Talk:Sat Sri Akaal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] "Sat sri akaal" vs. "Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh"

I do not particularly understand why some Sikhs prefer the greeting "Sat sri akaal" when others prefer the greeting "Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh". As I understand it, the second is the more traditional greeting associated with amritdhari Sikhs (ie those in the Khalsa), but that many Sikhs are uncomfortable about using it. Could someone with more knowledge of this mater please include it in the article as I believe it is important. --Lesouris 03:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Sat Sri Akaal is not a blessing it means literally The Lord Is forever True, the lord in the line refers to Waheguru or in english God, Akaal means forever not darkness. Sri means like holy or sir or the lord in a sence that is why Sikhs (we for my people) say Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji...The Lord Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Also Sat means True so to go on....True The Lord Forever..for it to sound the same way in English as Punjabi its "The Lord Is Forever True"

Sat Sri Akaal=The Lord is Forever True

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh means Gods Pure One, Victory to God...its is a way of addressing one of the Khalsa (the Pure, ones who have taken amrit or babtised in a sence for english speakers).

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh is what you say to address on of the Khalsa, you use Sat Sri Akaal to Others, but it is much easier to say Sat Sri Akaal in common conversation when you greet someone then Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh. But For someone to come up to you and say Waheguru Je Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh is a compliment in a sence because the person who says it to you is literally saying you are a pure one of God.

[edit] Pronunciation

Could we possibly get a guide to pronunciation, such as an IPA representation? Obonicus 20:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I can't find it there. I'm removing the PROD. I think we should keep it anyway -- perhaps merged into a list of Sikh phrases or greetings, but not deleted. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
