Sat sri akal , I wanted to know about the importance of Raags in Gurbani. For now I am concentrating in reading and understanding gurbani, but some one suggested that one should also know the gurbani as per raags as mentioned in sri Guru Granth sahib. Is the mandatory that gurbani should be...

Since we have already digressed from the original post i will play along. one thing i believe is that we are not doing anything to sikhi by not cutting our hair. It is meant for us as we can become good sikhs. and not alone by keeping hair there are many things to be done to follow the sikhi as...

Re: Anand Sahib: 38th Pauri: My understanding Let me check more on this but sahib singh ji's teeka on anand sahib and some gurmat classes that i took had that gufa= body and not the womb. also i wd like to know which word(s) suggest that it is being talked about point of conception.

The confusion is there because first shabad suggests that guru is asking followers not to call him parmeshwar, and people doing so are condemned to hell (metaphorically speaking). second shabad as i think it is that guru and parmeshwar should be considered as same. i asked this question in some...

Re: Anand Sahib: 38th Pauri: My understanding amarpal ji, i think in the first line the guru meant that gufa is the body of the person, which not just during the birth but whole lifetime he is giving us the air to breathe. 1. hir jIau guPw AMdir riK kY vwjw pvxu vjwieAw ] har jee-o gufaa...
