Japji Sahib is the first composition of Guru Nanak, and is considered the comprehensive essence of Sikhism.[1] It is first Bani in Nitnem. Notable is Nanak's discourse on 'what is true worship' and what is the nature of God'.[3][4] According to Christopher Shackle, it is designed for 'individual meditative recitation' and as the first item of daily devotional prayer for the devout.[2] It is a chant found in the morning and evening prayers in Sikh gurdwaras.[5] It is also chanted in the Sikh tradition at the Khalsa initiation ceremony and during the cremation ceremony.[1]
Related to Japji Sahib is the Jaap Sahib (Punjabi: :ਜਾਪੁ), the latter is found at the start of Dasam Granth and was composed by Guru Gobind Singh.[1][6]
Meaning of Jaap sahib[edit]
Following are some accepted meanings of Jap:
- A conventional meaning for Jap(u) is to recite, to repeat, or to chant.[3]
- Jap also means to understand. Gurbani cites Aisa Giaan Japo Man Mere, Hovo Chakar Sache Kere, where the word Jap means to understand wisdom.[7]
Content[edit]
The Japji Sahib’s first stanza or pauri states that one cannot be cleaned or stay clean by repeatedly taking bath at holy sites as the thoughts are not clean, by silence alone one cannot find peace as the thoughts come one after another in our mind, by food and all material gains alone one cannot satisfy one's hunger, to be purified one must abide in love of the divine.[8] 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.[8][9]
With good karmas in past life and his grace is the gate to mukti (liberation); in him is everything, states verse 4.[8] The verse 5 states that He has endless virtues, so one must sing His name, listen, and keep the love for Him in one's heart.[8][10] 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.[11][12] All living beings abide in Him. Verse 6 to 15 describe the value of listening to the word and having faith, for it is the faith that liberates.[9] God is formless and indescribable, state verses 16 to 19.[12] 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.[9][13]
Verse 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.[14]
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 the Japji Sahib, is composed predominantly in Braj-Hindi and the Sanskrit language, with a few Arabic and Persian words, and with 199 stanzas making it longer than Japji Sahib.[1] The Jaap Sahib is, like Japji Sahib, in praise of God as the unchanging, loving, unborn, ultimate power and includes within it 950 names of God,[1] starting with Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu and moving on to over 900 names and avatars of gods and goddesses found in Hindu traditions, with the assertion that these are all manifestations of the One, the limitless eternal creator.[6] This is similar to Sahasranama texts of India, and for this reason this part is also called as Akal Sahasranama.[6] The text includes Arabic and Persian words for God such as Khuda and Allah. The Japu Sahib includes a mention of God as wielder of weapons, consistent with the martial spirit of Dasam Granth.[1]

We are One with God

Doer of everything.
Beyond fear.
Beyond Revenge.
Beyond Death,
Image of the Infinite,
Unborn.

O NANAK

By thinking and thinking,
Nothing happens…
Though I may think a thousand times.
Deep in silence,
Nothing happens…
Though the string of longing plays.
The hungry people stay hungry,
With the weight of the world on their backs.
You may be incredibly clever,
But you can’t take it Home with you.
How can I live the Truth?
How can I cut through the net of lies?
Walk in God’s Will
Within and without.
O Nanak!
This is our True Identity
Doer of everything.
