[QUOTE="Taranjeet singh, post: 193404, member: 10049"] [ Even the Punjabi uses the word 'jap' in this passage which translates to "meditate, repeat" and not "chant" [B]Hi Sis[/B], I have gone through your post and thank you for sharing your interpretation. With your permission , that I presume would be graciously granted, I am tempted to write the meaning of 'Jap' as the translators have given. I have no doubt that you would be aware of the following. You may kindly refer to the ‘Angs’ that are give below. To make the post comprehensive and self contained, given below are the meanings assigned by Sant Singh Khalsa and Prof Sahib Singh ji in regard to 'Simran' and 'Dhayana' as well. [B]Simran/ Simar and Variants related [/B] Sant Singh khalasa........ Simran....... Page 749 Sahib Singh.............. Meditation.... Page 749 [B]Jap and its variants related [/B] Sant Singh Khalsa ...... Chant and meditate.... Page 761, 762, 775 Sahib Singh....... Jap... Page 761,762,775 Sant Singh Khalsa Chant Page 773 sahib singh Jap Page 773 [B]Dhayana and Variants related [/B] Sant Singh Khalsa ..... Meditate...... Page 760, 776 Sahib Singh......... Jap..... Page 760,776 Sant Singh Khalsa ..... Meditate..... Page 777 Sahib Singh..... Simran........ Page 777 The only idea was to to look at as to how the translators have used the various expressions and as to how Jap, simran and dhyana have an over lapping pattern in so far as their usage and meaning is concerned. The second idea was to emphasize that the word ‘waheguru’ has been used at various places in Sikh Rehat Maryada that is ancilriical document for all of us and sikhs and the Learned author have emphasized that the term ‘waheguru’ finds little place in Guru Granth and probably should not be used. He has almost discarded this term indirectly. Buit it is is very well accepted by all sikhs whether Khalsa or even sehajdharis. The term ‘waheguru’ has a customary meaning for Sikhs and is about 500 years old. It is well ingrained in all of us. Even if it does not find extensive usage in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, it is the customs and old traditions that would guide us to take 'waheguru, as the only term For Name of God/Creator. The term is of significance to all of us. The word ‘waheguru’ to Sikhs is like word ‘Allah’ to Muslims.Old customs and conventions cannot be disregarded. It is that principle that is used and employed while enacting various laws and statutes. You should forgive me if you find some inconvenience in reading the table that I could not properly present/draw. Let us give rest to discussion as I have to give a suitable reply to the article [given at Post no. 1 in the thread.] Please feel free to raise your doubts that would be properly attended to in due course in future.
