The Word Waheguru/vaheguru

[kharkusingh1996]

Sangat ji, I'd like to know who uses the word "Waheguru" or "Vaheguru". It would be very interesting to see who says it differently with the W sound or V sound. I know there's really no difference but just wanted too see why SIkhs tend to choose to say "Waheguru" instead of "Vaheguru" or the other way around.

it is vaheguru because the is a va va not wa wa

[BarinderSingh]

It is Vaheguru. The letter Va in punjabi makes no W sound. Not even the slightest W sound is made. It is a hard V sound.

[Sarbat da Pala]

It depends in which country you live. I'd it's English then it should be v.

In some languages the v is w.

Khalsa Ji,

To my limited understanding, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ (Vaheguroo) starts with a Vavaa i.e. the letter V in english. So Daas pronounces it as it is read i.e. Vaheguroo

This is also explained by Bhai Jugraj Singh in a Basics of Sikhi video
