Xylitol Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm going to India soon and I'm planning on buying a bunch of books. I was hoping people could recommend books or puratan granths for me to buy, either in English or in Punjabi. Also, if people could post a brief description I'd really appreciate that. Just wondering, is it considered inappropriate to transport puratan granths in your suitcase (not carryon) luggage? I'm not referring to Gurbani here, but to puratan granths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Forget all the granths as if you are going to Stay with Sant Jagjit Singh Ji Harkhowal Walae then i suggest you just bring back their hand written teekas and put them on the net when you get back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithr Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I've heard from another Singh that if you talk to the book store owner, he can usually agree to arrange shiping your books straight to the country you live in. So you might not have to put anything in your luggage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsingh00 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I agree with Kam, and if you want dasam granth steeks, there is a nihang in roparh that has written the steeks in 6 volumes, only 4 are currently published, but these are the best steeks I have seen or heard of for dasam granth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever read Giani Narain Singh Jee's steeks on Dasam Granth? Those were really worth reading. But I guess who better to do steek of the Birrassi Dasam Bani than a Nihang Singh. What's the Nihang Singh's name? I also want to get those steeks now. Does Buddha Dal have an official steek of Dasam Granth that they endorse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsingh00 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 the nihangs name has slipped my mind right now, but from what little parts of that steek I have read and have heard, it is much better than pandit narain singh's steeks, which I personally thought were a little shallow for how much people had bigged them up to me - giani narain singh doesn't really go beyond akhree arth. A nihang that is a vidyarthee of Baba Gurbachan Singh published these steeks which I believe were originally written quite a long time ago. If you ask around Nihangs in Punjab, I don't think it'll be very hard to find out where to get these steeks from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Gyani Thakur Singh ji mentioned those sateeks. Singh's name is Teja Singh of Meareau pind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Do you know where i can buy the japji sahib steek of Sant Gurbachan Singh bhinderwaleya, or a book called something similar to Khalsa Dharam Shaster from 1914? its supposed to be a book on rehit and theology and was published in 1914.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
