According to Bhai gurdas Guru Nanak had a debate with the sidhs in the last year of his life. Karminder Singh states that both sidh gosht and Japji were both completed within the last year of his life since puree 28 & 29 of Japji Sahib are a summary of sidh gosht

That question is not really relevant here because Bhai gurdas is narrating a sakhi from guru Nanak life. Since he was a contemporary of 5 gurus he could have learned this from the guru himself.

Nice essay. But I have a question about Bhai gurdas ji's vaar under vaar 1 pauri 36. My punjabi isn't good so I was wondering if it's an accurate translation. ਪੁਛੇ ਪੀਰ ਤਕਰਾਰ ਕਰਿ ਏਹ ਫਕੀਰ ਵਡਾ ਅਤਾਈ। ਏਥੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਬਗਦਾਦ ਦੇ ਵਡੀ ਕਰਾਮਾਤਿ ਦਿਖਲਾਈ। ਪਾਤਾਲਾ ਆਕਾਸ ਲਖ ਓੜਕਿ ਭਾਲੀ ਖਬਰੁ ਸੁਣਾਈ। ਫੇਰਿ ਦੁਰਾਇਣ ਦਸਤਗੀਰ...

went to punjab two years ago and stood in a long line for an ardas for my brother with learning disabilities. Basically the same standardised ardas but with a different person's name and problem to fill in the blank.

Thank you for taking the time to make this post. Was always confused why there was a shabad supporting idol worship.

Isn't this bani contradicting the idea that you should be a zombie ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਭੇਟਿਐ ਪੂਰੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ॥ O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, one comes to know the Perfect Way. ਹਸੰਦਿਆ ਖੇਲੰਦਿਆ ਪੈਨੰਦਿਆ ਖਾਵੰਦਿਆ ਵਿਚੇ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੁਕਤਿ ॥2॥ While laughing, playing, dressing and eating, he is liberated. ||2||...

from my understanding, milk mixed with water was the best cleaning product available.

In order to cross the worldy Ocean, we need to find the sangat. Within the sangat we will remove our impurities. We do this by japing the Jap of the lord day and night, And keeping the Jap within our heart. Through this mercy we overcome ego and cross the worldy Ocean without drowning. Still...

According to Bhai Gurdas Ji in Vaaran 1 Pauri 48 , sikhs had asked Guru Hargobind how many gurus would come after him. ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਧਰੇ ਅਵਤਾਰੀ ॥੪੮॥ Jougi Jougi Satiguru Dharay Avataaree ॥48॥ Four more Gurus will come to earth (yuga 2, yuga 2 i.e. 2+2=4) From Punjabi teeka ਪਰੰਤੂ ਹੋਰ...

i want to learn to read the guru granth sahib. Which language do you think i should start with. Guru Nanak and Guru Arjun both wrote in Sanskrit and they were the biggest contributes so should i learn Sanskrit first?

Where which source did you get this definition of rom from?

I probably wouldn't have heard of Sikhism if i wasn't born into a sikh family. But it wasn't until i was 22 that i started caring and everything good i learn't was from my own research. Before that i was shifting between agnostic or athiest.

I've been looking at what historical sources say about which bani was read for amrit sanchar and found this comment by another user. But i've found the following sources recently. Guru kian Sakhian which is based on information in the Bhatt Vehis. It says Jap, Jaap, Sawayas, Anand and...

Sorry. Only the second salok at the end is found and it's Raag Maajh.

The salok after Mool Mantar and the salok at the end both belong to Raag Asa. Therefore we can assume that the whole of Japji should also be associated with the same raag
