Keertan

[Akaali]

I always knew Kirtan to be kirt karni which is to praise Akaal purkh, but I've been seeing alot of people using the word keertan which is wrong, can anyone shed light on this topic?

Note to ADMIN >> Live Keertan on the right :nihungsmile:

Hmmm ... <_< @

Never thought about that... i just thought people like to use Kirtan rather than Keertan. Hmmmm ... even Waheguroo instead of Vaheguroo....

hmmm .. me dont know anything.

waheguroojeekaakhalsa waheguroojeekeefateh

mmm

i thought kirt= ikrq as in kirt karo naam japo vand chhako

and keert=kIrq which means to praise

sooo keertan sounds ok to me...

waheguroojeekaakhalsa waheguroojeekeefateh

Sant Kartar Singh Ji used to give many meanings to this word. Few are:

kI rqn - what a priceless ratan (saying amazingly like Wah)

kIr qn - something that "keer" your body and gets right to your heart.

Kirat Karni is different which gets your "Tann Safal" but Keertan gets your "Tann" and "Mann" safal. spelling doesn't matter. it is stupid English. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sat Sri Akal:

Definitions from the Dictionary of Guru Granth Sahib, by Surinder Singh.

ikrq - Punjabi noun meaning work, deed or action.

kIrq - Sanskrit based Punjabi noun meaning praise, glory, fame or repute.

So Keertan is the act of praising and Kirt is doing work.
