Nanak hosee bhee sach (ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚ੝) is part of the Maha Mantar which appears at the beginning of the Sikh scripture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Nanak says; "Hosee bhee" is derived from Persian and means "Will also". Sach means true, reality, right. So the combined phrase means Nanak says, "Will also remain true in the future".


Maha Mantar:
