Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Bharatha Pradakshina Today: Punjab/Haryana Sri GuruNanak Dev’s Japji Sahib, which appears at start of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ek Onkar | Sat naam – One Universal Creator | The Name is truth [Hymn 4] True Master, True is His Name - Meditate it with deep love. They(men) ask and beg,(God) " Give, give " - The Giver gives in abundance. What can we place before Him, by which the Darbaar can be seen? What words can we utter, listening to which His Love is gained? In the Ambrosial period, dwell upon His True Name and praises. With good past karmas(actions), this robe is obtained, By His Grace, the Gate of Liberation is found. O Nanak, know this well: Everything is in the Righteous Lord! [Hymn 19] Countless names, countless places, Countless realms remote. Even to speak the word " countless " Is really just a joke. In primal sounds are Nam and praise. In primal sounds are knowledge and song. In primal sounds are words spoken and written. In primal sounds is your destiny written. The One who writes is beyond all that. As God commands, so people get. As great as Creation, so great is Nam. Without it nothing could ever be done. How can I speak or reflect on this power? I cannot be a sacrifice even one time. I want to do only what pleases Thee. Formless... Peaceful... Divine... || 19 || [Hymn 32] From one tongue there came thousands more, And millions came from them. Millions of tongues are turning and churning, Repeating the One Lord's Name. On the Master's Path are many steps. Climb them, and come back Home. Even worms who hear of heavenly things Are longing to come back Home. O Nanak! We get to come back Home Only by the One God's Grace. But the liars all boast, " I did it myself! " || 32 || Source: Wiki. Sri Granth is a world in itself like any other Saint’s scripture that we have been seeing, and devotees are requested to use the online resources for more… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
