way it's written (no exceptions). But why do people say that the onkar/sihari on the last letter of each word shouldn't be pronounced? http://www.gursevak.com/readsggs .. In this audio file everything is pronounced, so is this correct? WJKK WJKF

To me there is no difference , yes I don't do chavar or prakash/sukhasan of my laptop but I try to read as much as I can along with translations - but in the end its the same Shabad guru - physical saroop or pdf , IMHO key is to incorporate the lessons in our day to day life - taki " halat palat mukh ujjal hoye " - we are saved in this life and hereafter.

Where is this tuk from? Atam Rus Jeh Janye So Hi Khalas Dev,Prabh Meh Moh Meh Taas Meh Ranchak Nahin Bhed. Is it from Sri sarbloh Granth?

I have seen/heard/read many people say that religion was created by man, that all holy scriptures are manmade. These people, whether desi or angrej, their level and parameter of spirituality is, I am extremely sorry to say, neutron sized. Lets not forget that all scriptures of the major world religions were penned down much after their original orators had left this world. Only Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee was given Gurta Gaddee by Dasmesh Pita Ji Himself. Secondly, other scriptures may have stories, laws, philosophies, or whatever, but Gurbani is written in turia avastha, the 4th and highest spiritual stage which mere mortals cannot comprehend. Its like asking a 3rd grade student to study college level atomic physics of master's degree. Thirdly, Gurbani is priceless because the truth contained in Gurbani was maintained at the cost of life. Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj refused to change "musalmaan" to "beimaan". Guru Sahib refused to add any praises for any avtar/prophet/messenger in there. His Shaheedi is witness to the fact that Gurbani was/is/will always be priceless, was/is/will always be unchanged/unchangeable. Gurbani is not a set of stories or laws or philosophies. Its the divine words uttered by spiritually uplifted souls whose soul-consciousness was at the highest peak of spirituality. These divine words were so true that none of them hesitated to sacrifice their life for it. This makes Gurbani the undisputed word of Akal Purakh Vaheguru! Mehtab Singh Nov. 7th 2013

I'm working on a project and I need quotes from gurbani on general stuff such as working hard in life. Just general quotes for day to day life. WJKK WJKF

man maerae thin kee outt laehi || O my mind, seek their protection; man than apanaa thin jan dhaehi || give your mind and body to those humble beings. jin jan apanaa prabhoo pashhaathaa || Those humble beings who recognizes God so jan sarab thhok kaa dhaathaa || are the givers of all things. this kee saran sarab sukh paavehi || In His Sanctuary, all comforts are obtained. this kai dharas sabh paap mittaavehi || By the Blessing of His Darshan, all sins are erased. avar siaanap sagalee shhaadd || So renounce all other clever devices, this jan kee thoo saevaa laag || and enjoin yourself to the service of those servants. aavan jaan n hovee thaeraa || Your comings and goings shall be ended. naanak this jan kae poojahu sadh pairaa ||8||17|| O Nanak, worship the feet of God's humble servants forever. ||8||17||

Wrong Gurbani translations and ignorance are being used by several Dawah and Christian Missionary organisations. Even if not, it is our duty to understand GurShabad correctly, so lets use this thread to correct (wrong) prevalent Shabads. ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੁ ਕਹਾਵਣੁ ਮੁਸਕਲੁ ਜਾ ਹੋਇ ਤਾ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੁ ਕਹਾਵੈ ॥ ਅਵਲਿ ਅਉਲਿ ਦੀਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਿਠਾ ਮਸਕਲ ਮਾਨਾ ਮਾਲੁ ਮੁਸਾਵੈ ॥ ਹੋਇ ਮੁਸਲਿਮੁ ਦੀਨ ਮੁਹਾਣੈ ਮਰਣ ਜੀਵਣ ਕਾ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਵੈ ॥ ਰਬ ਕੀ ਰਜਾਇ ਮੰਨੇ ਸਿਰ ਉਪਰਿ ਕਰਤਾ ਮੰਨੇ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਵੈ ॥ ਤਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਆ ਮਿਹਰੰਮਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਤ ਮੁਸਲਮਾਣੁ ਕਹਾਵੈ ॥੧॥ 141, Guru Granth Sahib Ji Wrong translation: Where is anything like 'religion of the Prophet' 'faith of Mohammad' mentioned in the original Gurbani? Actual translation (taken from SearchSikhism): It is difficult to be called a Muslim; if one can become a true Muslim (by surrendering completely to the Will of Waheguru), only then he may be called one. First requirement to become a true Muslim is to love the Dharam (religion) i.e. truth. Then cleanse the mind by sharing the wealth with poor and needy. This way false pride of possessions of worldly wealth goes away. Secondly, if the Gurbani tells one to become a true Muslim then why doesn't it say to recite Kalimah, the Quran, Namaz, go on Hajj, etc ? Muslim word is being redefined just like Jati ceases being celibacy when used in Gurbani context. Please post more Shabads and try to correct them.

WjkK WjkF Sangat ji, I wanted to know what happens to the soul when someone dies, does it stay to wonder through relative does it with draham raj? Answer with references to gurbani pls, as I have log conversations with some Singhs with lots of opinions.

WJKK WJKF I wanted to start a discussion on if it's wrong to have gurbani and path on our phones. I've realized that we take our phones everywhere (a lot of the time they're even in our pockets when we go to the bathroom). So would you think that it's a good idea to be carrying path on your phone? lol btw this may seem like a silly question, but I've seen this discussion come up many times between uncles at the gurdwara.
