In Punjab, India, there is a picture of Darbar Sahib on sale everywhere; on that picture there is a Gurbani-verse, ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਰਖਿਆ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ॥ Har manḏar har jī▫o sāji▫ā rakẖi▫ā hukam savār. but it has nothing to do with the of picture of Darbar Sahib. Its usage is misleading, because it …
In the following shabda Third Nanak makes it clear that it is not the reading or discussing of religious scriptures that helps the seeker to obtain spiritual progression but the grace of the Creator. The Guru advises his followers to reflect on the mind and its different situations it falls for by giving an example …
Sikhi settles well only with the Guru’s thought that binds and guides its course; any thought other than the Guru’s words has no meaning in the Sikhi. Any effect of science or modern culture used while understanding the Gurbani will literally become a misgiving. In the past, many people have tried to interpret the Gurbani …
Once one truly falls in love with the Creator, one sees the world very differently. A distance develops from the world, which is involved in the Maya pursuits deeply; then living in that world becomes easier and comfortable. Everywhere the presence of the beloved Creator is felt intensely. Compassion for the week and left behind …
To tread on a path, we need very clear instructions. If someone says: this world is a projection of your mind and you see what your mind projects; otherwise, it doesn’t exist; will we realize that? We may never comprehend it actually, because we don’t only feel this world, but we also touch it and verify its existence. We have developed …
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.
