Gurfateh sangat ji

I used to be a mona and have now kept my kesh and become amritdhari over the last three years, When I do my nitnem I put a recording on in the background and read along with it from the gutka sahib, this has helped improve my prounciation of the path, Now for the past few weeks I really wanted to start doing Sukhmani Sahib but I did not know how because when I do my nitnem and put the recording on in the backround i read along with it in gurmukhi but as the nitnem Banis are not that long in length compared to Sukhmani Sahib I have sort of memorized the Banis and so even if I can't make out the word in the gutka sahib I know what it is, so as I never did Sukhmani Sahib before I would not be able to read along with it in the path, so I first put the recording on and followed through with the Gutka and listened to it but I did not understand anything, so for the past week I put the recording on in the backgroudn and followed through in English so I understand what is being said, I just wanted to know does this count then as doing a Sukhmani Sahib as I am reading it in english with the recording in the backgorund, and hoepfully one day with maharaj's Kirpa I will be able to do Sukhmani Sahib from the Gutka sahib in Gurmukhi with no mistakes, but has any of the sangat got any ideas on how I can learn to read Sukhmani Sahib in Gurmukhi rather then in english

Can you read Gurmukhi or not?- If you mean it's because you are going to be slow, just do a few pages and then the rest with tape, and then keep adding more on to read or something? Or learn how you did with your Nitnem?

I think when you get older, if you learn the punjabi alphabet and the sounds, it's not that hard to start reading, yeah you will be slow, but eventually you will get faster.

I do path like this sometimes and I believe yes it does count. For example when I do Jap Ji Sahib da path since I have it memorized I just keep reciting and I glance at the translations so I know exactly what I am saying. So do not worry keep your faith and keep going :biggrin2:

And for learning to do path from a Gurmukhi Gutka Sahib, I agree with bhenji above. Just do a few ashtpadi's and then continue in the way that is most comfortable with you.

If you can read Panjabi/Gurmukhi, it will be easier.

When I first learned Japji Sahib, we used to listen to the CD and follow the words on the page. After a while, you recognise how to pronounce the words. If you continue, you will reach a stage where you can read the bani fluently without a CD. I would only allow it to "count" once I'd reached that stage.

    • 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?
