Hi,
at the moment I'm studying gurmukhi while reading the SGGSJ in English, page by page. A tiny bit almost every day. With time I would like to learn Panjabi and to be able to read the SGGSJ in the original text. I hope I have the time and energies to learn it.
I'm also trying to get an understanding of the SGGS (estructure, interpretations of the meaning...) and Sikhi from articles and videos. I have no punjabi or sikh background. I'm from Spain and although I'm a bit in touch with indian sikhs living in Barcelona, and I even got friends with one of them, for now I don't know anyone that has personally studied the SGGS in depth enough to help me with this. Provably someone at the local gurudwara might help me, but I'm a bit shy to ask.
I see that there are tons of info (articles, videos etc) about sikhi available in the internet, but I have the feeling that many of them can be misleading and I fear losing the track choosing the wrong references. I understand that all the info I need is in the SGGS itself. But for now, I cannot access it but in English, which, I'm afraid that can be misleading too. (I'm reading it anyway, hoping I can grasp some of the true menaing anyway).
I would be very grateful if some of you could give me good references for articles, videos or books.
I found a video here from Dr Karminder Singh Dhillon explaining the Japji Bani. I have watched some of it and it seems to me a good source. Would you agree? Would you recommend me his videos and writings?
I'm learning Gurmukhi from the "Basics of Sikhi" videos. They are very well structured and nicely explained. They have many videos about Sikhi and although they are nice to watch I think that they are provably not the kind of approach I'm looking for. What do you think?
Love,
Simranijt
