Artist's Notes
“Those beings are Swans who are filled with love and affection,; they well in the pool of Hari (Truth) after eradicating their man-made identities.”
– Guru Amar Das ji (Guru Granth Sahib, 128)
Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji starts off with praise of Waheguru in the form of the Mool Mantra. In the Mool Mantra, Guru Nanak Dev ji expresses the essence of spirituality that is at the heart of not just the Sikh religion but of Indian spiritual traditions as a whole.
The central thrust of Guru ji’s teachings is to orient oneself towards the Truth. This message shines through the Mool Mantra.
It reads as follows –
ੴ

ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ
Truth is Its Name

Without Fear, Without Enmity

Nanak speaks, It will be forever the Truth
