dalsingh101 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Professor Sahib's works are very useful. He follows a grammarian approach and has definitions of more difficult words (padh arth) just before his arths. Overall though I think using a variety of sources is better than one, so don't solely rely on that. http://gurugranthdarpan.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Www.srigranth.org has the teeka of professor Sahib Singh and Fareedkoti of Baba Badan Singh Nirmala. Both are good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any methods to learn the meanings of Gurbani or books and strategies to increase vocabulary? Bro, if you have heard the entire katha of SSGGSJM, then you should definitely try Amir Bhandar teeka. It goes into more depth than any other complete teeka of SSGGSJM. If you haven't heard the entire katha, then try Fareedkot wala teeka. IMHO, avoid Professor Sahib Singh jee's teeka, until you have gone through the above teekas. Grammar can assist a person in understanding the arths of Gurbani, but one cannot restrict the words of the Almighty Lord, Waheguru, using it. Other teeka you can try, is by Gyani Harbans Singh jee. He does pad arth and states ucharan sayd too. Additionally, he does a comparative study in the teeka. The below is from another topic: Quote Bhai saab jee, Amir Bhandar was written by Gyani Kirpal Singh jee, best student of Vidya Martand Srimaan 108 Sant Gyani Amir Singh jee Khalsa Sato ki Gali wale. These personalities were Jathedars of Amritsari Taksal. These arths are very close (if not same) to the arths taught by Satguru jee (Tenth Master) to the Sikhs.

Quote (Amardeep paaji) There are still two commentaries extant in manuscript form from the Kavi darbaar. One is also called the Praya Sri Guru Granth Sahib written by Kavi Kirat Singh and other is by Kavi Gurdas SIngh called the Praya Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ka. There might have been more from the Kavi Darbar which were lost Unquote Bhul chuk maaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) You can find arths of Sukhmani Sahib, Gareebi Shabads, and Slok Bhagat Kabir ji and Bhagat Farid ji on www.gursevak.com. IF you click on Gurbani Meanings near the bottom right of the homepage you can view arth shabad by shabad right in your screen. I find it to be a novel and useful way to explore arth in bite-size pieces. Edited January 2, 2016 by Xylitol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Pandit Tara Singh Narotam also wrote extensive commentaries on large sections of the Guru Granth Sahib in the 1880s. He was the teacher of Giani Gian Singh. I've heard they are quite deep, though I havent been able to understand the cryptic language in the few short parts i've read so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Has anyone read the Teeka of Anandhan Udasi from 1795 ? The Sewapanthis also completed a japji sahib teeka the same year named Japuji Paramaarth. Its lesser known though. And in the same year the nirmale did a Sanskrit translation and teeka of the Japji. 1795 was a productive year ;) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Anandghan Udasi was from the late 18th Century. He wrote teekas on Japji Sahib, Rehraas Sahib, Kirtan Sohila etc. You can find them on Punjab Digital Library. I read a few pages years ago, he goes into a discussion on the name of Nanak - meaning and etymology etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
