In Sikhism, Gurbani, the word of Guru Granth Sahib, is central to every Sikh's life. Gurbani is the language only of Guru Granth Sahib and is neither written nor spoken elsewhere. Poetic in nature, Gurbani is written in the Gurmukhi script which resembles the Panjabi alphabet but differs from the Panjabi language. Every Sikh is required to study Gurbani in order to have an understanding of its meaning.
If you'd like to get started with Gurbani, improve your reading skills or develop a greater understanding, here are some ideas on ways to study Gurbani from home.

Was wondering if this is the script you were asking about in the email yesterday? It appears to be way above my head, but very interesting subject. I do agree, the words that you use to interpret it are very poetic and beautiful.
Knowing nothing about Gurbani, I went and listed a bit. It’s so moving and expressive.
This is absolutely fascinating stuff. It’s like a window into another world.
