Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji veer ji. I do listen to katha but recently i haven't had much time as i have been really busy my nitnem banis.My current routine is that i usually that before sunset around 2 hours.
 
I take a bath/shower then start to read these banis in this order nowdays Chandi Di Vaar,Chandi Charitar 1,Bhagauti Astotar,Shastar Naam Mala,Sukhmani Sahib. Then Jap Ji Sahib and Ramkali ki Vaar Satta Balwand once Sukhmani Sahib Ji is finished. I do try to add other banis that i have mentioned previously if i get time.
 
But now i am gonna start to listen to the katha of these banis as i do need to start to understand the arths of these mahaan banis. So i am thinking about using Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawale.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji veer ji. Thanks for the link as its got extremely well translated Roman English as its really well written. I will start to read it as its full of lots of knowledge that has taken a lot of hard work to get together and publish online.

Waheguru Ji
This might be helpful for you, gurbani is in roman character and is explained in english. The entire Guru Granth Sahib Ji has been completed like this which you can read on this website http://www.sadhsangat.com/category/banis/sukhmani/
 
Here is an example 
ਸਿਮਰਉ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਉ ॥ਕਲਿ ਕਲੇਸ ਤਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਮਿਟਾਵਉ ॥
Simra▫o simar simar sukẖ pāva▫o. Kal kales ṯan māhi mitāva▫o.
 
I (simrau) keep in mind/conform to – Naam/Divine virtues and commands, and (simar-i simar-i) conforming it – twice – in thought and deed – I do not commit vices and – (paavau) have (sukh-u) peace. And, (mittavau = erase) remove (kaleys) strife (kal-i) by conflicts present (maah-i) in (tan) the body/life.
 
ਸਿਮਰਉ ਜਾਸੁ ਬਿਸੁੰਭਰ ਏਕੈ ॥ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਅਗਨਤ ਅਨੇਕੈ ॥
Simra▫o jās bisumbẖar ekai. Nām japaṯ agnaṯ anekai.
 
I (simrau) conform to (jaas-u) glory/virtues of (eykai) the One (bisumbhar = nurturer of universe) Sustainor Almighty.
(Aganat aneykai) countless people (japat) remember/obey (naam-u) Divine commands, i.e. the creatures exist by Naam/Divine commands/laws of nature.
 
ਬੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸੁਧਾਖ੍ਯ੍ਯਰ ॥ਕੀਨੇ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਇਕ ਆਖ੍ਯ੍ਯਰ ॥
Beḏ purān simriṯ suḏẖākẖ▫yar. Kīne rām nām ik ākẖ▫yar.
 
 (Beyd) the Vedas, Puranas and Smritis, i.e. the scriptures are (sudhaakhyar = container of nectar) source of awareness of Naam. They have been (keeney = made) created to teach (ik aakhyar) the one Word, (naam) Divine virtues and commands.
 
ਕਿਨਕਾ ਏਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਜੀਅ ਬਸਾਵੈ ॥ਤਾ ਕੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਗਨੀ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
Kinkā ek jis jī▫a basāvai. Ŧā kī mahimā ganī na āvai.
 
One in whose mind the Creator (basaavai = puts) causes to abide (kinka eyk) one bit of the virtues i.e. one who remembers and imbibes even a bit of Divine virtues,
(Mahima) greatness (ta ki) of that person is (gani na aavai = cannot be counted) beyond measure.
ਕਾਂਖੀ ਏਕੈ ਦਰਸ ਤੁਹਾਰੋ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਉਨ ਸੰਗਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਉਧਾਰੋ ॥੧॥
Kāʼnkẖī ekai ḏaras ṯuhāro. Nānak un sang mohi uḏẖāro. ||1||
 
O Creator, those who (kaankhi) long for (daras) vision of (tuhaaro) Yours (eykai = one) only, i.e. those who long to experience Your presence within their minds thinking of none else.
please place me (un sang-i) in their company to (udhaaro = lift) emancipate me from the vices of the world-play, says fifth Nanak. 1.
Parabẖ kai simran ṯirath isnānī. Parabẖ kai simran ḏargėh mānī.
 
 People bathe at holy places to purify themselves. One becomes (isnaani) bather at (teerath) holy places, i.e. purifies the inner-self (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.
One is (maani) accepted (dargah) Divine court/for union with God, (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.
 
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਭਲਾ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸੁਫਲ ਫਲਾ ॥
Parabẖ kai simran ho▫e so bẖalā. Parabẖ kai simran sufal falā.
 
(S-u) that which (hoey) is done (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty is (bhalaa) good.
One’s actions are (suphal) fruitful by (simaran-i) conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty; as (phalaa = fruit) fulfilment of longing for the Almighty is attained.
 
ਸੇ ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਆਪਿ ਸਿਮਰਾਏ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਏ ॥੩॥
Se simrahi jin āp simrā▫e. Nānak ṯā kai lāga▫o pā▫e. ||3||
Only (sey) they (simrah-i) remember/conform to Divine commands, (jin) whom the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (simraaey) causes to conform.
I (laagau) touch (ta kai) their (paaey) feet, i.e. humbly seek guidance from them, says fifth Nanak. 3.
 
Page 263
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਸਭ ਤੇ ਊਚਾ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਉਧਰੇ ਮੂਚਾ ॥
Parabẖ kā simran sabẖ ṯe ūcẖā. Parabẖ kai simran uḏẖre mūcẖā.
 
(Simran-u) conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty is (oochha) higher (tey) than (sabh) all religious practices.
(Moocha = large) multitudes of people (udhrey = lifted) are emancipated from vices (simran-i) by conformance to commands (kai) of (prabh) the Almighty.
 
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਬੁਝੈ ॥ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸੁਝੈ ॥
Parabẖ kai simran ṯarisnā bujẖai. Parabẖ kai simran sabẖ kicẖẖ sujẖai.
 

Waheguru Ji 
Any progress/update towards this goal?

Some day I'll be able to follow these perfect Hukams of Maharaj. 
Some day the kalyug won't trigger me. Some day the Naam will have run a deep enough groove I'll abide in it. Some day ...I'll make it 24hr without conscious dissonance and resistance. 
Some day I'll follow these perfect Hukam of Maharaj. 

Sounds like 52 hukam to me. 

Everyone here arguing for the proof of 52 Hukams , whether it was the hukams of Guru Gobind Singh Ji or not..... But have you thought, where is the proof that it is not the hukam of Guru?

I think 8 outta 10 O y'all are going into dukhi for casteism and racism....

Waheguru 

Waheguru Ji
To increase our Simran, please join in starting your own 125,000 Waheguru Jaap.  All Sangat can participate and should post how much they are doing everyday until they get to 125,000 no matter how long it takes.  This is to encourage discipline.
This will be a open Jaap.  You can do while sitting or walking around doing normal activities.  The focus will be to say Waheguru with love and listen with love.    
 We need to do what we came to do in this Janam, which is to do the jap of Waheguru.
ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭਿ ਕੂੜੁ ਗਾਲ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਹੋਛੀਆ ॥੧॥
Nām binā sabẖ kūṛ gālĥī hocẖẖī▫ā. ||1||
that without the Naam, everything is false and worthless. ||1||  761

ਆਪਿ ਜਪਹੁ ਅਵਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਾਵਹੁ ॥
Āp japahu avrā nām japāvhu.
Chant the Naam yourself, and inspire others to chant it as well.  289

🙏 Can't stop thinking of a Sakhi I shared on sikhsangat awhile back
 
The British were going to Auction Sri Harimandir Sahib Ji on April 30, 1877, the plans were to build a giant church. But Sat Guru Ji Did not let it Happen. A Miracle changed everything, on Morning of April 30, 1877.
 
 
 
September 2, 2013: For those of us who’ve been to Darbaar Sahib Amritsar, we may have noticed a sign outside on the Darshani Deori that reads:
 
 
 
“It is for the knowledge of all that in Harimandir Sahib on April 30, 1877 at 4.30 in the morning, a strange thing happened. There were about four hundred devotees enjoying spiritual peace of celestial music in Harimandir Sahib when suddenly a flash of lighting was seen which in the form of a big resplendence entered through the door on the mountain-side and exploded exactly like a ball in front of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and illuminating everything then went out, becoming a streak of light through the southern door–though at the time of its exploding there was a dreadful and forceful sound, no harm of any kind occurred to any devotee sitting inside and no harm to the building or anything else in the precinct. All the people described this supernatural scene as the wonderful doing of Sri Guru Ram Das himself”
 
 
 
(translation based on one in “Strange but True in Sikhism” by SS Kohli p.11)
 
 
 
This miracle transformed the Panth and brought it back from the brink of oblivion.
 
After the fall of the Sikh Kingdom in 1849, the Sikhs were in very serious trouble. The Gurdwaras were in control of Mahants who had installed Hindu Idols and barred “low castes” from entering. British observers wrote that Amrit Sinchaars almost never took place. Sikh women lost their distinct appearance and no longer followed rehit or took amrit.
 
 
 
The British even began to photograph Sikhs as they believed this “fading sect” ought to be recorded in history and one day shown in museums as a part of India’s history. The British also started a heavy mission of conversion amongst the Sikhs. Many notable Sikhs left the faith at this time. Raja Ranjit Singh’s general, Jowand Sikh Mokhal’s family embraced Islam, Beharwala Sardar Isher Singh became Muslim under the influence of a prostitute, Harnam Singh of the Kapurthala Royal family became Christian, Dayal Singh Majithia became a Brahmo Samajist and gave over the Daily Tribune, Dayal Singh College and a Library to the sect.
 
 
 
Big Sikh landlords Mangal Singh Virk and Charat Singh of Barhar became Muslims for Muslim women as well. In 1873, 4 Sikh boys Aya Singh, Attar Singh, Sadhu Singh and Santokh Singh announced they were converting ot Christianity and prepared to cut their hair. Later they were convinced not to do this.
 
 
 
Harmandir Sahib was under the control of the British Government and they had appointed a Sikh manager, Mangal Singh to look after the site for them. The British had nefarious designs for the Sikhs. They had intended to make Sree Darbaar Sahib the main Diocese for the Christian Church and convert the complex into a giant church. Crucifixes were even put near the entrance of Sree Darbaar Sahib near the foot-wash area. Sardar Mangal Singh heard these rumours and despite being pro-British, felt very upset. He met with Punjab’s Lt. Governor to ask about this issue and he did not give any reassurance but asked him to speak with the Viceroy.
 
 
 
The Viceroy was at this time in Gobind Garh fort in Amritsar. Sardar Mangal Singh went to meet him and was told that the British were lawfully entitled to own, manage and dispose of all property owned earlier by the Sikh regime. They could do as they wish in the future. The Sikhs came out very dejected and sat in a Gurdwara trying to understand what to do. They decided to hold and Akhand Path Sahib in Darbaar Sahib and do Ardaas that the most precious place of the Sikhs would be saved.
 
 
 
The next day, the sangat gathered at Harmandir Sahib and Asa Di Vaar began. An intelligence officer sent by the Viceroy was also present to watch over the gathering. At 4.30AM, the ball of light entered and stopped in front of Guru Granth Sahib ji and then did as was described above. The Sangat began to repeat “Dhan Guru Ram Das!”. News of this event went all over Punjab. The hundreds of witnesses all gave their names as proof of this great miracle. The intelligence officer too was stunned and advised the British Government that any attempt to take over Darbaar Sahib would be wrong. This incident was Guru Ram Das himself blessing the Sikhs. It showed the Sikhs that Guru was not far, but always watching over his Panth. At a time where amritdhari Singhs were almost extinct and Hindu ritual had taken hold in the Gurdwaras and Sikhs were converting away en masse, Guru Ram Das enacted this miracle and revived and awakened the Sikhs. The Gurdwara Reform Movement gathered steam. The entire Panth rose up to save Sikhi. The Sikhs were saved from the brink of extinction.
