  1. Explore Pahare | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    SEP 11

    Explore Pahare | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    ‘Pahare’ is considered to be a form of folk poetry in Panjabi. This poetic genre is based on the consciousness of time. Examples of this poetic genre are found only in the Guru Granth Sahib. Dividing day and night into four quarters each and expressing one’s feelings through them is the classical basis of this poetic genre. To liberate the commoner from the superstition of believing in the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of a time period and keeping in mind the importance of this unit of time in social life, the Gurus used this poetic genre to communicate their beliefs.

  2. Explore Chaubole | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    SEP 5

    Explore Chaubole | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    Guru Arjan Sahib’s Chaubole focuses on love, teaching that true devotion to IkOankar (the Divine) brings constant joy. A lover fully immersed in this love is ready to sacrifice everything for the Beloved. Their mind remains absorbed in the Divine, while those attached to worldly possessions and relationships remain unhappy, despite material comforts.

    Explore Anand Sanskar 2/2 | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    The ceremony of ‘Anand Karaj’ (blissful task) is very important in ‘Anand Sanskar’ (blissful ceremony). ‘Anand Sanskar’ is considered complete only with the ceremony of ‘Anand Karaj.’ Before the Anand Karaj, there are many other ceremonies in which Gurbani is recited and sung. These ceremonies and the Sabads recited in them have been discussed in detail in the earlier part. Here, we are discussing the Anand Karaj ceremony, and the Sabads recited in it.

  5. Explore Karhale | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    JUL 25

    Explore Karhale | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    The term 'karhale' is derived from the Rajasthani and Sindhi word 'karhal,' which means camel. Historically, traders loaded their goods on camels to sell in distant lands, enduring long, arduous journeys. To relieve fatigue and express their emotions, they sang songs called 'karhale' about the harsh desert climate and their separation from loved ones. Over time, these songs evolved into a unique poetic form, depicting foreign lands and the challenges of wandering in separation from family.

    A Conversation on Anand Sahib: The Bliss

    Inni Kaur joins Sikh Heritage Month to discuss the deeper meaning of Anand Sahib by Guru Amardas Sahib. While 'anand' translates to happiness and joy, its true meaning is more profound. The composition highlights that the eternal Wisdom (Guru) is the source of bliss, which can only be experienced through this Wisdom. It brings steadiness and discipline to the seeker's entire being, leading to a state of true bliss.

    The Guru Granth Sahib contains many Sabads related to the wedding ceremony, in which themes of happiness, blessings, and teachings are conveyed through vocabulary related to the wedding.
