Apps to learn Gurmukhi

its best to go to a proper Taksali approved Santhiya teacher, doing it alone is good for practice but learning it is a completely different thing.

 

Whatever you do don't go to any old person teaching Santhiya, especially ones trained by the "SGPC", all their stuff has no lineage to actual santhiya and its sources are murky at best. If you want some good apps to use here's the ones I use. 

 

Damdami Taksal app (just put that into app store lemme know if u have trouble finding it) - this app is great as it colour codes which parts of gurbani has pauses and how long they are meant to be. There's an amazing range of bani and loads of variety there. You can do paaths like Chaupai Sahib and Reharas Sahib from various dals from there too depending on which one you connect with the most. This app is definitely the most reliable.

 

SearchGurbani - this app is also good as it has english written Gurmukhi too, however DO NOT trust the translation on there. The ones of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are ok but the ones of Dasam Granth Ji are just horrific, they're completely misconstrued so for translations I recommend listening to Katha about it. The app also has a habit of adding bindis in random places from what I gather, just remember that pher bindi isn't in Guru Granth Sahib Ji or Dasam Granth, though Dasam Granth has bindis within it iirc. So if you see words like Durg-shah, remember to pronounce it as Durgsah. or Dusut and not Dusht. 

 

But once again. I recommend finding a proper Taksali teacher to teach you.

I bookmarked the youtube videos for my mom on her tablet and she loves it. She's not tech savvy but is still able to use this. She also does sahaj paath (while learning santhya at the same time) from the Gurbani Unlimited app.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
