Is This True Or Made Up?

[guptveer1469]

There is a Shabad in Guru Granth Sahib that can make a dead person alive.

I was shocked to read this on a site...

It's not a shabad. It's a Raag.

That raag is Sri Raag, which is the first raag in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Wow!! really??

Is it this?

Raga Siri was favoured by the Hindus for religious occasions and is found in many of the old treatises. In the Ragmala listed as a parent raga, it currently is a member of the puroi thata. Still a popular concert raga today, it is considered one of the most famous from among the North Indian classical system. Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, and Guru Arjan composed to this raga. Traditionally performed at sunset, it is assigned to the rainy season as well as the months of November and December. Its mood is one of majesty combined with prayerful meditation. This raga is always referred to as "Siri Raga" rather than placing the term raga before the name. It accompanies about 142 shabads.

Sri raga is one of the parent ragas from which other ragas have been derived. The word Sri means supreme or exalted and as such this raga powerful. Bhai Gurdas calls it a supreme raga, supreme like the philosopher’s stone among other stones, because it has the power of converting baser metals into gold. The gurus gave it the first place. This raga is sung in the evening-a period of dusk and darkness. Man’s mind and his inner state as a mortal is one of darkness-caused by maya-and ignorance of his spiritual potentialities. So from darkness to light is the law of nature. In Sri raga, Guru Nanak has dealt with the existing ignorance and superstition and the neglect of spiritual values on account of man’s ego, greed and love of wordly pleasures:

“The foolish and greedy soul is attached to and lured by greed,

Being materialistic and evil-minded, the individual is not soaked in God’s Name and continues coming and going” [4]. Some writers state that this raga is associated either with extreme heat or extreme cold. In the hot season, we need water; in the cold season, we need warmth and fire. As such, the Guru has referred to man’s thirst for water and compared the soul to a fish’ and likened man’s passions to a dreadful fire” [5]. Basically the Gurus have pinpointed in this raga the longing of the individual soul for the Universal Soul.

Aroh : Sa Re M'a, Pa Ni Sa

Avroh : Sa Ni Dha, Pa M'a Ga Re Sa

Pakar : Sa, Re Re Pa, Pa M'a Ga Re, Re Re, Sa

Vadi : Re

Samvadi : Pa

You're not turning Gurbani into mystical magic formula mantras are you?

People talking about bringing things back to life after death - don't you know how bad that is. Guru Hargobind's son had to give his own life because he supposedly did that.

[THE WARRIOR]

True but most of us cant do diddlysquat, how many of us must systematically recite Bani and still remain spiritually dead. God,Guru and Bani is unquestionable what is questionable is our true motives and true intentions,

What part is devotion and what part is deception? How true are we to our inner most selves? How much do we value truth in its ultimate beautiful hideous reality ?
