Re: Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Re: Karma or is GOD testing us?
WJKK WJKF The word ਪਰਖ means to test, examine or assess the purity or genuineness. ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਆਪਣੀ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਪਰਖੇ ॥ [p318 SGGS] So in this context the translation of the line is as follows: ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਉਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਿਹਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ। Those whom God has granted H...

Re: Name for our son
WJJK WJKF Roshan is just a variation in spelling of Raushan and yes it is a Sikh name. No, it is not in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. In my opinion Roshan is a better spelling. One could say that with a name like Roshan, your son will illuminate the world with the brightness of Gursikhi and his virtuous de...
