Guest Help...

Hi,

I just needed a little help, I have decided to read more into sikhism. I have done some research and there are three scriptures, dasam granth, guru granth, and adi granth.

Are these the main ones? are there more?

and I want to be able to read the scripture in the following format

first line - gurmukhi

second line - the above line in english e.g. 'ek onkar etc..'

third line - English translation e.g. one universal creator god... etc.

obviously it doesn't have to be in this order :)

thanks.

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, vaheguru ji ki fateh!

Adi Granth was an earlier version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib compiled by Guru Arjan Dev jee, later it was completed by Guru Gobind Singh jee, but usually the both names refer to Sri Guru Granth Sahib. There are also Bhai Gurdaas jee's vaars that give explanations to Sri Guru Granth Sahib (it's like the "key" to Sri Guru Granth Sahib) and it also describes lifestyle of Gursikhs.

Here are some links that i've found useful:

download Sikhitothemax II software from http://www.sikhitothemax.com

the style of translitteration (=the second line) they use is not especially clear, but otherwise it's great (it has all the scriptures). The website is nice too (i like the "random shabad" button at the top corner).

And another good one is: http://www.srigranth.org

You may have to download some fonts too to see the Gurmukhi script.

Ask if you need more help! :)

i would say searchgurbani...it has Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Dasam Granth, and Bhai Gurdas Vaara for all your Gursikh needs.

Adi Granth is the earlier version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and it doesnt contain the banis of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, so Adi Granth is Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Dasam Granth is the Bani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and its seperate frm Guru Granth Sahib Ji....Sri Guru Granth=Guru

Then there is Sarbloh Granth also written by Guru Gobind Singh...dont know 2 much about this one but im sure u can google it or sumthing

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
