Thank you for that sister. What you have highlighted appears to be a work called 'Guru Granth Sahib Darpan'? I think this is different from the 'Gurbani Viakaran' I was looking for in the OP but I did want to have a look at what you have pointed me towards, so thanks again.

The work I was looking for is described thus:

A most original and earlier work was his Gurbani Viakaran, a textual grammar of the Guru Granth Sahib. No exegetical work since the publication of this book in 1932 has been possible without resort to the fundamental principles enunciated in it, especially those concerning the interpretation of vowel endings in inflexions of nouns and verbs.

I'll scan the book and put it online, just give me a couple of days :)

That is so cool. I just hope I can keep up with the contents without getting lost........lol

PJS - You must have a massive library!

If you really want to learn Gurbani viyakaran then I'd recommend Gurbani Dian Laggan Matran Di Vilakhanta by Bhai Randhir Singh which is much better than work of Prof. Sahib Singh. Prof. Ji didn't follow grammar rules at many places in Gurbani. Also read Gurbani Viyakaran Saral Bodh by Joginder Singh Talwara and work of Pandit Kartar Singh Dakha. These provide correct interpretation of Gurbani according to Gurmat.

Thank you PJS! Great seva.

Bijla, thanks for the heads up on those other sources. I imagine learning Gurbani grammar will take me time. I mean one could really spend a lifetime analysing, grasping bani and seeing my Panjabi is rudimentary at best (and I'm being generous to myself by saying that), it will probably take me longer than most.

That being said, I have improved a little bit over the last few months.

I wanted Sahib Singh's book specifically to try and fathom this stuff:

especially those concerning the interpretation of vowel endings in inflexions of nouns and verbs.

I'm assuming these are the onkarhs we see at the end of tuks in Gurbani that we never pronounce? I wish someone would create a very simple guide to this stuff. If I ever grasp it fully, I will try to if no one else does. Plus what the heck are inflections??? I guess I have a long way to go and a lot to learn...lol

Strangely I find siharees throwing me off when they are in complicated words.....I'm sure I'll get it eventually. But I swear when I listen to the Youtube readings of certain banis, sometimes they pronounce the siharee, sometimes they seem not to??? What is that all about?

When there is onkarh under haha, then they always speak like hoRa matra slightly (onkarh is a laghu matra, so don't spend lot of time saying it, means, you are supposed to say it slightly, having matra sometimes serves the purpose that you spend more time on the alphabet before than that one). meaning wise, I have no clue yet, how it changes the meaning. I have long way to go yet.

For sihari, most of the time speaks for eeree and haha as a "lavan" matra the way we say in English "hey" if there was lavan matra on Haha. Similar case with eeree sihari, speaks as laye, even though lavan is a deergh matra but sihari is laghu matra, which tells you how much you need to stress it or prolong the matra or not.

Most of other times onkarhs and siharies are silent or slightly said to decrease the prolongation of that word but they do change the meaning of the word big time, which again I have no clue yet.

hope it helps. If I am wrong, other members, please do take the pains to correct me.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
