When you say 'modern' you're talking about the introduction of Z (jajaa pairh bindhi) happening under dashmesh pita's time. So not exactly modern.

you cannot pronounce Jaap Sahib correctly without the pair bindi part of the Painti so yes totally parvan to use . e.g. ke Hazara Hazoor he

It's very important to know how to pronounce zazza (and where and which Bani's), but I have heard many people who don't have shudh uchaaran decide to put it where they think it goes, where it most definitely does not. For example:

ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜ਼ਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥

ਰਾਗੁ ਗੂਰੀ

 

Not only is this irritating but it's also wrong. Santhiya is jaroori; don't make up your own rules.

I agree. Just go with the flow.

Don’t get caught up with where to add a Z. If you use it then and now it’s fine.

I've only heard a few of the recordings (which are very shudh) but yes most definitely given Bhagat Ji's jeevan.

Nihung Santhiya also give lessons via Skype. Gurmat Veechar has some recordings of Santhiya from Taksal as well. Both excellent.

I'm not being biased but really Taksal are the leaders in Santhiya, and a lot of the good Ustaads in the UK are ones who have learned directly from them.

You will still find some minor differences depending on which branch of Taksal the Ustaad has learnt from, and some other small variables but it's generally the same standard. One sorta big example that comes to mind is the pronunciation of pairi akhars; some don't put emphasis on these (imo you should though).

Occasionally people try to learn from complete recordings e.g. the famous Bhai Jarnail Singh and while these are really epic recordings, you can't learn from them...they're still worth listening to just familiarise yourself however. Some recordings by Namdharis on Youtube too which are shudh.

I'm not sure I agree...the way you have worded your post makes it seem like it's not important. You should only use it where it is indicated.

Learning to pronounce words correctly is good.

But the message is more important.

@Dsinghdp You won't understand the message if you can't pronounce the words correctly! In any case, santhiya is not just about pronunciation.

It's silly to compare santhiya and learning arth; both are equally important in their own right!

When learning to read in school, they always teach you how to actually read clearly as well as teach you pronunciation and elocution first. This is even when we don't yet know defintions and meanings.

Why should it be different for Bani? If anything this applies more with Gurbani because it's pavitar.

    • 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.
