Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the central religious text of Sikhism, considered by Sikhs to be the final, sovereign guru among the lineage of 11 Sikh Gurus of the religion. It is a voluminous text of 1430 Angs (pages), compiled and composed during the period of Sikh gurus from 1469 to 1708 and is a collection of hymns (Shabad) or Baani describing the qualities of God and the necessity for meditation on God's nam (holy name)
Everyone must cover their head and remove their shoes before reciting any bani from the Guru Granth Sahib Ji or while in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Sikhs treat the Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a living Guru and the respect shown for the Shabad or ‘Message of the Gurus’ is unique in the faith.
Please note that Gurbani in general is gender neutral when referring to God - So when translating into English, this gender-neutral stand has been impossible to maintain as the English language tends to be more gender-specific in this respect.
So the reader is asked to adjust for this in their mind when reading the translation! (God in Sikhism is gender neutral and is referred to in Gurbani as both male & female.)
大师初经济是锡克教的中心宗教经典,由锡克教徒认为是11宗教的锡克教大师的血统之间的决赛,主权大师。这是1430 Angs(页),在锡克教宗师期间编写了1469年至1708年一项浩繁的文字,是赞美诗(Shabad)或巴尼描述神的品质和上帝的南必要性冥想的集合(圣名)
每个人都必须支付他们的头和背诵宗师初经或吉,而在斯里兰卡宗师初经济存在任何巴尼前脱鞋。锡克教徒治疗师初经济作为一个生活大师,为Shabad或“大师们的信息'表现出的尊重是在信仰是独一无二的。
请注意,Gurbani一般是不分性别的指神的时候 - 所以翻译成英语的时候,这种性别中立的立场是不可能维持的英语往往是在这方面更具体的性别。
所以读者阅读要求翻译时,他们心目中要对此进行调节! (神锡克教是性别中立的,并在Gurbani被称为男性和女性。)
