Introduction
Sunder
Gutka is a collection of Banis or hymns that form the core of a
complete Sikh Daily Prayer. These sacred hymns contain a power to
transform our lives completely by bringing an unmatched spiritual
elevation in even the most ordinary of minds. Gurbani or the
Divine Word contains the instructions and divine guidance revealed
directly by God through the Gurus and other pious saintly beings.
They show the righteous path of life and give direction to the
wandering souls in quest of finding the real meaning of life.
These hymns deliver a message which is of eternal relevance
irrespective of the caste, creed, religion, age or location of a
person
Unfortunately, the younger generation that
is unaware of the Gurmukhi script, the original language in which
the Gurbani has been recorded, finds this pool of knowledge
inaccessible. For them and all others who are better versed in
English, a humble effort has been made to bring to them this
elegant masterpiece from our Gurus in the form of a
transliteration in English. Every effort has been made to make the
pronunciations very simple and crystal clear and avoid every
possible mistake.
