ek onkar satnam kartapurakh

soche soch na ho wai

Fateh ji.

Kindly look in the following forum:
http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/japji-sahib/

You will find beautiful explanations by Amarpal ji, NamHari Kaur ji, japjisahib04 ji...

hopefully that will give you more information.

PS: There are a few mistakes in the first pauri you wrote, you may like to look at the correct words too.

Regards, Arvind.

Re: ek onkar- Translation >> Email This Topic To Your Friends

Monica ji,

Guru Fateh parvaan karo ji.

I am putting the links to relevant contents here:
http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/japji-...ji-pauris.html
http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/japji-...ru-granth.html

"Ek-onkar satnam.......................... hosie bhi sach" is called Mool mantar from where Guru Granth Sahib ji starts.
After that first pauri is there i.e. "Sochai soch naa hovayee...................nanak likhiya naal"

I will find some audio links for you so that you can download and listen to that.

Also to mention, harsimiritkaur ji is doing great job in coming up with phonetics for correct pronunciation... I could not find her work on this site regarding mool mantar and first pauri though.

If this does not help, let us know. will copy/paste the complete understanding here, instead of links.

Regards, Arvind.

Dear Manish Mahajan.


Welcome to this form!

I am providing one of the popular Translation of the Gubani you asked for . It is the First Bani /Opening part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib . I hope it helps

ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ

ੴ सति नामु करता पुरखु निरभउ निरवैरु अकाल मूरति अजूनी सैभं गुर प्रसादि ॥
ik-oNkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbha-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhaN gur parsaad.
One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace ~

ਜਪੁ
॥ जपु ॥
jap.
Chant And Meditate:

ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ
आदि सचु जुगादि सचु ॥
aad sach jugaad sach.
True In The Primal Beginning. True Throughout The Ages.

ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥
है भी सचु नानक होसी भी सचु ॥१॥
hai bhee sach naanak hosee bhee sach. ||1||
True Here And Now. O Nanak, Forever And Ever True. ||1||

ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ
सोचै सोचि न होवई जे सोची लख वार ॥
sochai soch na hova-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.
By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.

ਚੁਪੈ ਚੁਪ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ
चुपै चुप न होवई जे लाइ रहा लिव तार ॥
chupai chup na hova-ee jay laa-ay rahaa liv taar.
By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.

ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ
भुखिआ भुख न उतरी जे बंना पुरीआ भार ॥
bhukhi-aa bhukh na utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar.
The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.

ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਇਕ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ
सहस सिआणपा लख होहि त इक न चलै नालि ॥
sahas si-aanpaa lakh hohi ta ik na chalai naal.
Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end.

ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ
किव सचिआरा होईऐ किव कूड़ै तुटै पालि ॥
kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal.
So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away?

ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
हुकमि रजाई चलणा नानक लिखिआ नालि ॥१॥
hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal. ||1||
O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||





Jatinder Singh

Re: ek onkar- Translation >> Email This Topic To Your Friends

Here is a translation from Sant Teja Singh

IK OngKaar
There is but One all embracing and all-powerful Divinity, Who manifests Himself first in the shape of the sacred word(OngKaar), and then through the whole created Universe. He is the One-in-All and the All-in-One. He is the Eternal Reality.

SatNaam
Eternal and True is his name (Satnaam)

Karta
He is the Creator, and has the power of independent self-creation. He permeates the whole creation.

Purakh
He is the only male element in the Universe and all else is female.

NirBhau
He is above all fear

NirVair
free from all thoughts of enmity.

Akaal Moorat Ajoonee Saibhang
He is immortal, free from birth and rebirth, and can be realized in every created thing. He is self-existent.
The whole universe is dependent for its existence on Him but he is self-existent; the Generator of all, without any one to generate Him.

Gur Prasaad
He can be realized through the grace of the Guru: - The Teacher who is God conscious, and sees Him both within and without.

you can download the whole book of translation at http://www.westernssa.com/resources/...ja%20SIngh.pdf
Index of /resources/docs
I find this translation although not explained line by line or word by word is more accurate.



The whole meaning of Mool mantra is really very deep. If you do understand punjabi audio. I suggest you listen to this
japji katha by Giani Thakur Singh here

G U R M A T V E E C H A R . C O M - Giani Thakur Singh Ji (Damdami Taksal wale) Katha

In it Guru Ji explains to the siddhas why was the need for this, when we already had other mantras like om (ong,aum)

In short, we have a really priceless gift given to us, and it is superiour to everything .... try reciting
IK OongKaaar SatGur Prasaad for a while and you will feel.
OngKaar is the very form of God.

May Guru Ji bless you
