[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 96996, member: 189"] Dalbir Singh Jio, Prof sahib Singh Ji came from a VERY VERY POOR Background....he was the son of a Hindu and very sickly. Guru Ji did Kirpa on him..he was helped by some good souls..became a KHALSA....got excellent results..received a scholarship ( but didnt have enough money to pay for his train fare..!!..so he walked miles and miles..). What I am trying to say he went through a very difficult life..and excelled to become Professor..and lived the Life according to GURBANI...and wrote the SGGS DARPAN and gave it as a GIFT to SIKHS....not much earnings/royalties for him or his family. 2. SECOND BEST Teeka is by Manmohan Singh * vol..English/Punjabi/Hindi....that also a work of LOVE and DEDICATION by Manmohan singh a lawyer by profession....and GIFTED to SGPC as he had no finances to print/publish it. SGPC has been selling it since. Only fault with this Teeka is the ARCHAIC BIBLICAL ENGLISH used by the author under the perhaps mistaken impression that a "religious book must be having religious type of English Vocabulary..so he used THEE, THOU instead of modern English YOU..." 3. The Third teeka by Sant Singh in Modern English is in my opinion probabaly the worst as it si literally translated/surface meanings of words...not much attention paid to Gurbani garmmar/bhaav of Guru Ji...BUT since its in Modern English.its one of the msot widely used on the Internet... 4. Fourth and EARLIEST Teeka is Faridkotee Teeka..sponsored by teh maharaja of Faridkot and written by VAISHNAVITE/NIRMALA/UDASIS influenced Sikhs. Heavily biased in favour of vaishnavite traditions/vedic leanings...every effort is made to link to Vedas/Upanishads... 5. Teeka by Bhai Vir Singh..incomplete. Only until page 600..as Bhai Sahib ji passed away. Also doen acording to Gurbani grammar but not as good as the one by Sahib Singh. 6 Teeka by Harbans Singh...also according to Gurbani Grammar..and a good companion/comparison teeka. 7. Teeka by Gopal Singh dardee....translated into ENGLISH..and author tried to translate Gurbani into POETRY...so while trying hard to FIT the Gurbani poetry into DIRECT ENGLISH POETRY..rhyme etc..mostly goes FAR AWAY from meanings....just superficial patch ups...but a Good read for entertainment.... I agree wholeheartedly that the SGGS DAPAN by sahib Singh ji should be translated into ENGLISH ..and then other languages..it will provide the best and closest to the original. Perhaps the vested interests that control the SGPC etc dont want SIKHS to "know" too much of the real Gurbani....as GYAAN is a dangerous weapon in the hands of the PUBLIC..it leads to REVOLUTIONS..and deposes the Vested authorites !!!
