I’ve had someone tell me that I should not read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji if I can not read it properly, as it was said that one of the Guru’s stated one should not do something if they can not do it properly. My friend quoted the story of Guru Gobind’s son when he told him to print something when he disowned his son, (by the way if anyone has any links to the correct story please let me know, because I’m sure he recited the story wrong.)
There is a number of questions that I would like to know on how to read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Firstly is there any rules on how the verses should be read, because I have heard many people read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in different styles and notes ie high and low pitch variations.
Secondly, I wanted to know what is the correct procedure when one opens the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to read it. Furthermore, how does this contrast to online versions which you can download? As one cannot open the online Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji at a random page. Should one also wash before reading the online version? Is it right or wrong to have an online version?
Please help me one this, thanks.
