WaheguroojikaKhalsaWaheguroojikIFateh!! 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 wriby Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

WaheguroojikaKhalsaWaheguroojikiFateh!! Are you talking about windows phone 8? Ravneet Singh Khalsa veerji helped me make a Windows Phone app called Gurbani Searcher which is similar to Sundar Gutka app and it has larivaar option as well. For windows 8 on PC, the apps should work as it is. I will work on uploading the Gurbani Searcher app to the Windows 8 store as well.by Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

WaheguroojikaKhalsaWaheguroojikiFateh!! 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.

We are planning to have a 1 liner meaning of the word as well on the flashcard so that they understand theby Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thanks a lot Kulbir Singh Veerjio for the detailed explanation. I do understand the prasaad with sihari but grammatically how will we know ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦੁ means kirpa and ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦ means food? Both are nouns except the one with aunkad will be feminine noun I believe.by Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Are they both correct words? Does one mean food and another mean kirpa or both mean the same?by Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I am thinking about a game for the kids to improve vocabulary & spellings and for that I am looking for only Gurmat words which can be depicted by image or a small question. e.g. 1. Question: Image of Kirpan, Answer: Kirpan 2.

Thanks for the detailed information Sukhdeep Singh veerji. I did read about Diwali in Panth Prakash but never heard about Bandi Chod there... so was kind of confused. Yes, having sangat during these festival season is a great way to avoid people getting indulged in other religions festival as Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh started Dushera samagam.by Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
WaheguroojikaKhalsaWaheguroojikiFateh!! Does the Bandi Chod divas originally happened on Diwali day or the Sikhs have made it an excuse to Celebrate Diwali? Most Sikhs won't remember the Parkaash purab of Guru Hargobind Ji who freed 52 kings but they eagerly wait for Bandi chod. I believe it is intentionally used as an excuse to celebrate Diwali.

Thanks, I agree that there are too many mistakes in Panth Prakash and other such historic texts as in one paragraph it mentioned Babaji having Sukha etc. I was referring to Baba Gurbaksh Singh ji who defended Amritsar sahib (I believe he was the head of one of the Misl). There are couple of stories around Bhai Bijla Singh who was the best spy of his Jatha and used to find all the information oby Harmeet Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
