Remember and pray!
Sri Guru Gobind Singh’s small and young sons stood fearless against the tyranny of the powerful regime of their times. Every year, their martyrdom reminds the Sikhs to remain always above fearing or coercing of others in power or riches. Today when I see some Sikhs selling for nothing I wonder how could they forget …
The Guru Guided Prayer
Being the Guru’s Sikhs, we must follow him and decide what we should ask for from the Creator forgetting about materialistic demands we give priority in our prayers, because if we want to reach to a state of mind in which eternal bliss shines all the time, we cannot demand that thing, which may …
Obeying To The Guru Before The Fair Timing Ends
Everyday, we witness people dying of natural causes, or diseases, or in accidents, or as victims of homicide. We also know that regardless the age, people die everyday. Obviously whoever is born is bound to go. In the Sikhi, we are supposed neither to fear from death, nor to dip into sadness because of …
Sticking To The Guru By ignoring Insignificant Rituals
The first day of every Indian month is called “Sangrand”. Even today, almost in all Sikh circles, the importance of “Sangrand” is being advocated; if the Guru suggests that days are just days and there is nothing special about them, why we fall for mythical concepts? According to the Guru, everyday is auspicious to …

About
Gursoch is a nonprofit society dedicated to spread the message conveyed in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Its members are not interested to promote their own agenda at all. While doing so, if any reader feels disagreeing with the way we understand the Gurbani, it is our pleasure to respect his/her views. We strongly believe that late Dr. Sahib Singh, Late Manmohan Singh, late Bhai Veer Singh and Dr.Taran Singh have done tremendous job in interpreting the Gurbani though about some verses we have different views. As inspired by the Gurbani, we don’t want to indulge in any kind of debate about it; therefore, we entreat forgiveness from those, who think they know better than the rest of the people and who have tried to understand the Gurbani to share with others. Those who are interested to get published on this site, must send their articles through email to gursoch@yahoo.com. There will be a provision in future for such writers to post their articles directly but under supervision.
We don’t have any alliance with any group, organization and party; therefore, we certainly will endorse none.
We are not here to influence anyone or convert anyone; our entire goal is to share what we have learned from the Gurbani and how we got improved by merely trying to put it in practice slowly. The Gurbani is not written to control people to bow to certain dogmatic restrictions, but it is an expression of its writers’ authentic and righteous experience. Comprehending completely the subtle ideas expressed in the Gurbani, certainly requires the same state of mind of those who penned down it: Bhagatas and the Gurus. Merely weaving anecdotes around any shabda is not fair. We verify that the Gurbani does miracles indeed; we have seen some people, having no merit, turning into virtuous ones through the Gurbani. As Harpreet Singh from Ludhiana says,” If a few get changed through the Guru’s message, the aim of introducing the Gurbani in detail is fulfilled”.
We hope that you will enjoy the Gurbani-centered site,”www.gursoch.com” and recommend it to those, who are heartily interested with empirical attitude to change through it. And, those, who feel they know better themselves and who are eager to connote every word, used in the Gurbani, to debate with anomalous reasoning, have our best wishes also. Gurdeep Singh, a member of Gursoch team, has translated Sri Guru Granth Sahib investing around seven and half years hoping to put it on the Internet for those, who have difficulty to understand Sri Guru Granth Sahib in original. Slowly, posting on the Internet will start soon with Akalpurakh’s blessings. We thank all those good people, who have unconditionally supported this project.
We also thank you for visiting this site; your comments will be welcomed.
