Steek And Translations?


Recommended Posts

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I wanted to know what steeks of Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee, Dasam Granth, and Bhai Gurdas Vaaran sangat recommend. Also who or which translations sangat also recommend on reading as there are many versions. I wanted to purchase any steeks when I go to India soon and wanted advice on which are the best to read. Thank You.

Chanaka Raajneete is actually a discoure written about socialism in society and politics written by Rishi Chanak. Whilse Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji held a court of bards they asked Bhai Sainapatee to rewrite this text into gurmukhi lippi which they did. The steek is the meanings to the granth written by Bhai Sobha Singh. This can be brought from decent book shops in India, namely amritsar. If you are in Leicester you can find a copy of it at the Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara library.

Steeks in English

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - in 4 volumes by -------- Singh Chahal is about the best but it only has basic meanings and nothing adhiyatmak

Sri Dasam Granth - 2 volumes by Bhai Dharam Singh & Jodh Singh - only has the dasgranthi and 24 avtar katha up until the beginning of Krishan Avtar

Sri Dasam Granth - 2 volumes by Piara Singh Sandhu - personally 2 expensive for what it is and does not contain the avtar katha

Sri Dasam Granth - 3 volumes by Surinder Singh Kohli - about the best available however missing the charritars and hikayats.

Bhai Gurdas Di Vaaran - 2 volumes by Bhai jodh Singh, basic translation only saral arths, no uthanikas or adhyatmak gyan

Bhai Gurdas Di Kabait Sawaiyas - by Shamsher Singh Puri - again very basic translation, no uthanikas or adhyatmak gyan

Bhavrasamrit Teeka - Tirath Singh Nirmala - very good translation and commentary along with a good prologues on sadhna, guru avtar, niyam, yam, etc

Coming very soon......

Vivek Pardipika - by Tirath Singh Nirmala. This is a translation of Bibeksar which is a spiritual question and answer session between Bhai Addan Shah and Bhai Daya Ram Sevpanthi. The text is only 22 pages in the Sri Rattan Mala however Tirath Singh has kindly let me have a glance at his commentary of it which is over 300 pages long and very deep in adhyatmik and vedant gyan according to puratan sikhi. This is one i would suggesteveryone get a hold of and it will be out within the next month or two to purchase over the internet!!

Again hope that helps

The difference is that a steek just gives the meanings while teeks gives commentary as well

Not heard of any new teekas by Sant Giani Mohan Singh Ji Bhindra Walae

What about the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji by Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji?

    • back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.    
    • i live close by and yea all the gurudwarehs around these parts are run down it’s sad
    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
