Siri Guru Granth Sahib

This translation of Guru Granth Sahib is one of the best English translations in my view, as it is in simple understandable English, each shabad’s summary message is given, there is connection between the shabads to reveal continuity of thought process in Guru ji’s message. Thanks to S Daljit Singh ji for the great work, which will benefit future generations understand Guru Ji’s message easily.

A monumental undertaking, reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the Sri Guru GranthSahib and to the scholarly study of its voluminous texts. Both its rendition of the original Gurmukhi script, with accompanying English transliteration, and its erudite commentary on each of the Granth’s many hymns mark this work as a stunning achievement which will benefit all serious students of the Sikh religion and of world religions in general.

Daljit Singh Jawa ji has clearly been chosen and blessed by God himself to contribute in his excellent translation of this priceless Divine expression (Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji) from Guru Sahib ji himself in 7 large volumes. Each page of this priceless Divine expression oozes of Divine nectar (ras) with conspicuous clarity of Guru Sahib’s simple message for all souls who are going through different phases and stages in their lives. No doubt this special effort will last many ages to come as this divine message is relevant for all time frames and eras for all souls regardless of their background, ethnicity or nationality. Am blessed to have had the honor of reading the initial volumes of this Divine piece of work!

Disclaimer: I am not a Sikh by their definition. I am a 62 year old westerner, brought up in the scientific West. I have spent almost my entire life seeking sane and logical spirituality but have been disappointed by all the religions I've studied from atheism to Zoroastrianism; I have finally come to the place of humanism.

A year ago I came across the Sikh scripture called Guru Granth Sahib (GGS). I couldn't believe my luck and I began my study of Sikhism. This scripture is over 500 years old and was written in a variety of different languages and dialects, in a poetry style. This makes translation difficult. There are a few translations into English but most of them are in archaic English or the language and grammar is incorrect. Mr Jawa has presented us with his translation and interpretation of the GGS. Of all the English translations of the GGS I've seen so far, this is by far the one that I like to read.

Awesome and clearly written, must buy for easy read in english, especially for people who cannot read punjabi easily.
