Triple Mantra

Nirinjan Kaur's 'Triple Mantra' is a spiritually enriching song that draws from the Sikh tradition, specifically the teachings of Guru Nanak. The lyrics are a mantra, a sacred utterance believed to have spiritual and psychological power. The repetition of the phrases 'Ad guray nameh,' 'Jugad guray nameh,' 'Sat guray nameh,' and 'Siri guru devay nameh' translates to 'I bow to the primal wisdom,' 'I bow to the wisdom through the ages,' 'I bow to the true wisdom,' and 'I bow to the great unseen wisdom,' respectively. This mantra is a form of reverence and acknowledgment of the divine wisdom that transcends time and space.

The second part of the lyrics, 'Ad such, Jugad such, Hehbee such, Nanaka o see bee such,' translates to 'True in the beginning, true throughout the ages, true even now, Nanak says this truth shall ever be.' This part emphasizes the eternal nature of truth, a core tenet in Sikhism. The repetition of these lines serves as a meditative practice, helping the listener internalize the timelessness and constancy of truth. It is a reminder that truth is not bound by time; it is a constant presence in the past, present, and future.

Nirinjan Kaur's rendition of this mantra is not just a song but a spiritual experience. Her soothing voice and the serene musical arrangement create an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. The 'Triple Mantra' serves as a tool for meditation, helping individuals connect with their inner selves and the universal truth. It is a beautiful example of how music can be a medium for spiritual growth and enlightenment, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to touch the soul.
