Mool Mantra

The word ‘Ik’ in ‘Ik Onkar’ stands for ‘one’, while ‘on’ means ‘everything’ and ‘kar’ refers to the God who is the creator of everything. Put together, ‘Ik Onkar’ means there is only one creator who has created everything. The Sikh prayer, of which ‘Ik Onkar’ is a part of, is called the ‘Mool Mantra’.

God Created Everything

The Mool Mantra is the most important composition of the holy book of the Sikhs, ‘Guru Granth Sahib’. Ik Onkar is consistent with the Big Bang Theory in the fact that everything is One and God created everything. God gave ‘Akar’ (shape) to everything by making the sound ‘oann’ (On). Without God, there is nothing.

Gurbani

Upon enlightenment, Guru Nanak Dev first uttered the Mool Mantra. So, when one learns Gurbani (hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib), this is the first verse that the person is taught. All the concepts of Mool Mantra have been proven over many eras and are known to be flawless without any ambiguity.

Japji Sahib

In the opening paragraph of the “Japji Sahib” which is the Morning Prayer for the Sikhs. The rest of Japji Sahib is the elaboration of the Mool Mantra. It appears more than 100 times throughout the Guru Granth Sahib. Mool Mantra opens the gates for people who seek the truth within and them to the journey of introspection.

We Are All One

We are all a part of God, so we are all one. As god knows that everything is a part of oneself, we have nothing to fear and nothing to hate, just like we don’t fear or hate ourselves.

Divine Power

There is no power which matches God; there is no one like him. He is the only spiritual reality; he is the absolute truth. He is the divine power. He is the highest form of eternal bliss. He is unwavering throughout. He is the creator of everything, the entire universe. He is the entity through which everything originates.

Onkaar

God is the one who looks after everything that he created. This feeling of him being everything is captured in essence in the word ‘Onkaar’, and this is how God’s unique and immense, eternal existence can be described.

Karma

We live an enlightened life as a singular identity. Although we are alone, we should be happy to help other human beings. Doing so will give us positive karma.

Internal Peace

We should also not be fearful of anything unknown, including our own existence and lifespan. This can only be done by gaining awareness and knowledge and listening to the demands of our body. This, alone will give us real happiness and internal peace.

Sikh Faith

Mool Mantra is believed to be the killer of fate. When our fate is erased, we can live with our destiny. It encompasses the entire universally complex theology of the Sikh faith. It has all kinds of implications on human existence. It interprets the Supreme Power – God, in a truly humanitarian way so that everyone can understand and appreciate it.

ઓચિંતુ કોઇ મને રસ્તે મળે ને
કદી ધીરેથી પૂછે કે કેમ છે ?
આપણે તો કહીએ કે દરિયા શી મોજમાં
ને ઉપરથી કુદરતની રહેમ છે.

ऐ वतन..
मेरे वतन..
ऐ वतन..
आबाद रहे तू आबाद रहे तू..
आबाद रहे तू ऐ वतन, वतन मेरे,
आबाद रहे तू ऐ वतन, वतन मेरे,
आबाद रहे तू ऐ वतन, वतन मेरे,
आबाद रहे तू मैं

जहाँ रहूँ जहाँ में याद रहे तू
मैं जहाँ रहूँ जहाँ में याद रहे तू
ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन
तू ही मेरी मंजिल है, पहचान तुझी से
तू ही मेरी मंजिल है, पहचान तुझी से
पहुंचू मैं जहां भी मेरी बुनियाद रहे तू
पहुंचू मैं जहां भी मेरी बुनियाद रहे तू

ऐ वतन, वतन मेरे, आबाद रहे तू
मैं जहाँ रहूँ जहाँ में याद रहे तू
ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन..ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन आ.. आ..
तुझपे कोई गम की आंच आने नहीं दूं
तुझपे कोई गम की आंच आने नहीं दूं
कुर्बान मेरी जान तुझपे शाद रहे तू
कुर्बान मेरी जान तुझपे शाद रहे तू
ऐ वतन, वतन मेरे, आबाद रहे तू
मैं जहाँ रहूँ जहाँ में याद रहे तू

ऐ वतन.. ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन.. मेरे वतन.. आबाद रहे तू.. आबाद रहे तू.. ऐ वतन.. मेरे वतन.. आबाद रहे तू..

Aitareya- Upanishad says in a verse, “Honeybees move constantly to give honey, birds keep moving (flying) and the sun is perpetually emitting light. (So,) CHARAIVETI, CHARAIVETI (Keep Moving, Keep moving).”

Being a part of the universe our true nature is to Keep Moving to serve the universe. If we cannot do much, we can at least follow those who are moving selflessly to serve the universe. Our universe could be the planet earth, our country or our neighbourhood.

चरैवेति चरैवेति यही तो मन्त्र है अपना
नहीं रुकना नहीं थकना सतत् चलना सतत् चलना
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना शुभंकर मन्त्र है अपना

हमारी प्रेरणा भास्कर है जिनका रथ सतत् चलता
युगों से कार्यरत है जो सनातन है प्रबल उर्जा
गति मेरा धरम है जो भ्रमण करना भ्रमण करना
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना शुभंकर मन्त्र है अपना…

हमारी प्रेरणा माधव हैं जिनके मार्ग पर चलना
सभी हिन्दू सहोदर है ये जन जन को सभी कहना
स्मरण उनका करेंगे और समय दे अधिक जीवन का
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना शुभंकर मन्त्र है अपना…

हमारी प्रेरणा भारत है भूमि की करें पूजा
सुजला सुफ़ला सदा स्नेहा यही तो रूप है उसका
जियें माता के कारण हम करें जीवन सफ़ल अपना
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना शुभंकर मन्त्र है अपना…

यही तो मन्त्र है अपना…
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना…
यही तो मन्त्र है अपना…

Meaning:
Keep going, keep going this is our mantra. Never stopping and never tiring, we keep steadfastly moving forward.

Our inspiration is the sun, whose chariot moves steadfastly. It has been duty-bound through the ages, yet it has an everlasting intense energy. Movement is my Dharma, going from place to place.

Our inspiration is Shri Guruji, on whose path we are to tread. All Hindus are brothers – we have to tell this to the world. We should remember the great deeds of Shri Guruji and give more time to his mission

Our inspiration is the Bharat, the land we worship. It is the source of many good things and a constant source of love. We should make our life worthwhile by living for this mother of ours.

Ankhon mein bharte hain sooraj
Dhoop ko woh peete hain
Hai aag jinke lahoo mein
Aasman voh chhute hain

Bhar ke taare hazaaron muthi mein
Honge jugnoo se roshan kisi dil mein

Ho sake kisi ke vaaste
Chalo jeete hain
Ho sake kisi ke vaaste
Chalo jeete hain

Chalo jeete hain
Chalo jeete hain

Tu hai samundar
Tu hai kinara
Bahein phaila ke
Tu de de sahara

Kass ke pakad le
Hath uska
Jisne bhi tujhko
Hai dil se pukara

Baatoge jitna
Badhega ye utna
Hai prem ka ye
Ganit nyara

Dekho zara sar utha kar
Dil udhde udhde hain
Hai saans ki dor jab tak
Enn dilon ko seete hain

Bhar ke taare hazaaron muthi mein
Honge jugnoo se roshan kisi dil mein

Ho sake kisi ke vaaste
Chalo jeete hain

Chalo jeete hain
Chalo jeete hain

“To live content with small means;

to seek elegance rather than luxury,

and refinement rather than fashion;

to be worthy, not respectable,

and wealthy, not, rich;

to listen to stars and birds,

babes and sages, with open heart;

to study hard;

to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently,

await occasions, hurry never;

in a word, to let the spiritual,

unbidden and unconscious,

grow up through the common

– this is my symphony”

~William Ellery Channing (via Susan Cain)

ये दिन हरदिन पूछे है मुझसे,

कौन हूँ में ? क्या है क्षमता मेरी ?

करती क्या हूँ ?

क्या पहचान है मेरी ?

पलक न जबके, न झुके मेरा सर

रोज़ जवाब देती हूँ मैं

उगते हुए दिन से

रोज़ आँख मिलाती हूँ

किसकी मिटटी है मेरे कणकण में

उस माँ की आभारी हूँ में

सिर्फ रोटी बनाती नहीं

खुद की रोटी कमाती हूँ में

एक नहीं – दस लाख हूँ में

सारे रंग है रगो में मेरे

मानते है तो सिर्फ लाल को

खून बहा है ये लाल मेरा

रोज परखते थे उसकी सच्चाई को

रंगमंच की कठपुतली थी में

आज इन रंगो की रानी हूं में

एक नहीं – दस लाख हूँ में

अन्धविश्वास की सीमा लाँघ

विज्ञान के साथ चल रही हूँ में

इस धागे से बुनूँगी सृष्टि को

सूई की तेज़ नोक हूँ में

अपने कलसे जो सीखा है मेने

अपने कलको सौपुंगी में

कमज़ोर और निर्भर ना होना

निडर और निर्भय तू है

बड़ो का सम्मान हो जिस घर में

ऐसी संस्कृति की नीव हूँ में

रेशम से भी मुलायम हूँ जो

वो स्नेहभरा आशीर्वाद हूँ में

मासूम है अब तक रूह उसकी

जो मासी को अपनी माँ समजे

मासूम है अब तक रूह उसकी  भी

जो नन्हे को ये समज़ने दे

मासूम है वो काले बादल

जो पृथ्वी को देख गरजते है

बूंदे बरसने पर जो नाचे

वो मासूम मदहोश मोर हूँ में

भीगी बिल्ली समज़नेवाले

कई सारे है इस महफ़िल में

पंजा मारते देर नहीं लगती

गीर की शेरनी हूँ में

ये कला है मुझ में सदियों से

नई दिशा दी इसे ‘SEWA’ ने

मेरी कला आप सब तक पहुंचे

ये सेवा की है ‘SEWA’ ने

ये कला ही है विरासत मेरी

ये कला ही है मेरा व्यापार

इस कला से ही है अभिज्ञान मेरा

इस कला पर है मुझे अभिमान

तक़दीर की लकीरों को खुद खींचनेवाली

वो आज़ाद स्वतंत्र नारी हूँ में

एक नहीं – दस लाख हूँ में
