Sukhmani Sahib - Individual Salok Mp3S


Recommended Posts

Fateh.

I was wondering if anyone had access to Sukhmani Sahib but with the Saloks as individual MP3 files? I'm trying to learn the various pronounciations of some of the harder parts of Sukhmani Sahib (well all of it tbh), and I was thinking of copying over the relevant Gurbani to my MP3 player, and reciting Sukhmani Sahib as I listen to it through my earphones.

Its a very strange problem as I know and recite all other nitnem from heart and can read Gurmukhi when required. But Sukhmani Sahib is something new to me and I don't like making incorrect pronounciations of the Gurmukhi words. Some of it sounds wrong to my ears and I don't want to heap "bhaar" on myself by speaking incorrectly so I'd like to learn by a Salok-by-Salok basis.

The reason I ask for individual Salok MP3 files is so that I can pause, rewind, etc., quite easily if its a relatively short MP3 file. Trying to find the correct location when the Gurbani is in one file is sometimes very difficult, as the rewind and forward features are quite sensitive and I'll spend more time messing with the controls than actually learning something.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank-you!

I was looking for the same thing and came across the following a while back:

http://www.gurdwarananaksar.com/english/audio_e.html (scroll down to second batch of files)

However, please note that the above recordings are done to Nanaksar Maryada where they read a "Sanpat" of "Sukhmani Sukh Amrit Prabh Naam. Bhagat Jana kay Man Bisram" after each Astpadee and SatNaam Sri Waheguroo after each Salok.

You'll probably find more info on Nanaksar Maryada from a search on this site.

Bentee to the Sangat, please lets not make this into Jatha bashing thread!

Thanks

daas has got bhai jarnail singh jee (ddt) recordings split up somewhere.

will try and upload them on 4shared somewhere!

vaahiguroo.

Thanks so much. I would be very grateful if you could do this. Bhai Jarnail Singh of Damdami Taksal? A wonderful voice. I think I have Giani Ji's Rehraas Sahib. Amazing.

(also, veereh, you should try get gurbanee santhiya, then will help you alot in pronounication problems.

where all you from jee?)

Long story short, I'm not well enough to leave home. Although with Waheguru's grace I'm getting better and have reached a stage whereby I can read something again, and Gurbani is proving to be an irresistible force that is calling to me and I feel I have to "reply".

But anyway I'm devising systems of home-made santhiya, and for the moment, this is the best I can do. :biggrin2:

If anyone's interested, what I did was copy over a complete MP3 of Sukhmani Sahib, but put it into the Audiobook section of my MP3 player.

Now the interesting thing is that anything you put in the Audiobook part of your MP3 player can be slowed down, sped up, etc. Also the pause and resume controls are lot more precise.

So I listened to 2 lines of Sukhmani Sahib, then paused the MP3 and then with my Gutka read and repeated the same 2 lines out aloud. I'm very happy as I didn't mess up any pronounciations.

Took 4 hours though because I had to keep pausing every 2 lines but I'm sure my completion time will improve when I get accustomed to doing Sukhmani Sahib.

Another update:

Yes! Its finally sinking in. There are some pronounciation differences that confuse at first, i.e. there's a difference between normal, written Punjabi and printed Gurmukhi but once you get the hang of it you begin to correct yourself before the mistake is made.

Just a matter of taking it slow and steady. Thankfully I had cursory knowledge of Punjabi and Gurmukhi which helped I suppose. I pity the brother or sister who has to start from scratch. Although I suppose that's where Romanised Gurbani comes in handy if learning is proving to be really quite difficult.

Next goal is to reduce the time it takes me to recite Sukhmani Sahib.

    • 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.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
