Majh In Gauri Raag


Recommended Posts

Dear Sanggat Ji,

I came across a puzzle this morning and am so tempted to find out. I tried going through some kathas but none explain why this is so.

In page 217, in the Gauri raag section, there is a group of shabads by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, which starts with

Ga▫oṛī mėhlā 5 mājẖ.

Gauree, Fifth Mehl, Maajh:

ਆਉ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਰਾਮ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਜੀਉ

Ā▫o hamārai rām pi▫āre jī▫o.

Come to me, O my Beloved Lord.

and so on....

With the Guru guide, i have come across many shabads where two raags titles make up the title. For example this, Gauree and Maajh. I am so bad in raags that i dont understand, but how does a shabad have two raags? It is a Gauri raag shabad that can also be used with the Maajh raag?

Anyway, as i progress forward...on the next page

ਗਉੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ਮਾਂਝ

Ga▫oṛī mėhlā 5 māʼnjẖ.

Gauree, Fifth Mehl, Maajh:

ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜੀ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ

Ḏukẖ bẖanjan ṯerā nām jī ḏukẖ bẖanjan ṯerā nām.

The Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name, Lord; the Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name.

Both have the same header, but are placed in different sections. The only difference my understanding sees, is that the one on page 217 has no "tipee" on the maajh word. The header on page 218 has a "tipee" (majh and maanjh). However, the punjabi dictionary says both are the same. (

Also, in my "sanchia"s, under the maajh word on page 217, there is a () and under maajh onb page 218, there is a (). Why is there so?

What is puzzling me is that, why are they both in separate sections (when both are by the same Guru composer, same raags)? Why is there a "tipee" on page 218, and none on page 217?

This is quite trivial, but it is making me wonder and wonder. Please do assist me in understanding my Guru, as my own understanding is limited.

Thank you.

Warm regards,

the raag is gauri maajh. It is called a mishrat raag (a mix of two raags). its basically a completely different raag made of two other raags. The emotion created by a mishrat raag is very powerful during kirtan. There are also other mishrat raags in sri guru granth sahib ji like bilawal gond

not sure about the 'bindhi' though

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
