ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. The first two volumes of the translation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in English by Dr Devinder Singh Sekhon have been published. It has taken him many years to comprehend the depth of Guru Granth Sahib and translate it. The next two volumes will be available in July -August of this year. It will be your valuable possession. If you are interested, contact him by e-mail as follows: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
2. As you might have noticed, I have not been able to add some new article for some time. The reason is that I am working on translating Sri Guru Granth Sahib in English to serve the needs of our youth who do not understand deep Punjabi. It is a very challenging task, but I am sure Guru Nanak Sahib will be kind to me to finish the project which is expected to take 5-6 years. I need your support and prayers.
Books By Dr Devinder Singh Sekhon: 2 recently published books by Dr Sekhon: (1) Gulliyen Chikkarr Door Ghur, and (2) Greebi Guda Hamaari are available in North America from Sucha Sauda, 2575 Steeles Ave E. Brampton (near Toronto), Ontario. L6T 5T1. Canada.
Phone: 905-459-8351
Both books are well liked by the readers.
A new article " Was Guru Gobind SIngh Ji a worshiper of some goddess" has been added under the Gurbani section. Some selfish people had concocted a completely baseless story that Guru Sahib was a worshiper of some goddess, Naina Devi. The Article debunks that baseless misinformation.

13. Respected Dr.Sahib,
Sat Sri Akal.
I read all u r articles with great interest and I appreciate u r hard-work,and the new and correct interpretations of Gurbani.In the Punjab villages some half cooked granthies always distort holy Gurbani.Tnx for u r efforts. Now the problem is most of the people dont understand Eng.thus they are being deprived of getting benefit from u r great work.Most of my friends face the same prob.They try to read these articles but r unable to understand fully.(For God sake dont think that I know Eng. very well).But my friends want the articles to be published in Punjabi as well. At least some of them.That will be highly appreciated. Please excuse me if u think I am being arrogant.In fact I have the same prob.
thnx.once again.

12. Dear Dr Sekhon
Sat Sri Akal
Since couple of days I was thinking about Gurdwara(so called) Hemkunt Sahib and was confused about its truthful existence. Even we had talk couple of times, about this in our home and when I try to say about this, my wife and my mom always try to stop me saying anything about Hemkunt Sahib.
When I was in university, I visited Hemkunt sahib once with my very religious friends and they were giving respect to Hemkunt Sahib same as Sri Harimander Sahib, Amritsar. Even at that time I tried to discuss same thing but they were not ready to listen even a single word about this.
Since then I never ever read any article anywhere, no newspaper, no radio, no tv who tried to tell people about Hemkunt's authenticity.
Here from your article it made my mind clear. Again thanks to you. I think some how we should make this article reach maximum Sikh sangat.
Also you should write something about so many gurdwaras already constructed and some are still under construction in Brampton and Peel region. Do you think we need so many gurdwaras ?
Thanks and kind regards,
Bobby Bath

I went through your website and some contents you wrote here. These are really good. Actually all my life I never read any holy book like any path or gutka or anything like this and I can say this material I spent some time on, is very first one. I really feel interesting when I read this. This is creating some interest in me. Thanks to you for this.
You are really doing a great work and personally I met you and found you as a great personality.
So please keep up the good work.
Thanks.

9. Dear Dr. Sekhon,
I have been reading u r website with keen interest for the last many months.All u r articles r highly informative and knowledgeable . What makes them so special is that u don`t follow the old track.By writing articles like Science v/s God ,Hemkunt and Dukh Bhanjani Beri, U have shattered many of my beliefs that had unwittingly crept into my tiny piece of brain.U R translation of Japuji Sahib is also marvelous.The way u explain words is simply without parallel.U R knowledge of Hindu Mythology is also very deep which helps in better understanding Holy Gurbani.Pl keep on serving the lovers of Sikhism.Thanx.

8. I read your article with interest and appreciate your putting together appropriate references from Gurbani. I also agree with your last sentence as conclusion except that your language implies there that heaven and hell are physical places. You perhaps meant that those place are our munn, mind or inner self, where Waheguru’s praise is sung and Hell … where Waheguru is not remembered. My note is not to debate those terms but point out that your translations of many gurbani verses given in the body of your essay are not consistent with your conclusion.

1. Respected Dr Sahib,
Gur Fateh.For the first time we have been provided with the meaningful interpretations of The Holy G G Sahib. No one has ever dared to challenge the made up stories that have entered into the Sikh Religion.I cannot understand why our people dont stand up against the stories. The only purpose of a Sikh should be to lead life as per the principles of sikhism as incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib.All u r articles are simply wonderful.I think U R doing a great service to the Sikh Nation. please keep it up,And dont give into any kind of pressure. thank u.

2. Dear Dr Sekhon
Only recently a friend of mine suggested me to check out your website. Am I ever glad that he did that! Not only am I enjoying all your article, but I am learning a lot about Gurbani. I wish we were taught Gurbani much earlier. Some of your articles are eye-openers, especially Sikhi, Khalsa and Amrit; Amrit and Amritsar, Lucky and Unlucky days, Guru Har Krishan Sahib: A Great martyr and so on. Please keep up the excellent service for the younger generation.
Cannot thank you enough
