In Sri Guru Granth Sahib, there is First Nanak’s expressed truth about those persons who don’t care what the Guru says but remain interested in those things that lead them to frustrations and sufferings. The Guru points out our indifference toward our Creator through a metaphor of a frog, which remains engrossed in its own …

First Nanak: Always Be Prepared To Go Home.
In the Gurbani, death is deemed as a call from the Creator (23, SGGS), but it is also referred in it to realize us that we are not here forever; we witness the reality of death everyday around; when someone dear to us dies, we feel it very close to us. Bringing close the certainty …
A Visit To The Guru
I want to share with my Sikh brothers and sisters a Sloka of Third Nanak through which I feel guided toward the path of Prabh in a nut shell. The language the Guru uses is simple and attractive. I get glued to his every idea in this sloka to explore Gurmat. Let us first read …
Understanding All Around Us From Guru Nanak
Through many channels, today’s Sikhs are offered polished tastes of scriptures of many other religions just to fish them to convert; the care takers of the Guru Bank have been looting it for a while; therefore, drums of such new kind of missionaries are sounding louder and louder day by day. Today, in the age …
The Experience Beyond Science Or Rationality
As I read Guru Nanak, I do not believe that what he has given to his Sikhs is about science and its discoveries in context of the Creator; finding science from religious scriptures is a common fallacy; the science is an open field of conquering possibilities, but it is not complete in its mission, and …

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.
