In the following shabda, Fourth Nanak advises the mortals to battle with their five negative forces within to come clean to become worthy of Ekankaar, the Creator. What are those five …

The Bliss We Often Don’t Seek
I want to share with the Gurbani lovers a few things about the Gurbani : The Gurbani is not a poetic fantasy but an actual expression of spiritual experience expressed through beautiful metaphors and analogies. We all are trying to interpret it through our intellectual efforts, but we don’t have the experience the Gurbani came …
A Gift Of Peace
We don’t know why and when the bani “Sukhmani” was written, and believing in stories about it doesn’t help us anyway. In Santhya Bhai Veer Singh relates some stories given in “Suraj Parkash”. According to that, some followers asked the Guru to write simple bani to help the follower to get attached to Naam. It …
The Path On Which We Often Slip Down
The following shabda at 830, SGGS is all about seeking Ekankaar within with extreme longing. Fifth Nanak expresses the plight of a seeker, who is utterly sincere in his goal. As the seeker progresses, a big change comes within and the Seeker’s ultimate wish materializes. It starts with very sincere hope of envisioning Ekankaar within. …
Halting The Robbery In Progress
It has become very difficult for me to convince many of my sisters and brothers that we are spiritually being robbed because of our over indulgence in the Maya pursuits, show off and blind faith in group mentality. Sometimes I face opposition just because I cannot accept the way they mould the Gurbani according 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.
