[QUOTE="curious seeker, post: 122235, member: 11092"] Connected thread [url]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/new-to-sikhism/29530-are-there-different-types-of-sikhs.html#post122538[/url] Hello and Blessings to ALL It has occurred to me that there must be quite a few persons in this board, that might have the same problems that I am having understanding Sikhi terminology and words and just plain Punjabi terms. You see I, and probably many others here, do not know Punjabi. I, for example, did not know one word of Punjabi, well I knew Guru, a few weeks ago. So here is my dilemma. from what I can understand the religion is GREAT, the Doctrine is deep and soul touching in ways that I have never experienced, the practices seem just as beautiful and faith and commitment reinforcing. BUT as strive to fully grasp what the religion through its scripture and community is saying, I am always running into words that I do not understand in Punjabi and this is very confusing and in fact distracting. So I have decided to ask for help. Actually I am about ready to SHOUT an SOS AND MAYDAY For even the most simple meanings scape me too often . Therefore I seek people with incredible patience, to answer questions of Sikh terminology and the meaning of Punjabi expressions, to some one who is at the level of 3 or 4 year old, even though he actually is 62. So I will post questions and perhaps some one will graciously answer them and then I will be able to actually read and understand passages in the SGGS that I find puzzling, because I do not know the meaning Punjabi word in the passage. Or I will post some questions on common terms that I still do not quite get. Let me start: What is the difference between Bani, Kirtan and Shaba? According to one glossary Bani is the words of the Gurus. Shabad is the religious hymns contained in Sikh scriptures and Kirtan is the musical rendering of Sikh gurbani ( which also make Kirtan into a hymn as well) However, others call both Shabad and Gurbani the word of God or of Gurus, some call the Gurbani hymns as well. Could some one tell me what each means, by themselves? I finally deciphered what fateh means so now I think that Gurfateh is, Victory is for the Guru, or the Guru is Victorious? Ji is dear? Khalsa is both the pure, the Saint Soldiers, and the community of the pure or the congregation of the pure? Panth means the Sikh Community? And the Gurdwara congregation is called ... ? Well this is just a beginning, and if others are also in the same predicament with being almost totally ignorant of Punjabi, PLEASE do ask questions as well I thank all my Sikhi friends before hand, because I know that their heart is of gold and they will answer my questions! May we all learn and walk the Path of Wahe Guru's Hukam ! Curious [/QUOTE]
