| The term '''Naam''' refers to the act of worship of God by [[Sikh]]s. '''Naam Japo''' refers to the meditation, vocal singing of [[Hymn]]s from the Sri [[Guru Granth Sahib]] or of the various [[Names of God]], specially the chanting of the word [[Waheguru]], which means ''Wonderful Lord''. Singing of hymns generally is also referred to a ‘Naam Jap’, sometimes also called ‘Naam [[Simran]]’.

| '''Naam Japo''' is a main pillar of [[Sikhism]] and is the term used to refer to this very important activity in the everyday life of a Sikh – the singing, quite meditation, listening of sacred text or sacred words. Critical importance is given to the meditation in the [[SGGS]. On page 189 of [[SGGS]], Guru Ji says:
| |
| | |
| <I> With my hands I do His work; with my tongue I sing His Glorious Praises.
| |
| With my feet, I walk on the Path of my Lord and Master. ||1||
| |
| It is a good time, when I remember Him in meditation.
| |
| Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||
| |
| With your eyes, behold the Blessed Vision of the Saints.
| |
| Record the Immortal Lord God within your mind. ||2||
| |
| Listen to the Kirtan of His Praises, at the Feet of the Holy.
| |
| Your fears of birth and death shall depart. ||3||
| |
| Enshrine the Lotus Feet of your Lord and Master within your heart.
| |
| Thus this human life, so difficult to obtain, shall be redeemed. ||4||51||120||</I>
