A new approach to understand and practise Gurbani

[Seeker]

Dear Friends

Gur Fateh!

I would like to share with you all, I had a great experience.

I came to know of a new web site as www.thelivingtreasure.org

This web site belongs to an organization known as The Living Treasure.

This organization aims to spread the true message of Gurbani through out the globe.

Their main funda is that only recitation of gurbani is of no use until we start understanding it side by side and start practising it in our day to day life. They higly stress that Gurbani is a 'Jeevan Jaach' a way of living being taught by the guru sahibans and it should be understood and practised in our day to day life.

These people are doing Gurbani seminars in various parts of the world. They have already done Gurbani seminars in Delhi, Mumbai, kolkotta, Patiala, Shimla, Pune, Jabalpur, Hyderabad and many other parts of India and also in Canada, NewJersey, New York , Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai and many other places.

In most of these seminars they sing a single shabad from Guru Granth sahib and then they keep on discussing this single shabad from 6 to 8 hours continuously. A single orator speaks for so long . And the other surprising thing is that none of their orators are professional bhaais or raagis they all are Young Engineers and Doctors and Students from the most modern disciplines of Life and their commnad on Gurbani pronunciation , Gurbani Grammar and Gurmat Siddhant is marvellous. They way in which they relate the shabad with our day to day living is just great. Thousands of youngsters have joined them and they have really changes their way of life and have started following the footsteps of Gursikhi in the real sense.

A lot of their audio/video cassettes and books are also available which can be arranged by contacting them through their web site.

Moreoevr it is great that they have recently started a discussion forum also on their web site .

When u see their orators who are all young educated guys and gals , and the depth in which they talk about Gurbani , then it is something just out of the world. They discuss the true approach to understand and practise Gurbani in a very lay man language.

Side by side they have also started various types of social services to practise the concept of 'vand chakkna ' in the real sense. They say that the concept of 'vand chakna' which they have learnt from various types of seva in Gurudwara like 'langar' , 'jodian dee seva' etc. would actually bring its results when we would practise what we have learnt in the external world out of Gurdwara also . So they are trying to help the less priviledged brethren of the society in its best possible way . Though it is just the beginning of tehir dreams but slwoly and slowly with the support of one another these people are moving ahead on the footsteps of Guru Nanak Sahib.

U can have better details from their web site www.thelivingtreasure.org
