Manjeet Singh is a researcher of Guru Granth Sahib committed to sharing globally the timeless Truth contained in the Scripture. A well-educated son of devout Sikh parents, he remained involved in business and consultancy for twenty-five years until a near-death experience led him on a spiritual path a decade ago.
Guru Granth Sahib is the Divine Revelation, which, when learned by mankind, will transcend the quality of life and change the purpose of its being. For some valid reasons, it could not reach people at the grassroots. Foremost amongst these is the Gurmukhi script in which the scripture is written, which has its roots in Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions through the ancient Brahmi script. Gurmukhi also has adopted words from many other languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, and Urdu which makes it hard to learn. So, the script is not very popular. Further, because of a lack of overall efforts to interpret it contextually and holistically in prominent languages such as English, the wisdom of the scripture could not reach to people on an international scale and humankind is deprived of Eternal Truth.
Manjeet has taken the extension of his life as a heavenly order for him to spread the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib worldwide. This noble mission has been aided by his understanding of the formative hymns (Gurbani) of the Holy Book which he has been learning since his childhood in the Gurdwaras (Sikh’s place of learning). Notwithstanding that the translation has greatly contributed to the understanding of the scripture; the translated description is often inconclusive and cannot provide the holistic meaning of the written words.
Manjeet’s grasp of multiple languages including Gurmukhi, English, Sanskrit, Hindi, and Urdu has equipped him to understand the scripture in its all-inclusive context rather than the line-by-line translations. This has been supported by his dedication for the extensive research on the subject. To fulfil his mission, Manjeet is writing a book titled “The Revelation” which is a contemporary description of Guru Granth Sahib. With Guru’s blessing, he hopes to publish the book soon.
