First Nanak’s gift to his followers is how to attain spiritual heights through reason; if they remain blind in ignorance, the Guru states that their fate will remain mortgaged to old money making techniques established in the name of religions. The Guru credits the failure in obtaining spiritual heights and liberation to Maya slumber, which …

Harmandar: Within
In India, it has been a tradition for a while to search the Creator outside in forests and mountains by leaving families behind; in the Gurbani, it is stressed that such efforts are not helpful in realizing the Creator. In First Nanak’s Bani Sidh Gost, the Yogis asked the Guru, thinking he too left the …
Remember and pray!
For centuries, the month of December has been reminding us (the Sikhs) how Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji and his family along with his beloved khalsa sacrificed their lives without bending down before a powerful but brutal regime; today, we have become champions of freedom for all because of our ancestors’ unselfish bravery. I urge …
The Guru Reveals A Secret
Over time, the concept of our Creator has been made so different than the reality that we always look at our Creator living somewhere else away from us. In the Gurbani, it is made clear that our Creator has made His abode in us; therefore, it is advised that we should search our Creator within …
Understanding “The Mool Mantra” of JapJi
If we don’t understand Mool Mantra (A prelude To Jap Ji), we know nothing about Sikhi; without understanding the concept of the Creator in “Mool Mantra”, we simply build our pyramids of knowledge based on stories told over times by those, who were more interested in the pursuit of their own quest than understanding fully …

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.
