Fateh!

To the best of my knowledge, it's not available in printed format -- only online. There's a company called Lulu.com that will print and bind a book from a PDF file. A personal long-term project for me is to format Singh Sahib Sant Singh Khalsa Ji's translation for printing so I can get a copy printed and bound. If I've calculated correctly from the rates Lulu.com lists on the website, it will wind up costing about $70 in hardback and will need to be bound in two volumes, as the largest volume they're able to bind is something less than 800 pages. That's a long-term project, and I'm not sure how long it will take.

I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable would post to say "Yes, it's available from such-and-such bookstore", but I guess it's really not available on paper. If/when I'm able to get it printed through Lulu, I'll gladly make the file available to anyone else who wishes to own it in book form...

Warm regards to all. Sat sri akal!

This is my personal opinion only , anybody not agreeing with me kindly pardon . I wish someone could take initiative to translate Prof SAHIB SINGH JI's Guru Granth Sahib Darpan in both English & Hindi . It will be an enormous task if anybody can undertake it will be doing very big Sewa of the Panth . Prof Sahib Singh Ji 's translation of Guru Granth Sahib Ji in ' Guru Granth Darpan ' is the best amongst all the present translations as far as correctness as per ' GURBANI VYAKARAN ' is concerned , most clear in meanings & approach & probabely most liked & least controversial amongst the purists . Anybody agreeing with me kindly do post ur response .

Sat Shri Akaal Veer Ji,

I ran into your this old message today and I fully agree with you. Currently, I am in the process of reading Professor Sahib Singh Ji's translations. I am expecting to complete it at most in one more year.

If God willing, I may translate it or parts of it thereafter. Perhaps few people can get together on this project, then I can start my share of the effort immediately.

Thank you, for telling me of this website, I really like it here.

Rani Kaur

Rani Ji ,
The pleasure is all mine . I was really impressed with the efforts you put in on another site to wave off highly controversial defending of Dasham Granth . One more ,thing I do not like particularly about Sant Singh Khalsa ji's translation is the lack of CLARITY of ideology & repititive mistakes starting from MOOLMANTAR itself . Whether it is due to hindsight or DELIBRATE is anybody's guess .

Sat Shri Akaal Everyone,

With the appropriate permissions, Sant Singh Ji's translation may be a good point to copy and start from as this will give us the Gurbani, transliterations, and starting point in English word translations, to begin with. This is bulk of the work, which is already done in his work. Then modifying/inserting Prof Sahib Singh Ji's translations is much less work. If few of us join together, I can do the actual translations, others can help with other things such as:

Reading for accuracy, and giving feedback,
Preparing the list of words, then each word meaning in English as Prof Sahib Singh Ji has done. This helps a great deal. We may have to do this for each word in line as non Punjabi speakers won't be able to understand even the simple words.
Somewhere, I have noticed that, when I held the mouse button on top of the word, its meaning in English was displayed by opening a small window. Having that feature, will be great too for the software copy.

If there is a small group of people to assist, give feedback, find necessary information, then it makes it easier.

I don't know how to get permission from Sant Singh Ji and access to his editable software to edit his version. Any ideas anyone?

Thank you,
Rani

Sat Shri Akaal Everyone,

Quick search on the internet, I found the necessary information, and it is all available at the following site:

Sri Granth


If we hold the mouse over any word, the english translation of it is displayed.

Sri Granth: Sri Guru Granth Sahib


They also have dictionaries available, which can provide the translations for all the punjabi words. They have all the components, and I will simply need to put it all together to add Prof Sahib Singh Ji's translations instead.

However, I wonder if these are Dasam Granthis, and I wonder if they will give us all of it to edit and prepare our own copy from it?

Thank you,

That is amazing, Randeep ji -- and thank you for sharing all of this. Don't worry about the Dasam Granthi's as they have already decided, are not open to discussion, and cannot be convinced. That might sound like a negative at first blush. But actually it means the road is wide open, as you are completely free now to do as you will. You already know where they stand. You know where you stand. You already know that nothing will change. Go for it.

All of this can only be great news.

Sat Shri Akaal Everyone,

Good news indeed Bhein Ji.
Actually, I was wrong, the person, Kulbir Singh Thind, who had provided the basic files to them, may not be part of this politics stuff. He appears like a nice person off course as he has given me the permission to download his files.

Next I will purchase the proper software, download the base files, and then start a project that may last for years to come as I will put about 1 hours worth per day towards it.

I won't be spending much time writing messages here anymore. However, whenever I will have something significant ready, I will post it for everyone's feedback.

Thank you,
Rani

Once and a while please do post here. But all in all the work you have set yourself to do is very significant.

Dr. Thind is a very fine man and he is not wrapped up in the politics of Dasam Granth. Most Sikhs are not. And all the work he has done with transliterations, fonts and translations he did for free, gratis... as seva to the panth. He could have made a bundle. He chose not to.
