Daily Gurbani Vocabulary - Every Evening

Whenever we go to Gurdwara Sahib or listen Kirtan at home, we might feel sometimes that Gurbani being recited is too difficult for us to understand and comprehend. This is not strange.

Until and unless we know the building blocks of Gurbani, we can not grasp the meaning. Because if we don't know the meaning of those building blocks (Gurbani Words), we would not be able to focus on the complete meaning. And if we don't understand the complete meaning, how can we implement Gurbani in our lives?

But its not difficult to learn those building blocks and just to make things more easier, this "Gurbani Vocabulary" SMS series has been started.

Everyday get ONE* word from Gurbani with its meaning and example and sometimes synonyms.
Example:

OAT: support

HAR KA NAAM DAAS KI OAT
The Name of the Lord is the Support of His servants.

Synonyms of OAT: TEK, AADHAAR, AASRA


Every weekend, also get a recap of all the Gurbani Words sent in the past 6 days for better revision :)
Example:

Recap
REETA: lifestyle
KHIN: instant
UDHAARI: rescue
KOT: millions
PARHARAI: removes
NISTARE: find release
OAT: support
BALIHAARI: sacrifice


* Sometimes more than one word also
