Mool mantar

The Mool Mantar (also spelt Mul Mantra) is the most important composition contained within the Sri Guru Granth Sahib; it is the basis of Sikhism. The word Mool means main , root or chief and Mantar means magic chant or magic portion. Together the words Mool Mantar mean the Main chant or root verse. It’s importance is emphasised by the fact that it appears before the commencement of most of the Raags within the Sikh holy scripture.

Ik onkar - There is one God
Sat nam - The True name
Karta Poorakh - Creator of all
Nirbhau - He is without fear
Nirvair - He is without hate
Akal murat - He is omnipresent
Ajooni - He is beyond birth
Saibhang - He is self existent
Guparsad - He can be realised by the grace of the Guru

Today for the first time I read and tried to understand 20 pauris(Paragraphs) of Japji Sahib.
May God always be, with all.
