Unless it's on gardening or something. Do people think it is even possible to get a basic grasp of Sikhi without learning Gurmukhi? From personal experience I think solely using the English medium to learn can take you away from Sikhi and into the realm of 'Sikhism'. Most of the stuff in English seems skewed.

You might be correct. What I can tell from reading the Guru Granth Sahib Ji translated into english, is when someone hasn't really read it much at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

English translations serve a wonderful purpose in the sense that we cant ignore the meanings of Gurubani while reading it. It might not convey the same emotions, but that's something the coming generations can improve upon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someday, with Vaheguru's Kirpa, I will learn to appreciate the Gurmukhi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S1ngh 1,960 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Do take step to learn Punjabi/Gurmukhi because to find the real sikhi treasure, we need a map. In this case Map is our language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're just blindly trusting the translators/authors, which is something you ranted on about in another thread. Apply some of your own criticisms to yourself sometimes.

So tell us what you've read in Gurmukhi, that makes you such a vidwaan at your age? How well can you read Gurmukhi? I've been doing it for years now, and I still feel like I'm just scratching the surface, but here's you making out like you've already grasped it all? It would be nice to know that we have someone who is actually knowledgeable and makes efforts to learn here. Because as of now, you just appear to be some scatter brained kid who craves attention, and tries to get this through being constantly contrary as if that demonstrates some sort of intelligence. If you've got knowledge of any depth, please share it, I'd love to hear it - but this other boll0cks you keep doing just looks like you are running around in confused circles getting nowhere. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
