Where does Mool Mantar end?

A user added the following section to the Mool Mantar article:

"There is controversy over whether the Mool Mantar stops at "Gurprasad" or continues with "Jap" on to the first numeral. Sikh scholars are divided and arguments favoring either case have been made. The results of a google search will show examples."

Yes, there is a difference of opinion as to where the Mool Mantar ends, I would say 'most' people have suggested that 'Jap' is the title and commencement of the Bani - JapJi Sahib.

I've taken the section out because rather than suggesting readers to do a "google search" can we not have this info on the site?

As per Darpan by Prof Sahib Singh

  • 1. Heading. Mool Mantar ends at ...gur parshad. Being the Heading for the entire text of SGGS, no serial No has been alloted to it.
  • 2. Opening Shalok. Next Pad commencing with aad sach... & ending at ...Bhi sach, is an opening Shalok for Bani titled Jap. An independent Serial 1 has been alloted to this Shlok. It is an amplification of 'ik Om Kaar Sat Naam'.
  • 3. Bani Jap(u). Next the set of 38 Pads, serially numbered from 1 through 38, are covered under the Heading Jap(u).
  • 4. Concluding Shalok . Pawan guru... ...Naal. is the Shalok summing up the theme of complete Bani of 38 Paudis.

Ek / Oankaar

A recent user deleted a section of the mool mantar article discussing the significance of the numeral one, 'Ek'. I've as a result split the section into two headings - 'Ek' and 'Oankaar'. If you're going to make an edit like that, please can you register and also explain your reasons on this discussion page.--Navroop Singh 04:36, 13 May 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Original Gurmukhi Text
