Dear all!

The reverend Gurus sing often Naaraa-in and the praise of Naaraa-in.

Strange, most of your Baabaas and preachers have turned away their face from the true Guru and are not singing Naaraa-in.
Some may want to hear, what they are singing?

Dear all and Namjap Jee!

Thanks for the links.

In the referred Hymn Gurdev is singing further. Please listen.
ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਨਰਾਇਣ ॥
नाराइण साधसंगि नराइण ॥
Naaraa-in saadhsangi naraa-in.
Naaraa-in is in the company of the Saadh Naraa-in.

ਬਾਰੰ ਬਾਰ ਨਰਾਇਣ ਗਾਇਣ ॥
बारं बार नराइण गाइण ॥
Baarambaar naraa-in gaa-in.
Repeatedly sing Naraa-in.

Actually I wanted to know if someone has found a true Sikh singing Baarambaar (repeatedly) Naaraa-in.

Apologies.

ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਕਹਤੇ ਨਰਕਿ ਨ ਜਾਹਿ ॥
naaraaein kehathae narak n jaahi ||
Chanting the Lord's Name, one does not fall into hell.

Naturally the confusion mounts on the thread when searching for a translation that is more plausibly linked to the shabad and transliterations confuse us. At some point Veer Ekmusafir will add his expertise to this discussion. Until then ... the translation given for "chanting naaraa-in (alternate transliteration narayan) one does not go to hell" is off base. "

Naaraaein not naaraa - in

Quote "what is Naraa-in?"

Guru Arjan Dev Jee is clearing it singing. Please ponder.

what is Naraa-in?

Depending on context, naraaein means of The Lord, of The Lord's Name, of The Infinite Lord.

example: charan kamal saranaae naraaein || I seek the Sanctuary of the Lotus Feet of the Lord.
exampe:
maerae man har bhaj naam naraaein || O my mind, vibrate and meditate on the Lord and the Name of the Lord.

(Sahib Singh Sant Singh, MD translations)
There is no Naraa-in -- it is not. The root 'nar" is from the Sanskrit "the Omnipotent One." Nara, that which animates every thing, the spirit of God. (Wilson's Sanskrit Dictionary) The word "nar" also is found in Persian of the Gurus' time having the same meaning.

ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਕਹਤੇ ਨਰਕਿ ਨ ਜਾਹਿ ॥
नाराइण कहते नरकि न जाहि ॥
Naaraa-in kahate naraki na jaahi. SGGS Ang 868-1

ਨਾਰਾਇਣ = One that dwells in all beings (Parmatma, God, Waheguru)

Reciting the one that dwells in all beings( Waheguru, Ram etc), one does not enter into hell / fall into hell.

ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਨੀਰਿ ਨਰਾਇਣ ॥
नामु निरंजनु नीरि नराइण ॥
Naamu Niranjanu neeri naraa-iRn.

ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ = to keep away from the effects of Maya , to dispell the effects of Maya

ਨੀਰਿ = water but here it used for and activity, means to irrigate, to immerse, to be totally absorbed , to be imbued. Like water in the field gets imbued/saturated into the ground

Naam is such that it dispells the effects of Maya when it is recited fully imbued.

ਰਸਨਾ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਪਾਪ ਬਿਲਾਇਣ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
रसना सिमरत पाप बिलाइण ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Rasnaa simrat paap bilaa-iRn. ||1|| rahā*o. SGGS Ang 867

ਰਸਨਾ = wth the tounge, vocally
ਸਿਮਰਤ = to recite

ਪਾਪ = evil deeds
ਬਿਲਾਇਣ = gets washed away

By reciting it with your tongue, it washes away all your evil deeds.

What is this concept of "hell"?

What has "hell" got to do with Sikhism?

Is "hell" a physical place?

Lets start with these questions and ask some more later.

Rasna stands for tongue in the Shabad Namjap ji quoted, it takes this name because through it different kinds of tastes are fulfilled

pk70 ji,

amarsanghera probably did not recognize rasna because the more common translit is rasanaa

Cheers Happy to you by all measure. Dying to use that smiley.

i have another niggling question

What recognizes the "taste"?

rasanaa ?

or is it the "medium" ?


Rasanaa tu anras raach rahi......

there is a shabd

So rasanaa can "create" bitter/unsavoury things ?

Can Tongue "Create"

Amarsanhgera ji,
I am trying to answer your good questions as per my limited ability.
Quote “

rasanaa ?

or is it the "medium" ?”

Every organ of the body is medium loaded with components that work for orders of brains. When those components are damaged, out put of the organs goes cripple. Same thing happens to tongue, if its burnt, taste is lost.


Quote “Rasanaa tu anras raach rahi......

there is a shabd

So rasanaa can "create" bitter/unsavoury things ?
Can Tongue "Create"”

“RACH RAHI” does not mean it is creating, it means” it is busy in tasting” In Punjabi, in some contexts, “rach jana” means “involve in” or “ ghul mil jana”as in a Punjabi sentence “ oh da dil paise vich hee rachyaa hoyeea hai”
Tongue doesn’t create taste, it develops tastes, you can also use another word for it, tongue acclimatizes as per need.
I hope I have answered your question, if not, let me know please.
