Dear SPNers,
Does the following lines stand good? Pl do give your views.

Almighty Lord means "ਪ੍ਰਭ"

Technique to merge in HIM is called “GUR”

(GUR in Punjabi stands for Technique, Method or Formula).

Remember only a True and Complete Guru can provide “GUR”

That’s why to learn all this we enroll ourselves as a “Sikh.”

Sikh means a Student who is learning the Technique“GUR”

That’s exactly why we are called GURSIKH

Meaning student to learn the “GUR”

The Bani which delivers this technique is called “GURBANI”.

Mind you this is not GURUBANI but is GURBANI.

GURUBANI means which holds information about Guru’s life.

“GURBANI” means Information about

The technique of merging into The ALMIGHTYT LORD.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=32531

Hence, the “GURBANI” is our only “GURU.”

AND

The Ocean of Knowledge is “Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji”

Or

ਗਿਆਨ ਦਾ ਸਾਗਰ – "ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸ਼ਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ"

Partly RIGHT....words in Punjabi have many meanings...GURBANI is a RECIPE...a TOOLBOX for us to USE and IMPROVE our Lives.

Hardip ji, as long as you are well motivated by Gurbani, and it raises your consciousness of the Almighty Lord in your mind, then any use of any colours, any words and sentences linked in any way are "good". Intuitive awareness (constant remembrance of the Lord), once established, will no longer depend upon any set pattern once it has been established, but patterns helps to create intuitive awareness. So anything can help.

Paramjit jee,
In hindi script, the word DWAR is same as DWARA. In poetry both the words carry equal force and stands for the word GATE only.

and YES its GURDWARA and NOT GURuDWARA...and its just the GATE -- dwaar and not "house" as is always preached...s..
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=32531
Nowadays Sikhs doing rituals and karamkaands have actually BRICKED UP the Guru's dwaar with GOLD BRICKS...its changed to DEWAAR !!! Not everyoen is welcome at such places especially if you a re poor/downtrodden so called low caste, in torn dirty clothes/naked etc..the sewadaar at the Gate will chase you away in a flick of the eye..thats why they have those long spear...try asking one of these for a place to stay in so called Saraan for pilgrims (constructed with goluck funds) or a place to sit behind the ragis doing kirtan at Darbar Sahib...they bark worse than a rotewiller and push you like you got leprosy....BUT a REAL LEPER with rotting extremities will get a PLACE and be welcomed IF he is Badals Man..or sgpc chamcha of some jathedar..or even a "Brahmgyani" from some dera...NO wonder the Fish are dying there...
