1 Heading 'Mool Mantar' be replaced with 'ONE ETERNAL TRUTH'

Guiding Factors for the Thought

  • '1 omkar' all over the Holy Scriptures (more so for Mool Mantar) stands out as heading.
  • 'ONE TRUTH ETERNAL' is considered to be Themetically & textually well suited heading.
  • 'Blends with the Article Mool Mantar.
  • It includes thy true name.

Mantar Mool does appear - I don't knoe if this helps?

Respected Amita Singh ji, WKWF

The word mantar mool and mool mantar do?? appear in SGGS from a very quick scan via Srigranth (please confirm in original Gurmukhi as I have not checked this??):

Page 156, Line 3 -- Guru Nanak Dev O mind, there is only the One medicine, mantra and healing herb - center your consciousness firmly on the One Lord. a-ukhaDh mantar mool man aykai jay kar darirh chit keejai ray.

Page 675, Line 1 -- Guru Arjan Dev The Mul Mantra, the Root Mantra, is the only cure for the mind; I have installed faith in God in my mind. a-ukhaDh mantar mool man aykai man bisvaas parabh Dhaari-aa.

Page 1040, Line 19 -- Guru Nanak Dev Chanting the Mool Mantra, and the Name of the Lord, the source of nectar, says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Lord. ||5|| mool mantar har naam rasaa-in kaho naanak pooraa paa-i-aa. ||5||


I don't knoe if this makes a difference to your view on this, but I think that most people recognise what the "mool mantar" is when we mention these words. I don't think they would recognise anything if you said "ONE TRUTH ETERNAL"

I think sometimes these old names stick and it is very difficult to change the mind set.

Mutia Stands Corrected

Maan Yog Hari Singh Ji, WKWF

I do not know how to express my gratitude & thanks for showing me the light.

I beg an apology from guru for misquoting.

I agree with your broader view on the subject of communicating with SikhiWiki readers in the language they appreciate & comprehend better.We must follow the gurus in this & strive to reach out to the masses in their language.

A Sikh is always learning

Brother Amita Singh Ji,

I don't think I can be a guide to anyone - I have no qualities - only the Gurus are our guide and totally dependable. We as Sikhs are all on a path of eternal learning. So please I have no merits in this sphere; only by the blessing to our Guru can we find the correct path. So I think that it only thro Gurbani and by dwelling on the Guru's words can we move forward in life. All the spiritual gifts are from the Bani. -- Hari Singh 19:48, 5 Oct 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

We Sikhs are out of Tune
