The Mūl Mantar (Punjabi: ਮੂਲ ਮੰਤਰ, IPA: [muːlᵊ mən̪t̪əɾᵊ]) is the first composition in the Sikh holy text, the Adi Granth, which would become the Guru Granth Sahib, written in Punjabi. It is a series of affirmations and is the basis of Sikh theology, as well as the fundamental prayer.[1] The Mul Mantar is the first composition of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The Guru Granth Sahib begins with the Mul Mantar and it occurs more than one hundred times throughout the text[2] where it is placed at the beginning of the particular Shabad, or hymn. In one of the Janamsakhis, the martyr Bhai Mani Singh explains that the reason for placing the Mul Mantar at the beginning of a Shabad is that a Gursikh, or full devotee of the Guru, is reminded that everything else will fade, and only the Satnam, the all-pervading supreme reality, will remain.[3]

Etymology[edit]

A Mantar or Mantra is 'an empowering formula for repetition,' and mūl holds the meaning of 'root, 'origin,' or 'fundamental.' The Mul Mantar is thus the root statement of Sikhism.[1]

Text[edit]

Some Sikh institutions, like the SGPC, consider the Mūl Mantar proper to end at 'Gur prasad,' arguing that what follows is the name of the Bani composition 'Jap', and the first line of the Jap Bani. Such groups claim this can be corroborated by the number of times that the mantar appears at the beginning of every Raag ending in 'Gur prasad.' On the other hand, other historic institutions, like taksals, or traditional Sikh religious educational institutions, and some Gurmat schools tracing back to the time of the Sikh gurus, hold the Mūl Mantar to be the full following verse, arguing that traditionally the Mūl Mantar in its full Naad goes from Ik Oankar until 'Nanak Hosi bhi sach,' and that the Mūl Mantar in the full Naad is given in the Amrit Sanchar baptizing ceremony since 1699.

The Mul Mantar is a widely known part of Sikh scripture, but it has posed a challenge to translators.[1] The first affirmation, for example, Ik Onkar has been rendered multiple ways. It has been translated as 'There is one god', as ‘One reality is’, and ‘This being is one’' and the varying capitalization of 'God', 'Reality', or 'Being' affects the meaning in English.[1] A number of translations erroneously change the Mul Mantar from a list of qualities to a statement of facts and possessive adjectives. For example, they may change Satnam from 'truth by name' to 'His name is truth', which adds a masculine quality to God which does not appear in the original Gurmukhi.[1]

Jap ji is a prayer at the beginning of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, considered the holy scripture of Sikhs. It was composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru in the line of ten Sikh Gurus.

Jap ji begins with Mool Mantra and is followed by 38 pauris (stanzas) and ends with a final Salok at the end of this composition.[1]

Jap ji is believed to be the first composition of Guru Nanak, and is now considered the comprehensive essence of Sikh faith.[1] It is regarded amongst the most important Bani or 'set of verses' by the Sikhs, as it is the first Bani in Nitnem.

Notable is Nanak's discourse on 'what is true worship' and what is the nature of God'. In Jap ji it is stated that God is indescribable; the only true form of worship is worship of Nam (inner Word, Sound, Power), realization of God, and to remain always in the Holy Will of that loving God, accomplished with the grace of the True Guru.[2][3]

Related to Jap ji is the Jaapu Sahib (Punjabi: :ਜਾਪੁ), the latter is found at the start of Dasam Granth and was composed by Guru Gobind Singh.[1][4]

Japji is chanted in the Sikh tradition at the initiation ceremony and during the cremation ceremony.[1]

Meaning of Jap(u)[edit]

Unicode sinhala fonts free download mp3. Following are some accepted meanings of Jap:

  • A conventional meaning for Jap(u) is to recite, to repeat, or to chant.[2]
  • Jap also means to understand. Gurbani cites Aisa Giaan Japo Man Mere, Hovo Chakar Sache Kere, where the word Jap means to understand wisdom.[5]

Content[edit]

The Japji Sahib opens with hymn that 'one cannot clean the mind just by cleaning the body, by silence alone one cannot find peace, by food alone one cannot satisfy one's hunger, to be purified one must abide in love of the divine'.[6] Hymn 2 asserts that by God's command the ups and downs in life happen, it is He who causes suffering and happiness, it is He whose command brings release from rebirth, and it is His command by which one lives in perpetual cycles of rebirth from karma.[6][7]

With good karmas in past life and His grace is the gate of mukti (liberation) is found; in Him is everything, states Hymn 4.[6] The Hymn 5 states that He has endless virtues, so one must sing His name, listen, and keep the love for Him in one's heart.[6][8] The Guru's shabda (word) is the protecting sound and wisdom of the Vedas, the Guru is Shiva, Vishnu (Gorakh) and Brahma, and the Guru is mother Parvati and Lakshmi.[9][10] All living beings abide in Him. Hymns 6 to 15 describe the value of listening to the word and having faith, for it is the faith that liberates.[7] God is formless and indescribable, state Hymns 16 to 19.[10] It is remembering His name that cleanses, liberates states Hymn 20. Hymns 21 through 27 revere the nature and name of God, stating that man's life is like a river that does not know the vastness of ocean it journeys to join, that all literature from Vedas to Puranas speak of Him, Brahma speaks, Siddhas speak, Yogi speaks, Shiva speaks, the silent sages speak, the Buddha speaks, the Krishna speaks, the humble Sewadars speak, yet one cannot describe Him completely with all the words in the world.[7][11]

Hymn 30 states that He watches all, but none can see Him. God is the primal one, the pure light, without beginning, without end, the never changing constant, states Hymn 31.[12]

Japji Sahib and Jaap Sahib[edit]

The Guru Granth Sahib starts with Japji Sahib, while Dasam Granth starts with Jaap Sahib.[1] Guru Nanak is credited with the former, while Guru Gobind Singh is credited with the latter.[1]Jaap Sahib is structured as a stotra that are commonly found in 1st millennium CE Hindu literature. The Jaap Sahib, unlike Japji Sahib, is composed predominantly in Braj-Hindi and Sanskrit language, with a few Arabic words, and with 199 stanzas is longer than Japji Sahib.[1] The Japu Sahib is, like Japji Sahib, a praise of God as the unchanging, loving, unborn, ultimate power and includes within it 950 attributes of God.[1][4] This is similar to Sahasranama texts of India, and for this reason this part is also called as Akal Sahasranama.[4] The text includes names for God taken from primarily Islamic and Zoroastrian metaphysics, such as Allāh (Arabic) & 'Khuda' (Persian). The Japu Sahib includes a mention of God as wielder of weapons, consistent with the martial spirit of Dasam Granth.[1]
