what does "Sat Sri Akal" maen?

someone told me that it means "The Great 7 Heavens".

but we, Sikhs, dont believe in 7 heavens right?

i heard that Jews, Christians, Muslims, (and some Hindus) believe in seven heavens.

but i though Sat Sri Akal meant "True God is True Heaven."

or somewhere around that...im sorry if i'm wrong.

please fill me up on this.

i have no clue. :lol:

peace...

The truth is immortal = Sat Sri Akal

[Singh132]

Sat= True like sach. Or like Sat Naam.

Sri= exalted. Very special and very high.

Akaal= timeless. Kaal means time, putting "a" in front means without. like Joonee means life form but "ajoonee" means the opposite. So Akaal means vahiguru, the immortal (timeless) one.

Put it all together it means True is the Exalted Timeless One.

Thank you very much for explaining that so definitively, Singh123 ji! I've never seen that wonderful little phrase laid out so well. :lol:

many punjabis say SAS RI KAAL, which means my mother-in-law is death.

which may be true, in some cases :lol:

SAS= mother-in-law in punjabi

KAAL = death, darkness

so let's make sure we say SAT SRI Akaal.

Another thing that annoys me regarding this is when people pronounce it as :

sat SIRI akal

Anybody know the meaning of 'siri'?

Is this down to laziness or lack of ability to pronounciate Punjabi correctly?

[Guest SScom]

yeh i second that

its more sri ... pronounced sree not siree... notice the "pairee raaraa" on the papa and no sihari...

sirh = head so sirhi would mean something along the lines of "upon head"...
