Incidently I don't think theer is anything else I agree with Hew Mcleod on :p

I think Gyani ji has a point, while many understand Gurnbani, their command of English and English literature is basic. Dr Sant Singh maybe guilty of this.

Apparently Dr Gopal Singh and Pritam Singh Chahil have degree attributes in English, which may have helped them. As well as Hew Mcleod.

Re: Does Everyone Understand the Prayers at the Gurdwara

ishna Ji..such things happen in religion too....you know the SONY BETAMAX sytem of recording videos was much much better than the PANASONIC VCR sytem...BUT SONY lost out because of marketing gimmicks of Panasonic...so the world popularised an INFERIOR Tape system... The KJV Bible gained popularity due to the Misdeeds of the POPE in ROME...and the Sant Singh Khalsa version has gained the same due to the Misdeeds of the SGPC in Amrtisar...

Over HERE in MALAYSIA we have Churches that conduct in Chinese, Tamil, Punjabi, MALAY and many more....one goes to a church where one understands what the heck is being said...and the most visible problem with the Malay version is the Mulsims claim a MONOPOLY on the word ALLAH....which the christians disclaim because its an Arabic word..commonly used by Christians..blah blah blah...

No, not everyone understands, from what I have seen most people just go to kill time or "people watch".
