Dear User:Ekonkarsatnam

I sorry but you cannot delete established passages in any article without prior discussion and agreement with some of the users; why do you feel that your understanding of Japji is better than that of someone else. We all have our own experiences and this website allows us to share them in a meaningful and coherent manner.

If sound is not important than why does the Guru use the word Naad. You may not value that concept of the sound of Gurbani but others may have gained spiritually from this aspect of Gurbani. Do you think that they are wrong in bring this to the attention of the sangat?


I think you may still have a lot more learning to do to understand all the different aspect of the Guru's word! I am sorry I have had to block your access to the editing feature at this website. But I hope you will understand that we cannot allow this type of "mass" deletion of articles which have taken us many years to compile.

We require co-operation and expect a common & joint approach to the compilation of articles here; by your action, you have shown that that is not the way that you wish to operate.

I also below reply here and at the article discussion page to your comments made:

These may be unproven anecdotes for you but many have experienced the power of sound - The Guru refers to Naad, which stands for sound or vibration in Gurbani at many junctures; why do you think the Guru mention the importance of sound?

In Japji the Guru says: "The Guru's Word is the Sound-current of the Naad; the Guru's Word is the Wisdom of the Vedas; the Guru's Word is all-pervading." (SGGS p 2) and in the same vein, the Guru says "Gurbani is the sound current of the Naad, the Vedas, everything." (SGGS p 879) and yet again "The Gurmukh vibrates the Naad, the sound current of the Guru's Bani" (SGGS p 1058). All these tuks tell us about the connection of Naad and Gurbani.

Further, Gurbani informs us that: "Sing the Glorious Praises of the Immaculate True Lord forever, and the Immaculate Sound-current of the Naad shall vibrate within. (2)" (SGGS p 121) Here we can see how the Guru has placed importance of singing the praises of the Lord and how this gives rise to the internal Naad.

And later in the Guru Granth Sahib, the Guru tells us: "This is my life's purpose, to sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, and listen to the vibrations of the sound current of the Naad." (SGGS p 818) how the reciting and singing of kirtan is important and life's purpose!

Finally. in the following tuk, the Guru explains how the ears that cannot hear the sound current can be considered deaf! - "The ears which do not hear the Sound-current of the Naad - those ears might just as well be plugged." (SGGS p 1362)
