Xylitol Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fathe!! Sadh Sangat ji, What is the best Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji katha to listen to? I mean besides the 600+ hour SGGS katha done by Sant Gurbachan Singh ji. I have too much trouble understanding that b/c of the recording quality. Also, wasn't there are new katha from Sant Gurbachan Singh ji that was supposed to come out? A katha that he did for singhs at Metha? Edited December 17, 2009 by Xylitol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fathe! Baba Avtar Singh Ji Badni Kalan wale are meant to be pretty good: Bhai Avtar Singh Ji For simple, direct translation, the Gyani Takhur Singh Ji's is ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 A katha that he did for singhs at Metha? Dingh Metha taksal was established by Sant Kartar Singh Ji I still would suggest Sant Gurbachan SIngh Ji's Katha other then that Sant Avtar Singh ji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 A katha that he did for singhs at Metha? I think Sant Ji completed a Katha at Mehta, before they left their sareer. Wasn't the site originally a house that belonged to one of their premis? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 As far as i know Mehta was a nihang Gurdwara given to Sant Kartar Singh through the Bidhi Chand lineage and baba santa singh. The last katha completed was the one that had been released and that was done at Sri Patna Sahib. After that Sant Mohan Singh Ji started the to do the katha of Suru GRanth Sahib Ji and Jathedar Kirpal Singh ji took over the duty of the Ithaas Katha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Had the chance to ask a student of Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji this question today - he says that the last katha was done at Mehta. They did their first ever one there as well, by coincidence. It was a large house that belonged to one of their premis and after Sant Ji left their sareer, then he donated the house to Sant Kartar Singh Ji. They then bought some of the neighboring houses and built the present Gurudwara. Edited December 17, 2009 by Matheen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 weren't there 2 different SGGS ji kathas recorded of Sant Gurbachan Singh ji? And wasn't one of those kathas done for aum sangat, and there was another deeper one done just at the taksaal for the singhs??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I wasnt aware of that. in total 3 different kathas were recorded and sampardai have them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 To answer this question I recommend that you also listen to a katha by SS Maskeen, where he talks about all the different teekas (commentry) on JapJi Sahib. He states that when he was young and started reading all the 20+ teekas written by various authors he was quite frustrated that all these eminnent writers have written brilliant peices of work BUT none of the arths/teekas etc match each other or even come close to each others definitions. So who is correct and who is wrong?? He goes on to say that a person writes according to his padvi, gyaan and understanding of the depth of the bani. Furthermore, as time went on he came to understand that ALL the teekas are correct even though they may even give opposing commentries! I'd say it isn't about just listening to just one BEST katha but ALL the various kathas from different people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks Kam, do you know where to find all 3 of these kathas? I've only seen one on the web, along with portions of a second katha. btw, regarding the recording at the taksaal, that was just something I had read somewhere, so it very probably could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam1825 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 All the kathas were handed to Baba Thakur Singh Ji in 2003. The other kathas from the second katha were all i could keep a hold off before they were taken from me. I do not think the other recordings will ever see the light of day. Mehta also have 2200 tapes of the full sooraj prakash katha by Sant Kirpal Singh Ji and the full Dasam Granth Katha by Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji. I do not expect that these will ever make it to the public scene and are being locked away! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I do not expect that these will ever make it to the public scene and are being locked away! That's criminal. They should at least make them available to their vidhyarthis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam1825 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 They are not being made available to Vidyarthis or the public. Sant Mohan Singh Ji and Sant Hari sIngh Ji have tried to get hold of this material but everytime their existance is denied even though myself and others have listened to them. It the old Brahmin thing where you keep the vidya to yourself and then preach. Baba Harnam Singh has not even got access to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
