I guess this is perhaps why the English translators that translated the Guru Granth Sahib into English used words such as Lord, Him, Grace and what not to make the transition seem easier for potential converts.

Are there any English translations of the Guru Granth Sahib done by Sikhs, and not by some colonialist with subliminal motives? Is there an accepted translation by the community, and if so, which one is it? Most translations that I read use words such as Lord, Him, and Grace which really irks me. 

The main translation came from a former white 3ho hippy convert who copied the translation of Bhai Manmohan Singh and just replaced the archaic terms with modern ones with help from 'yogi' bhajan as he has no understanding, knowledge or speaking ability of the Panjabi language, so it's full of mistakes and bias and cannot be taken seriously by anyone in my opinion.

Prefer to read Panjabi translations and commentary myself then translate other words with a dictionary.

lord, him and grace can easily be substituted with what we already know e.g. 'Waheguru', 'Their' and 'Kirpa'.

There are obviously more words we can use to describe Akaal Purakh but this is the idea.

Funny thing is, many poor hindus and sikhs who have become christians, have gone back to becoming sikhs again, as sikh bodies have woken up in certain areas and attended to these families.  Then also theyve realised theyre just statistics for these h@rami esaiy scumbags. Many hindus in other states in india (MP/UP/s.india/bihar) have become sikhs in recent times, aswel as white and african Americans in the west, yet some of the foolish ppl in panjab are falling for actors on stage performing laughable fake miracles. If these miracles r so real, y not go to nearest hospital, cure cancer patients instantly!? 

Do we have any visual proof, particularly videos, of this happening? It can be utilized to counter Christian crap.

The only way to counter these Christain Missionaries is to form a new Singh Sabha like in the past, we gotta help the marginalized Sikh's like the Dalit Sikhs who have been discriminated by Upper Class Sikhs and have been neglected. The reason why the Christain's are successful because they are aggressive, they send missionaries and promote their religion through many means, and that Dalit Sikh's are seeking help and are converting because they assume that the Christain's will promise them better education, supplies, and etc.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
