SGGS: This Month

This is what the Guru Granth Sahib says about this month:

ਮਾਘਿ ਮਜਨ੝ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਾਧੂਆ ਧੂੜੀ ਕਰਿ ਇਸਨਾਨ੝ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮ੝ ਧਿਆਇ ਸ੝ਣਿ ਸਭਨਾ ਨੋ ਕਰਿ ਦਾਨ੝ ॥ ਜਨਮ ਕਰਮ ਮਲ੝ ਉਤਰੈ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਜਾਇ ਗ੝ਮਾਨ੝ ॥ ਕਾਮਿ ਕਰੋਧਿ ਨ ਮੋਹੀਝ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਲੋਭ੝ ਸ੝ਆਨ੝ ॥ ਸਚੈ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਚਲਦਿਆ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰੇ ਜਹਾਨ੝ ॥ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਸਗਲ ਪ੝ੰਨ ਜੀਅ ਦਇਆ ਪਰਵਾਨ੝ ॥ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਦੇਵੈ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਸੋਈ ਪ੝ਰਖ੝ ਸ੝ਜਾਨ੝ ॥ ਜਿਨਾ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਪ੝ਰਭ੝ ਆਪਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਨ ਕ੝ਰਬਾਨ੝ ॥ ਮਾਘਿ ਸ੝ਚੇ ਸੇ ਕਾਂਢੀਅਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਪੂਰਾ ਗ੝ਰ੝ ਮਿਹਰਵਾਨ੝ ॥12॥

maagh majan sa(n)g saadhhooaa dhhoorree kar eisanaan ॥ har kaa naam dhhiaae sun sabhanaa no kar dhaan ॥ janam karam mal outharai man thae jaae gumaan ॥ kaam karodhh n moheeai binasai lobh suaan ॥ sachai maarag chaladhiaa ousathath karae jehaan ॥ at(h)asat(h) theerathh sagal pu(n)n jeea dhaeiaa paravaan ॥ jis no dhaevai dhaeiaa kar soee purakh sujaan ॥ jinaa miliaa prabh aapanaa naanak thin kurabaan ॥ maagh suchae sae kaa(n)dteeahi jin pooraa gur miharavaan ॥12॥

In the month of Maagh, let your cleansing bath be the dust of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Meditate and listen to the Name of the Lord, and give it to everyone. In this way, the filth of lifetimes of karma shall be removed, and egotistical pride shall vanish from your mind. Sexual desire and anger shall not seduce you, and the dog of greed shall depart. Those who walk on the Path of Truth shall be praised throughout the world. Be kind to all beings-this is more meritorious than bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage and the giving of charity. That person, upon whom the Lord bestows His Mercy, is a wise person. Nanak is a sacrifice to those who have merged with God. In Maagh, they alone are known as true, unto whom the Perfect Guru is Merciful. ((12))
