Re: SFC: Language - A barrier for New Sikhs? Sat Naam Tomash; I highly recommend Christopher Shackle's "The Sacred Language of the Sikh Guru's." This is probably the best thing available if Punjabi is not your native tongue. Indeed I don't think there is anything else comparable in English...

Sat Nam, Sherab; I am not someone who can properly represent the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. I did not meet him and was not and am not a member of the 3HO organization (Healthy, Happy, and Holy). I have read a lot of YB's lectures however, so I am somewhat familiar with some aspects of his...

Very well explained! Never heard it said so clearly before!! I hae some thoughts to share about this. One thing that I think is sometimes overlooked in all this is the role that unconscious desires play. We are usually in a great deal of conflict inside ourselves and so while we may be...

Sat Nam! The event that Hukum Kaur mentioned has now taken place. Here are links from two emails by two local Sikhs, giving a slide show of the parade and a newspaper story about the event. -------- Sat Nam! Photos from Salem Nishan Sahib dedication - Click to view...

Re: Ek "Omkar"? Sat Nam; Yes, I have read in a book that teaches Gurmukhi that the "g" is sometimes written in the English transliterations, to indicate to the student that there needs to be an end to the nasalized "n" sound - maybe that is called a "glottal stop" I am not sure whether...

Sat Nam; Thank you for this link kds1980! I looked at the 28th pauri in this "book" and found the discussion there very expansive and interesting. It is quite unlike any other translation and yet seems to adhere tightly to the Gurmukhi words of the Pauri. As an aside: A chant of the 28th...

Kaur-1 Ji; The reason the New Mexico "white sikhs" or 3HO sikhs favor Guru Ram Das so much, is because the teacher that inspired them to become Sikhs - Yogi Bhajan - regarded Guru Ram Das as his own special guide and Guru. As for why YB favored Guru Ram Das, if I ever read that, I have forgotten...

Sat Nam; You can get there from this google search. Then within the website, search for JapJi. You should find the word-for-word translation there for about $25. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ancient+healing+ways

Sat Nam, Gyani Ji; This is not really an answer to your question, or it is the "poor man's answer" perhaps and not a scholarly one. In the Teacher's Manual for the Aquarian Age, Yogi Bhajan (Harbhajan Singh Khalsa) says that Pauris are "steps" and that JapJi is much like a series of steps -"et...

Re: SFC: Language - A barrier for New Sikhs? Beauty; Welcome to the forum and welcome to the plight of English speaking Bhagatees of the Guru's. (devoted ones). If you do not get help from people, then consider getting the word-by-word translation of JapJi available from...

Sat Nam I have attached a text file which contains the Gifts of each pauri of JapJi. The file is a text file, but the contents are an html webpage. After saving the file, rename it from a .txt to a .html and then open it in a browser window, using the steps "file", "open", "browse", (locate file...

Sat Nam; Thank you so much for offering to work on Jaap Sahib. That will be a very great help to me! I have already typed the 25th Pauri of JapJi for some people that wanted it here in Eugene, so I will post that below. It is said that the 25th Pauri has the power to bring prosperity. People...

Wahe Guru! Thank you for taking the time to share all of that with us. My heart opens wide to take in all the love and mystery and nectar you have bathed us in with this lovely telling. We are all so Blessed at every moment if only we can open the 10th gate and begin to experience it. Your...

Sat Nam, Khalsa_star: Gurumustuk recently posted a video about tying a dastar turban I think on his Blog page. Here is the link. http://www.mrsikhnet.com/ Scroll down a little ways and see if the video works for you . My computer won't show FLASH so I can't make it play. There are some...

If you please: I beg to differ with your assumption that I am associated with 3HO. I happen to live in a town in which the Gurdwara is run primarily by 3HO but I do not attend their camps, solstices nor Yogi Bhajan Video sessions. I have extremely little social contact with them. I do my...
