Date: 10th November, 2008

Question:
*Tell meaning of "Sat Sri Akal"
* Write a small poem on "Sat Sri Akal"

Answer:
Meaning of "Sat Sri Akal" - The Eternal God is True!

Winner: Amardeep Singh
- He gets a beautiful Sikhi Wall Hanging!
---------------------------------------------------
Answer given by Amardeep Singh is below:

Meaning of SAT SRI AKAL-"He/She Be Blessed Who says Truth is God".

EXPLANATION
SAT-
1.TRUTH,SACH
REFERENCES
IK ONKAAR SATNAAM…(MOOL MANTAR)
Here sat means truth;the name of lord is truth
2.EXISTENT
Kafi jagah sach/sat ho sakda but eh mumkin hai jis bare keha ja reha oh is same exist nahi karda.
For example-eh sat hai ke there were dinosaurs on earth,but they do not exist now.
Eh sat hai ke assi aj roti khadi,but it does not exist now,usda astitva khatam ho gaya.

So sat da meaning can’t b completed by saying dat sat is truth and existent in context of waheguru ji.
Kyunki waheguru ji sach ve net e maujood vi..
Ref. :-
SACHE SAHIBA KYA NAHI GHAR TERE
Here God nu sach(truth) keha hai
Eh saanu kitho pata lagge ki waheguru ji exist karde ne
Ref.:-
jeh jeh pekho theh hajoor door kathu n jaei (GGS 677)
isto pata lag gaya waheguru ji maujood vi han
note-jo vi cheez asi vekh lende ha oh sach hundi hai,apart from few
I hope mai sat bare apne vichaar sahi tarah aap g nu samjha sakya ha

SRI-
Sri is a word which denotes respect just like the Punjabi words Ji or Sahib; also implies that the person or item is great

AKAAL-
Eh do shabad to banya hai- a+kaal
Kaal means-
1.Time
2.Death
So akaal da meaning hoya jo timeless hai deathless hai..
Asi jaande hi ha ke waheguru ji hi AKAAL ne,Shabad Guru hi AKAAL hai.
GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI nu v asi AKAAL keh sakde ha,bhaav guru nu,be o nanak ji hon ja una di koi jot.
Ref-
Gur parmesar eko jaan (GGS864)
Ref of akaal
nriboojh hai,asoojh hai, akaal hai, ajaal hai-JAAP SAHIB

SO SAT SRI AKAAL DA MEANING HOYA- KI AKAAL(GOD,ALMIGHTY) SAT NE,(TRUTH,EXISTENT).
Je asi is tuk nu-SAT SRI AKAAL nu aggo di padiye ta esda arth hoyga ki TRUTH IS GOD..gall vi sahi hai ke sach hi rabbji han
SAT SRI AKAAL CAN’T BE COMPLETED BY SAYING
JO BOLE SO NIHAAL SAT SRI AKAAL
Is line vich kitni vadiyayi hai.jo bolega sat sri akal o nihaal ho jayga,manne ya na bas bole-(jo bole so nihaal)
SIKHS MOSTLY GREET BY SAYING SAT SRI AKAAL,
WHEREAS KHALSA’S GREETING IS WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH.

POEM
SAT SRI AKAAL
KIRPA HAI SABH TE SAT SRI AKAAL DI,
MAHIMA APRAMPAAR HAI SAT SRI AKAAL DI.
SACH HI TA AKAAL HAI TE SAT SRI AKAAL HAI,
JIS PASSE VEKHDA HA FAILYA USDA KAMAAL HAI.

AFSOOS HAI PAR AJ KYONKI DUNIYA BADHAAL HAI,
SAT SRI AKAAL UNA NU JINHA NE KITA EH HAAL HAI.

KIVEN MILAAVA NAZRAN MAI AJ BHENA NAAL,
KIVEN AAKHAN MA MAI TAINU AJ SAT SRI AKAAL.
KUKH VICH HI AJ BACHA SUAH HO GAYA,
AJ MA DA VI RUTBA TABAH HO GAYA.

NASHEA VICH JO DUBBE UNA NU VI SAT SRI AKAAL HAI,
JAVANI JINA ROULI KITA SAMAJ DA BURA HAAL HAI.

NINDAK MITRA NU VI MERI SAT SRI AKAAL HAI,
DOORO DOORO HI MERA UNA NU EH PAIGAAM HAI.
JO NAAM DE SINGH UNA NU VI SAT SRI AKAAL HAI,
SIRGUMEA NU VI MERA DILON EH PAIGAAM HAI.

SAT SRI AKAAL SABHDE MAN GHAR KAR JAYE,
SHAYAD IS NAAL SAMAJIK BURAYIYA TE KUCH HADH TAK ROK LAG JAYE.

IK ARDAAS HAI TE IK ARJOI VI,
SAT SRI AKAL AAKH NIHAAL HOVO HUN SABH KOI BAI.


ANJAANE VICH HOYIA APAAR BHULA DIA KHIMA,UMEED KARDA HA APNA SANDESH DEN VICH SAFAL HOYA HA.

Daily Gurbani Vocabulary - Every Evening

Whenever we go to Gurdwara Sahib or listen Kirtan at home, we might feel sometimes that Gurbani being recited is too difficult for us to understand and comprehend. This is not strange.

Until and unless we know the building blocks of Gurbani, we can not grasp the meaning. Because if we don't know the meaning of those building blocks (Gurbani Words), we would not be able to focus on the complete meaning. And if we don't understand the complete meaning, how can we implement Gurbani in our lives?

But its not difficult to learn those building blocks and just to make things more easier, this "Gurbani Vocabulary" SMS series has been started.

Everyday get ONE* word from Gurbani with its meaning and example and sometimes synonyms.
Example:

OAT: support

HAR KA NAAM DAAS KI OAT
The Name of the Lord is the Support of His servants.

Synonyms of OAT: TEK, AADHAAR, AASRA


Every weekend, also get a recap of all the Gurbani Words sent in the past 6 days for better revision :)
Example:

Recap
REETA: lifestyle
KHIN: instant
UDHAARI: rescue
KOT: millions
PARHARAI: removes
NISTARE: find release
OAT: support
BALIHAARI: sacrifice


* Sometimes more than one word also
