[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 81982, member: 189"] THIS IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE BROCHURE I PASS OUT TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS WHO APPROACH ME TO TEACH THEM PAATH/GURBANI. Countless times i have been asked..whats so great about GURMUKHI ? Isnt the Translated Gurbani the SAME THING ?? WHY isnt the translated verison enough for me...isnt it the same thoughts ?? Lets go back to the time of Guru Nanank Jis aagman. In 1469 there were a myriad of well established, well developed, and very popular languages...there was Persian, F{censored}e, Arabic, Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Gujrati, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, etc etc etc. When Akal Purakh sent Guru nanak Ji Sahib on His Divine Mission..He must have made it clear that the Divine Mission of Guru nanak Ji Sahib is such a New revolutionary GYAN...that any of the already used languages/scripts cannot fit that. Thus to spread His New Mission..Guru nanak Ji Sahib set about scripting GHARRING the brand new GURMUKHI SCRIPT. Granted that some remnants of an older script similar to Gurmukhi already existed and Sheikh Farid Ji wrote his sloks in that but the entire RESHAPING/REMOULDING of the 35 akharee Gurmukhi rests squarely on Guru nanak Ji Sahibs Broad shoulders. Guur Nanak Ji sahib then began to use this new script to pen down His Gurbani..as it came from AKAL PURAKH. This is another aspect we always forget or overlook - the ORIGINAL LAREEDAAR GURBANI scripted in SGGS is the TRUE "Shape" of the Gurbani that AKAL PURAKH SENT DOWN. AAslee cheez hee eh hai. 2. Paddchedd..is one LAYER DOWN the road AWAY from the TRUE GURU. Instead of holding on to the Guurs FINGER..we seek to hold the finger of the Padd chedder.. 3. Translation..is another SECOND layer down the road AWAY from the TRUE GURU...here we follow the direction of the translator/teekakar..as to what Guru Ji MEANS... its the GURU..the way the "translator" sees !!! IF the Transaltor is wearing green coloured specs....we will also see GREEN WORLD/GREEN SUN !! after all Gurbani is Not a "story"....or a tale fable...which can be easily translated and essence retained in any langauge....Gurbani is an EXPERIENCE..a MESSAGE....that is why "Amrit" is AMRIT..phrases like ambriosal nectar..honey..sugar water..etc dont fit the bill....you can get a "Genral Idea"..but not the real exact thing...Guru Ji says..its like asking a deaf mute to describe the taste/sounds... 3 Just take a worldly example.... the Works of Shakespeare. Everybody knows his works are in the ORIGINAL....and also abridged versions, stories, simple english verisons etc..even some in Punjabi ( I had a Punjabi version of Raja Lear in my Gyani Exam in the 1970's...a very simplified story/tale...)

I will get the gist of the story/tale of lear and his daughters etc etc BUT...then again...a cheap imitation is always visible... There is a reason why the Ilahi Gurbani is in Gurmukhi Script..time is short lets..get into the act and get cracking....its just 35 akhars..and Guru Ji will do the rest..300 saal GURU de NAAL must be made truly worthwhile... AM i right ?? wrong ?? partially right ?? let the SPN redaers decide... Jarnail Singh [/QUOTE]
