willow Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I would love to learn more about Sikhism. I have spent the last few months looking. The more I learn the more I love what I see! There is so much information on the internet, a lot goes over my head. Could you recommend the best place to learn as a beginner?Thank you, 0 Quote
amardeep Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Hi WillowA good place to start would be the Basics of Sikhi project which you can find on facebook and youtube. They produce loads of videos and materials on Sikhi in the English language. That is a very good place to start. 0 Quote
harsharan000 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome,I would suggest you to better go to the very roots or source of Sikhee, which is any web with the transliteration of Sree Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj, the teachings of the Guru Sahibans, who are the embodiment of Truth and wisdom.One such web recommended is : www. searchgurbani.comYou will be amazed, about how the Truth is conveyed in a simple and clear language, about how they try to describe the Unfathomable and Undescribable Supreme Being.And then, if there is anything which you like to get some more light on something in particular that which you are going through, you may place your queries here, and most gladly, any of the members here, will assist you.Best of luck and God bless you. 2 Quote
amardeep Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 i would recommend you to use www.srigranth.org instead for searching and reading the Guru Granth Sahib. It's a wonderful site that provides you two different english translations and has a simple yet beautiful layout. 2 Quote
willow Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 The sites are perfect, thank you! 0 Quote
amardeep Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Where are you based? You might want to link up with fellow Sikhs in your area whom might teach you more in real life. More and more Sikh temples teach in local languages. 0 Quote
