Japji Sahib is a beautiful teaching song composed by the first Sikh Master, Guru Naanak. Guru Naanak lived in the late 15th to early 16th century. He saw the Divine Light in everyone and everything. Because of this vision, he challenged the social injustices of his day.
In 2003, Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan guided me in doing a translation of Japji Sahib. This was an incredibly precious experience. It took place the year before Yogi Bhajan left his physical body. Since that time, I have written various essays about the meaning of Japji, in addition to completing and publishing the translation. Here are links to some of those essays:
- Text, Subtext and Spiritual Experience in the translation of Guru Naanak’s Japji Sahib into English
- The Mystical Process of the Divine as Described in the Mool Mantra
- 33rd Pauree of Japji Sahib
- 36th and 37th Paurees of Japji Sahib: The Indescribable Experiences
