Meaning

My mind longs for the vision of the Guru’s Darshan.
It cries out like the thirsty songbird for the nectar of your name.
My thirst is not quenched, and I can not find peace.
Until I receive the Darshan the beloved saint.
I give myself, and my soul.
for your Darshan, my beloved Guru!

Your face is so beautiful, and the sound of your words (shabd) is so filled with inner wisdom.
It has been too long since this rainbird has had even a glimpse of water.
Blessed is the land, where you live, my friend and loved one,
my Divine teacher.
I give myself, and my soul, to my beloved, my Divine Guru

An instant away from you brings darkness
When will I meet You, my beloved Waheguru?
I can’t endure this night, sleep eludes me too
Until I see your home, my beloved Guru!
I give myself, and my soul to your true home, my beloved Guru!

By good fortune, I met my Saint Guru
and I have found that the immortal creator is within the home my own self
and so I will always serve you and never be separated from you even for an instant.
Guru Nanak says- I’m your slave, my beloved Teacher.
I give myself and my soul. Servant Nanak lives to serve you.

Written by Bhatt Nalh, this Shabad brings security and alleviates fears. Meditate on this Shabad or recite it 11 times a day to experience its effects.

Raag Svaiyay – Bhatt Nalh – Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji – Ang 1400

Svaiyay Mahalaa Chhota

Samarath guroo sir hath dhari-a-o.

Gur keenee kirpaa harinaam dee-ao,

Jis daykh charan aghan hara-o.

Nis baasur ayk samaan dhi-aan,

So naam sunay sut bhaan dara-o.

Bhan daas so aas jagatr guroo kee,

Paaras bhayt paras kara-o.

Raam Daas guroo har sat keeya-o,

Samarath guroo sir hath dhara-o.

Svaiyay, Fourth Mehla:

The All-Powerful Guru has placed His Hand upon my head.

The Guru has bestowed His Mercy and blessed me with the Lord’s Name.

Seeing the Lord’s Lotus Feet, my sins are washed away.

Night and day He meditates on the One Lord alone,

Hearing His Name, Yama (Death), the son of the sun, is scared.

Says the Guru’s slave, hope lies in the Guru of the world, Guru Amar Das;

He united Ram Das with the philosopher’s stone,

And so made Him to become the philosopher’s stone.

By God’s Grace, Ram Das is acclaimed as the True Guru;

The Hand of the All-Powerful Guru was placed upon His Head.

  Chattra Chakkra Vartee

 These are the last four lines of Guru Gobind Singh's powerful prayer, Jaap Sahib. Chattra Chakkra Vartee removes fear, anxiety, depression, insecurity and phobias. It instills courage, fearlessness and brings victory. It gives self-command and self-grace. 

Chattra chakkra vartee, chattra chakkra bhugatay

Suyumbhav subhang sarab daa sarab jugtay

Dukaalang pranaasee dayaalang saroopay

Sadaa ung sungay abhangang bibhootay

Thou art pervading in all the four directions,

the Enjoyer in all the four directions.

Thou art self -illumined and united with all.

Destroyer of bad times, embodiment of mercy.

Thou art ever within us.

Thou are the everlasting giver of undestroy-able power.

Pooran Jot

pooran jot jagai ghaṯ mai tab khaalas taah(i) nakhaalas jaanai.

pooran praym prateet sajai brat gor maṟee mat bhool na maanai.

One who embodies the consciousness of Khālsā, a living state of purity, has the divine light of the One shining forth from the heart in complete magnificence and radiance. It can be felt and perceived when it is there, and when it is not.

That one meditates in a wakeful state on the Ever-radiant Light, day and night, and doesn’t let even a little bit of something else to come into the mind.

That one decorates herself/himself with the love and faith in the completely filling Light of the One, and does not go astray with empty religious rituals, observances in graves, or sitting in isolated meditation huts.

That one knows none except the one Lord in the performance of acts of pilgrimage, charities, compassion, austerities and self-control.

Ra Man Shabad

This shabad brings wisdom, trust,  and Divinity self-illumined.

Ray man eh bidh jog kamao
Singhee saach akapat kanthala
Dhiaan bibhoot charhaao
Taatee gaho aatam bas kar kee
Bichaa naam adhaarang
Baaje param taar tat har ko
Upajay raag rasaarang
Ughatay taan tarang rang atay giaan geet bandhaanang
Chak chak rahay dayv daanav mun
Chhak chaak biyom bivaanang
Aatam upadays bhays sanjam ko
Jaap so ajapa jaapay
Sada rahay kanchan si kaya

Oh, my mind practice Yoga in this way:

Let Truth be your horn, sincerity your necklace, and meditation the ashes you apply on your body.

Catch your burning soul (self) and stop the flames. Let the soul (self) be the alms bowl in which you collect the sweet Naam and this will be the only support you will ever need.

The Universe plays its divine music. The sound of reality is shrill, but this is where God is.

When you listen to the reality from this place of awareness the sweet essence of Raag arises.

Waves of melodies, emotions, and passions arise and flow through you. Bind yourself with the song of God.

The Universe spins like a potter’s wheel and from it fly demons and angels. The sage listens to this and instead of getting caught in either one, the sage drinks in the nectar of the heavens and is carried to the heavens in a divine chariot.

Instruct and clothe yourself with self control. Meditate unto infinity until you are meditating without meditating.

In this way, your body shall remain forever golden, and death shall never approach you.
