USEFUL INFORMATION
===================

The excitement that arises out of meeting Guru Granth is an experience called NAAM - also called WAH-E-GURU. This spark, surprisingly, leads you into a social path, where you begin offering social service to the needy people of the world. Beautiful days set in. The ecstasy is kept alive by loud singing of God all through those beautiful days. Guru Granth provides the lyrics[Shabad in Punjabi]. This combination of SEWA(service) and SHABAD(singing), eventually carries one to the last stage where one says - O My God! I never saw You in humanity and Nature. You were right in front of me! Guru Granth is all about that. The first eight pages[Japuji] are his philosophy in nutshell. The rest of the Granth is meant to be sung in classical Indian Raags. The Shabads are words of praise on the Universal God.

Guru Granth is not attached to a particular religion, nor is it a religion. It is a neutral music that anybody can sing towards the Beloved Common God - call him Allah, Ram, Jesus, Rabb, anything. Guru Granth is n't concerned about the name of the God, or the religions of the world.

Guru Granth is a joint writing by intelligent people of India, who came from a cocktail of various religions and castes of that time. The Hon'ble Bhats were Brahmins, Hon'ble Kabir was both a Muslim and Hindu, Hon'ble Baba Farid was a Muslim who talks about his offering of Namaaz at numerous places in the Granth, Hon'ble Ravidass was a Chamar, the Gurus were themselves Khatris, the list of authors is endless. The common thing among all these authors was that they wanted men to become good and make the world more better. The language is not wholly Punjabi. It is mostly Bhojpuri, and Indian dialects. The script is called Gurmukhi,

People of all religions from Hindusim to Christianity to Islam love to read Guru Granth. Many of them attain the Supreme Understanding through this. You don't have to be a Sikh to feel Guru Granth, who is primarily concerned about reforming you as a human being and making the world a better place. The followers of Sikh Religion make a personal commitment to follow the path of Guru Granth through Baptizing. It helps, because, you know, a commitment like this has greater chances of preventing one from going astray.

Excellent app, clear and non obtrusive, no ads! Easy to navigate via the bookmark feature. Would suggest that more than one bookmark would be most useful (eg. separate ones for Hukamnamas and your own progress through the SGGS). The translstion is good though simplistic at times. Pages are reasonably in sync with the original. Highly recommended app for the serious devotee. WJKK WJKF🙏

3/5 stars, but only because I'm not equipped to rate the content, but the layout is clear, though it's clearly only meant for the serious student. An academic work primarily, in approach and layout, without any usability help/hints. Zero help to Me as I was looking for an introduction/information or suggestions on where to find those things.

Very useful. Clear translation of Guru Ji's words into English. It is a blessing for those who can not read or speak Gurbani in the original language. Thank you very much! I use it with my transliteration Nitnem to try to learn the meaning as I sing the original words.
