Chant Of "satnaam Waheguru"


Recommended Posts

In Sri Sukhmani Sahib we read that "dehi meh is ka bisraaam" ie the Naam is present inside the body of every human being. When we are given the amrit-water by Guroo roop Punj, this naam within our body GETS ACTIVATED. Before this, this naam was kind of locked.

After being blessed with amrit-water, we are then blessed with the gurmantar and the proper gurmat way of reciting gurmantar(gurmantar-drirhh).

Both gur-bani and gur-mantar are very powerful forms of Naam. Gur-mantar is the most powerful mantar EVER.

By doing abhiyaas of gur-bani and gur-mantarr, we keep on washing our sins and keep on increasing the naam- khazana thats present inside our dehi(body) and one day become the very roop of naami i e. Akal purakh.

In my limited understanding, Gurmantar means that mantar given by Guru Ji to his Sikh. Khande Batte Da Amrit is the formal initiation of a person to become a Sikh of Guru Sahib. Before this, we are 'nigurey', after giving our heads at Amrit Sanchar we become 'Guru waley'. At this time, Guru Ji gives his Sikhs the highest of all mantars - that which will lead to mukti - Gurmantar. It isn't cheap - we pay for it with our heads!

In effect, until we take Amrit, we don't have a guru. (This is not exclusive to Sikhi - every guru-disciple relationship, in any Dharm, begins with initiation.)

I honestly feel that Pahul is very much different than other forms of initiation. Amritdhari Khalsa is more than just a disciple. He is Guru Roop Khalsa. Khalsa is not looking for mukti only, he will root out tyranny and make world a better place and give mukti to others through Guru Naam. Khalsa is representative of parbrahm on earth. Cosmic energy flows through Khalsa, it enters him through Khande da amrit. Khalsa is not accountable for his actions. Even Yamraj bows before him. However i am not sure if such a Khalsa exists nowdays.

I don't mean to be dismissive..but really I dont see the point of arguing or debating about this....maybe i am such a moorakh that i don't understand...Baba Jagjit Singh Ji Harkwaleh tells the sangat to say satnam sri waheguru...how can that be wrong....how can i complain about gursikhs with such high avastha who tell sangat to repeat satnam sri waheguru.....

just thought....the amount of naam i actually could have japped instead of reading and responding this thread..........(kicks herself)

the word waheguru is the praise of the guru. the wonderful guru because he connects you to GOD.

EKONKAAR SATNAAM, the first words guru nanak dev ji uttered, that there is only 1 GOD and truth is his name.

infact, once you progress in spirituality, you find that silence is greater than any other word.

In reality, GOD doesnt have a name. In physical part, guru ji told us to remmeber him by the name of SATNAAM, because he is the only truth and eternal, rest is all temperory and will eventually perish.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
