Hi Js82, I have noticed you asking for admin intervention in an edit summary. But it doesn't work that way. You need to first engage the other editor in a talk page discussion to talk about the issues. If it appears that there is an irreconcilable dispute then other editors or admins may get invoved.

I appreciate and admire your contribution. You advise non - Sikhs to read the Guru Granth Sahib. How will it be possible for me to read it when the Sikhs themselves are not allowed even to touch the Granth in the Gurudwaras, and I am a non-Sikh. Plus, I am not conversant with the Gurumukhi script of the Granth. Where can I buy the Guru Granth Sahib in English?

 * , Sikhs (or anyone) is allowed to go read the Guru Granth Sahib in Gurudwaras. You just have to follow the "protocol". Anyway, the entire translation is available at many places online. Here is one:


 * http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1&g=1&h=1&r=1&t=1&p=0&k=0&fb=0


 * You can also listen to the Gurbani from the Guru Granth Sahib (many videos available on youtube with translations):


 * Here for example are two links with translations of two of the daily prayers (the first prayer forms the beginning of the Guru Granth Sahib), and some other links.

 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6y_A7j4M3Q


 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sB-G5LQGII


 * And you will not be able to "buy" a copy at some place. The Sikhs treat the scripture as a "living Guru", so not for sale. But I am sure you can get booklets (also called Gutkas) of smaller prayers (like Japji Sahib, etc) from a local Gurudwara if you want.

Thank you. Incidentally, you being an authority on Sikhism, can you give me reasons why the Granth is never to be found in Sikh homesteads? I know a lot many Sikhs (the Sahajdharis) who could not provide me with a satisfactory answer.
