Gurmat words which are must to teach to kids and can be illustrated?

Posted by Harmeet Singh

We are thinking of making flashcards of extremely important Gurmat words which are very important for a kid to know and eventually spell it right. Also the requirement is that they could be illustrated so that we can make it attractive for the kids. We are planning to have a 1 liner meaning of the word as well on the flashcard so that they understand the concept.

We have selected a few of the words but I would like to get the thinking of sangat on whether we have missed any word which you think is important and then we can prioritize as we want 40 words for a flashcard game. Also as the spellings will be correct grammatically (e.g. sihaari in ardaas and sangat), kids might learn little bit of grammer out of curiosity smiling smiley The full list which we were brainstorming is [sdrv.ms], however the below words are in preferred list... please do share your views. Also if you know a 1 liner meaning of any word, please write it as collective effort is always the best.

ਅਰਦਾਸਿ = ਅਰਜ਼ + ਦਾਸ (ਦਾਸ ਦੀ ਬੇਨਤੀ)
ਸੰਗਤਿ = ਸੰ + ਗਤਿ
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ = ਅ + ਮ੍ਰਿਤ (ਜੋ ਮਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਵਾਏ)
ਗੁਰੂਦਵਾਰਾ = ਗੁਰੂ + ਦਵਾਰਾ (Guru wal jaan wala darwaja)
ਕੰਘਾ
ਕਛਹਿਰਾ
ਕਿਰਪਾਨ = ਕਿਰਪਾ + ਆਨ (ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ ਦੀ ਰਖਿਆ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ)
ਕੇਸਕੀ/ਦਸਤਾਰ
ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰੇ
ਪੰਗਤ
ਰੁਮਾਲਾ

Veer Harmeet Singh Jeeo, the effort you and your team is putting is Highly Appreciated.

The most important of all, the NAAM is missing in the list. I see that Veer Harshwinder Singh Jee had came up with this in brainstorming session (row # 56 in the .xls).

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

Veerji,

Naam was the first thing in mind but couldn't understand how to illustrate it smiling smiley If you can guide, that would be the first choice.

Veer Jeeo, Naam is Waheguru and Waheguru is Naam. How can we define Waheguru and Naam in one line smiling smiley
At the most we can say is : Naam - We get from Punj Pyare in Amrit Sanchar.

Bhul Chuk Maaf.

Another Benti:
I'm not entirely sure about including 'dozakh/dozak' in flashcards for kids. But it's simply my humble opinion. May be you have a better reason for having it included in the collection. Also, why isn't 'Kara' and many other simpler words, that can also be depicted easily, included in the preferred list? Is there a specific reason for that? Are they targeted towards a certain age-group or Punjabi understanding capability?

Thanks bhenji/veerji, few words will be removed (e.g. Dojak, Manmukh as the illustration of those will not be good for kids 6-10 years).

We also had some discussions with Gursikhs here and we are thinking that we can illustrate Naam by showing 5 piare (only bodies, not faces) having hand on head of a Abhilaakhi and below in the description we can write "It can be given by 5 piare during Amrit Sanchar and is the only source to meet Waheguroo" or "It can be given by 5 piare during Amrit Sanchar and is the only source to take us out of process of birth & death".

Also thinking of adding Hazooria. Any other word which comes to your mind, please share.

The following list is courtesy Bhai Kulbir Singh ji, from a shabad kosh designed for santhiya students. These are all considered important for gursikhs to have memorised to enhance their understanding of gurbani.
