Siri Guru Granth Sahib

Der Siri Guru Granth Sahib ist die Offenbarung und Manifestation des Göttlichen Wortes - GURBANI, welches von Satguru Nanak Dev und den Sikh Gurus empfangen und der Menschheit offenbart wurde. Das göttliche Licht von Akaal Purakh Waheguru hat sich in der Sargun Form von Satguru Nanak Dev auf Erden manifestiert. Dieses göttliche Licht (divine Light) von Satguru Nanak Dev Ji wurde auf den zweiten Sikh Guru, Guru Angad Dev, übertragen. Das göttliche Licht von Guru Angad Dev wurde auf Guru Amar Das weitergegeben. Dieser Prozeß ging bis zu Guru Gobind Singh, und vollendete sich im Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Im Jahr 1708 überträgt Guru Gobind Singh in Nanded die Guruschaft auf den 'Guru Granth Sahib' und ernennt Ihn zum 'Ewig-lebenden Guru' der Sikhs. Die Sikh Gurus haben die Hymnen im Siri Guru Granth Sahib nicht mit Ihrem eigenen Namen unterschrieben, sondern mit dem Namen Nanak. Das göttliche Licht von Akaal Purakh Waheguru, manifest in Satguru Nanak Dev hat sich in zehn Formen auf Erden manifestiert - One Jot in Ten forms.

In Ihrer Liebe, Hingabe und Demut betonen die Sikh Gurus im Siri Guru Granth Sahib, in den Sikh Gebeten und den Sikh Schriften, daß sie die Diener und Opfer Gottes sind, und daß nur der Eine, ewige transzendente, allmächtige, wundervolle Schöpfer anzubeten ist.

Der Siri Guru Granth Sahib stellt die höchste spirituelle, religiöse Autorität in der Sikh Religion dar. Der Reine Shabad Guru ist Jaagdi Jot, das ewig-existierende Licht der höchsten Wahrheit Gottes/Gurus in Form der Gurbani. Guru ist Bani - Bani ist Guru. Das zentrale Hauptthema im Siri Guru Granth Sahib ist die Vereinigung mit Naam, der Existenz und Realität Gottes durch Waheguru Naam Rezitation und Meditation. Die Sikh Gurus offenbaren die Methode, wie die temporäre Erscheinungswelt der Maya und die Fünf Diebe (Panj Chor) Lust, Wut, Gier, emotionale/materielle Anhaftung und das Ego überwunden werden können, um aus dem Kreislauf der Wiedergeburten zu gelangen. Der Siri Guru Granth Sahib ist die Verkörperung von Prem und Shant Ras, der Essenz von Liebe und Frieden. Durch Waheguru Naam und dem Wort des Shabad wird die Individual Seele transformiert. Der Ewige Shabad Guru schenkt wahres Wissen über Gott und Seine Schöpfungsmechanismen und gibt praktische Hilfe, Führung und Segen für Seine Sikhs und für alle Menschen, die den Sikh Weg des Lebens für sich entdecken. Gurbani offenbart dem ständig wandernden Geist, wie er sich reinigen, transformieren und die Liebe zur Dualität, zur Maya überwinden kann. Der Geist unterliegt der Illusion, von Gott getrennt zu sein. Die Sikh Gurus und die Heiligen Bhagats lehren im Siri Guru Granth Sahib, wie der Geist den Ursprung allen Seins erkennen, wahrnehmen und reflektieren kann. Der Geist wird angeleitet, wie er den Zustand von mehr Ruhe, Frieden und Unabhängigkeit in sich kultiviert. Der Ewige Shabad Guru inspiriert Menschen aller Herkunft ein auf Gott ausgerichtetes, rechtschaffenes Leben in Liebe, Frieden, Hingabe, Mitgefühl, Toleranz, Mut, Stärke und Demut im Willen Gottes zu leben.

Ein grundlegender Aspekt des Siri Guru Granth Sahib ist Seine musikalische Poesie in Versform. Der Siri Guru Granth Sahib ist in 31 Haupt Raags, 31 gemischte Raags (Mishrat Raags) und in 17 unterschiedlichen Taala strukturiert. Die Raags bilden die Grundlage für die musikalischen Kompositionen des Shabad Kirtan. Der Reine Shabad Guru beinhaltet die Verse und Hymnen der Sikh Gurus, als auch die von den verschiedenen Bhagats und Bhatts (Sufi Heilige, Hindus und Muslime), die von unterschiedlicher sozialer Herkunft und Religion abstammten. Sie waren im Einklang mit der Lehre der Sikh Gurus von dem Einen universellen Schöpfergott. Sie haben auf Naam meditiert und in Ihrem Bewußtsein die Einheit mit der kosmischen All Seele des Schöpfers erfahren. Diese Heiligen wurden mit in den Siri Guru Granth Sahib aufgenommen, als Ausdruck der universellen Brüderlichkeit und der ewig-gültigen transzendentalen Botschaft Gottes.

Der ewige Shabad Guru

offenbart sich in Seiner Manifestation als:

ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
Waho Waho ist Bani, das direkte Wort des formlosen Schöpfers.
(SGGS, Ang 515)

ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਬਾਣੀ ॥
Bani ist Guru und Guru ist Bani.
(SGGS, Ang 982)

ਪੋਥੀ ਪਰਮੇਸਰ ਕਾ ਥਾਨੁ ॥
Dieses Heilige Pothi (Granth) ist die Heimat des transzendenten Schöpfers, Gott. 
(SGGS, Ang 1226)

Der Siri Guru Granth Sahib hat 1430 Ang und 5864 Verse.

Siri Guru Granth Sahib

The Eternal Living Guru

Sri Guru Nanak Dev Sahib had passed on His whole potency to Sri Guru Angad Sahib. Sri Guru Angad Sahib passes on the same to Sri Guru Amar Das Ji and so on. Tenth Nanak (Sri Guru Gobind Singh) passes on the same potency to Siri Guru Granth Sahib in terms of Eternity. There is no distinction between potency and the possessor thereof. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the same Jaagdi Jot - Jot Roop Har Guru Nanak. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib and Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib are inseparable from Siri Guru Granth Sahib and exist in Siri Guru Granth Sahib in their fullness. That is why Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib declares that He permanently abides and dwells in Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Every Hymn of Siri Guru Granth Sahib is surcharged and pervaded with Divine fragrance, glow and eternal presence of our beloved Lord Guru Nanak. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the eternal Embodiment of the whole Shakti, divine wisdom, Love, Humility, Holiness and Divinity of all the Ten Manifestations of Guru Nanak Dev.

And this is how this Sovereign Power of Siri Guru Granth Sahib is addressed to:

• Dasoon Patshahion Ke Saroop
  
• Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj
  
• Hazara Hazoor, Jahra Jahoor
  
• Kalyug Ke Bohit
  
• Nam Ke Jahaj
  
• Halat Palat Ke Rakhiak
  
• Lok Parlok Ke Sahayak
  
• Dasaan Patshahian Di Hazar Nazar Jaagdi Jot
  
• Sahib Ji De Path Darshan Da Dhian Dhar Ke
  
• Bolo Ji Sri Waheguru
  

Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the celestial ship of the Divine Name (Waheguru). Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the Protector, the Saviour in this world and the worlds hereafter. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the Eternal Guru, Jaagdi Jot. Is the Illuminator and the Divine Sustainer of the whole Universe. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is an Ocean of Nectar and a drop of this Nectar is enough for emancipation.

Highly blessed are the souls who sail in this celestial and divine Ship (Siri Guru Granth Sahib). It is a 'Voyage Divine', through the most dreadful Ocean of mortality in this dark Age (Kaliyuga). It is a wonderful long journey in the perpetual Holy company of our most beloved Satguru. Wonder of wonders is that Guru Nanak Dev is all the time at our side and never leaves us stranded for a moment. Guru Nanak Dev is our Rescuer and our Saviour. As Holy Guru Granth Sahib is a divine ship one can easily cross this terrible ocean of illusion and mortality by hearing, by singing (Holy Kirtan), by reciting the Divine Name (Waheguru) and Glories of the Lord through the Hymns of the Lord Himself. Amrit Bani (Gurbani) was the Guru from the very beginning, Sri Guru Nanak Sahib illuminated the world through Gurbani. The same divine Jot continued the process of illumination through Gurbani in the luminous Form of Sri Guru Angad Sahib. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib continued the  divine process through Sri Guru Amar Das Ji and so on. Illumination continues unabated through the same Gurbani from Siri Guru Granth Sahib. The Form of Siri Guru Granth Sahib changes with the stage of the disciple. It varies with the level of Love. God is Love and Love is God. In His great Udasis Sri Guru Nanak Sahib reaches out, in Love, to the worst sinners like Kauda the Rakshas, Sajan the Murderer, Bhooma the Dacoit, the Lepers and the downtrodden and saves them. Eternal manifestation of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib, Siri Guru Granth Sahib is Love and Love is Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Siri Guru Granth Sahib is Cosmic Love and reaches out to all those who seek solace and healing balm of the great Emancipator. Healing and soothing Love of Siri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib reaches out to the thirsty and wounded enemy, it reaches out to the whole Humanity without distinction and discrimination. Love of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is all-embracing and universal. All Glory to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib who infused the whole of His potentiality in the eternal manifestation, The Eternal Guru Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Gurbani is surcharged with all the spiritual power of the divine Gurus as they had infused their whole divine strength there in. Each and every Hymn stands fully surcharged with the Eternal Glory of the Divine Name.

Tenth Guru Nanak permanently resides and dwells in Siri Guru Granth Sahib and blessed indeed is the devotee to whom He so reveals Himself.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib was a spiritual Lion, upholder of Truth, Saviour of the righteous and Destroyer of the unrighteous. He was Bestower of the Nectar of immortality, elixir of life eternal. Most gracious and compassionate Guru was Bestower of the rare boon of martyrdom and was Himself exemplar supreme of total sacrifice of everything nearest and dearest. He was repository of all divine and human virtues and a Performer of the most wondrous deeds in human garb which being beyond human endeavour are only possible by the Lord Himself. To the Lovers, Guru Gobind Singh Ji is the supreme Ideal of Tapasya, of meditation when envisioned absorbed in deep and long meditation at Hemkunt Sahib. He is the supreme Ideal of renunciation and sacrifice as He sacrifices everything and every one nearest and dearest for the sake of Truth. He is the supreme Ideal of Brahm Vichar, Divine knowledge as the great Author of Jaap Sahib, Bachitar Natak and of an ocean of life giving Nectar (Bani). He is the supreme Ideal of Divine Love Himself, being the perfect Embodiment and Personification of His great Proclamation.

ਸਾਚੁ ਕਹੌ ਸੁਨ ਲੇਹੁ ਸਭੈ ਜਿਨ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕੀਓ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਓ ॥੯॥੨੯॥

I speak the truth, all should keep their ears on it, who is deepened in the true love will recognize the Lord.

(Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, Ang 40)

He is an ideal Warrior, an ideal sample of Divine Perfection and repository of all Divine excellences. He is an ideal Divine for all contemplation and meditation. Guru Gobind Singh Ji cast the Khalsa in the image of the Divine and manifested the Divine in the image of the Khalsa. He had refashioned the Sadh Sangat into Khalsa on the auspicious day of Baisakhi. This great Religion rests on a unique foundation built up brick by brick, each brick signifying the grand Majesty of a unique sacrifice and martyrdom. Bricks cruely arranged to brick alive the minor sons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib render Eternal Glory to this unique foundation. This brick by brick foundation has been cemented by the holy martyrdom blood of the saviour Gurus themselves because only on such a peerless and matchless purity and humility rests the Divine Throne of Guru Nanak  Dev - Holy Guru Granth Sahib, purer than purity itself. We should pray from the core of our heart and seek Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's unbounded grace to enable us to cultivate in us the great virtues and ideals set out by Him in His holy commandments and to become worthy of His holy mould and sacred cast that is Khalsa. O, My Lord, you are approachable only by true Love and then you start feeding the true aspirant with the nectar of Divine Love yourself. O, my beloved Satguru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, you hold the mighty power, the Bhagauti, in your right Hand and control everything. You lead, bless and guide your lovers on the royal path of Divine Love, Prema. Without your blessings and guidance it is not possible to tread the path of Truth, Love and Righteousness. O, my Beloved and Great Guru, you, out of mercy, had shown the great path and pray now lead us lest we go astray.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the great world Teacher is the Enlightener of the World. He is Cosmic Light - Light of the Universe. Khalsa enshrines this Cosmic Light in the Holy folds of his own All pure Atam and always recites Guru's Divine Name (Waheguru) with the holy lips of his ever glowing Jot.
