I'm taking my students through a 40 week exploration of the Japji. We are on pauri 1. These videos are BEYOND treasure! Thank you. Waheguru
What lucky students. Are they at university?
Maskeen ji has taken rebirth whenever i listen to you🙏🏼🌹
thank you thank you thank you
It is very difficult to come by such detailed information for non punjabi speakers, even though there is a book called language and grammar of SGGS which is meant to be aimed at English speakers, but it doesn't really bridge the gap. And you present it in such a pleasant way.
Please continue if you can, it is very much needed and appreciated.
Thank you
sikhi is all about learning, having two ears open all the time :)
Men like you come every once in a while in order to fulfill the hukam of helping humanity 🙏🏽🕉️🙏🏽
Thanks for your kind comment
It’s what I feel too!
so glad ur uploading videos again - you have no idea how moving these videos can be thank you waheguru
GOD BLESS YOU… ❤❤❤❤❤
Everytime I listen to this Gurbani vichaar. Everytime I learn more. Listening just once is not enough.
Agree, I listened to all episodes and then started to learn Gurmukhi, and I know, now, how to read, but the understanding part is still lacking, so I´m listening again, to take my notes. Being born in a non-Punjabi family, makes it more challenging, it´s a lot to learn, but I know I will make it. Looking back, I can see how far I´ve come already
Thank you, Waheguru ji 💗in the last 50 years this is the first time that have come across something that makes japji so much clearer!! Most of this resonates with the heart and is known within, without words…yet the outer conformation floors me!
Thank you I am from the US 🇺🇸 and I appreciate you 🙏
I heard multiple Diwan in punjab when I was kid, but when I started understanding by own I stopped it as most of them are always trying to defame other religions in any way and they don't talk about guru and waheguru that much that they talk about things which are totally prohibited by gurbani, but when I started listening you, I found my inner voice joying like someone is going to give answers for our questions without asking, Singh Saab you have great understanding and guru's blessings, Thanx a lot for explaining it and please continue, if there are Punjabi preechings also please let me know, as my parents don't know English and I want them too to listen to you
I found you by the grace of God you brought peace to my mind and body with your explanations, You are awesome, I have been trying to understand the Bani all my life but no one explained like you, So thankful to you and may God bless you, keep sharing the good words of NANAK JI. 🙏wahi Guru Ji ka Khalsa wahi Guru Ji ki fateh.
Thanks baba ji
That is a beautiful explanation and very close to one that I used to imagine. But I wasn't clear about many things. You explained "Hukam Rajain Chalanaa" in very unique way. Your understanding is untouched from other narrations and terminologies that most of the narrators borrow from other religions. I loved your pure way of thinking. Thanks a lot. May Waheguru keep you nirlape from haumaen. 🙌
this was really helpful. thank you 🙏

even if 10,527 views in 16 months so far jigyaasu / interested to listen to bhai jee , then we have enough persons to bring sanity to our sweet world. WAHEGURU. I AM GLAD SEE THIS MANY VIEWS , THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO SPEND THEIR TIME ELSE . THANKS. Gratitude ..
haha "i just had my ishnaan today" 1.02.45 thats too funny but a serious point. i love this channel. everyone donate, even if its just a pound/dollar a month lets get some more research done. keep up the good work.
The first scholar I have seen who interprets ‘sochai’ in Japji Sahib to mean ‘bathing’ and not thinking or worrying. The word ‘soch’ comes from the Sanskrit word ‘shauch’ which means to clean, usually by bathing.
I marvel at Bhai Satnam Singh Ji’s understanding and interpretation of our Gurbani. Through his interpretations many concepts in the upnishads have been clarified for me.
Can't express how much you've helped me with Hukam explanation. Thank you very much. My mummy always taunts me for not reading texts and shabads but I've tried to read them but it's stupid when you don't know what it's trying to say. Thank you finally I can get what they mean.
Try not to call it stupid please.
ਬਾਬਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਇਸਦੀ ਸਹੀ ਵਿਆਖਿਆ ਸਿੱਖ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਪੂਰਨ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ🙏🙏🙏
This is indeed an eye opening explanation. Thank you so much for posting this for awareness
Very interesting - a lot of people (including myself before I saw this) think “sochai” refers to thinking. Really nice breakdown ❤
Na o mare na thaghe jae

You are a great teacher.
Thank you Bhai Satpalji I have found this so helpful. May Waheguruji bless you.
Wah wah wah Guru jio ❤❤❤❤❤
You explained it so good and so precise that even though it was my first time understanding the meaning of Japji sahib, my inner self says you explained it precisely. And probably very few would know the actual deep meaning of this verse. Thank you so much. May waheguru bless you.
Thank you
waheguru ji thank you for this. this is so empowering for me in so many ways and I know it will be for others in my generation too. I cannot thank you enough
Very well explained. The grammer, the context it was written and its relevance today. Thanks
Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru ji

Thank you so much

Waheguru g☺🙏
VA HE GU RU
Thank you ... thank you for being so generous in your knowledge.
I ve learned a lot ... really a lot.
God bless you.
Thank you!!
Excellent . Excellent 🙏
Thank you so grateful for explaining in laymen terms 🙏🙏🙏🙏
best Hukam explanation.
Waheguru ji 🙏
As a clarification, The Buddha left his fellow ascetics. That the mortification of the body, not just being hungry, was not a useful practice.
This is where the path of moderation, or the middle way developed, as a useful mode for living, and awakening.
This is the fourth time im watching this in over a year, and NOW i get it! lol
Guru thank you!
Thank you so much. I am finally able to learn about gurbani through you, waheguru and blessings to you and family
Excellent
🌻 STAY BLESSED 🌻 MILDE AA
Eye opening 👀

Bhaji sat shri akaal ji bhut vadiya karaj kita hai main bhut labs reha c koi explain kare te ajj tusi mil gye os parmatma di kirpa naal . Kionki bhut sare channel ne English bande sira te pagga ban ke guru bani nu mix kari ja rahe ne jida ki main ik channel video search kitiya oh ardas di line ardas bhaee Amardas guru nu hi mantra bna k gaayi ja rahe ne well lagda oh kite lost hunde ja rahe ne . Karo kuj uprala ji oh bhulle bhatak gye han after yogi bhajan singh ji de baad . Roop rekha hi badal diti onha ne
Could it also be said that: sochai, soch could also mean immersion? The act of bathing, and the act of thinking, are both forms of immersion
soch means thinking
Bhai Jee is explaining in detail why soch in this shabad refers to bathing, and the explanation makes perfect sense. Please listen again.
please you are a saint can you explain me meaning of SATNAAM AND WAHEGURU . AND WHAT IS THE NAAM GIVEN BY GURU NANAK SAHIB JI.
Thanks for your support Kalyan ji. No, there are no saints here, just servants of the Guru. There is already a video on SATNAAM which covers the meaning of NAAM. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/r7hg83jjdRU/w-d-xo.html
In future we will try to cover WAHEGURU as well.
Gurfateh.
Firstly, my heartfelt thanks for the videos I've seen so far on the explanation of the Mool Mantar.
Having looked at and read the English interpretations of Japji Sahib I've really struggled to get my head round 'hukam'.
My first question on reading Japji Sahib being "so what is the hukam"?.
To get a clearer understanding may I humbly ask you some questions?
Using say an extreme scenario of witnessing something bad happening to someone , for example , a woman being raped , what is one's hukam ?
To intervene?
To not intervene?
Is hukam to accept what has just happened ? Or accept also what is happening?
(I suppose it's trying to understand is hukam intervention and / or acceptance ?")
Apologies for the rather large comment and once again a BIG THANK YOU !
Rab Singh there is a video about this on his channel
Gurfateh, Thank you for your kind comments. There are a number of short videos that we have on Hukam which may help answer your question. Please take a look at these:
th-cam.com/video/TF-TT5oF4_E/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/oHjLTkX7zp8/w-d-xo.html
Waheguru ji wonderful video but it would be nice if you can elaborate on "it is what it is" because then the question comes why do anything? Why does the khalsa carry weapons? Why fight for the weak? Please shed more light on this. Thank you
Bhai Sahib ji, kindly share your feedback on my question above. Thank you ji
Gurfateh Ji, accepting hukam in everything is the key message here. Even if we have the determination to fight injustice, that is also part of our hukam. We can only fight if we are commanded to do so by the Divine will. So the Khalsa carries a Kirpan to be ready to accept that calling from hukam whenever it arrives.
Nanak Naam veer ji,
"Nanak likhea naal". Is Likhea different from Hukam? Is Hukam different from being? How to recognize it and distinguish from rest of the ideas provoked by basic instinct or five thieves.
Truthful is the means to the virtuous realm, the other side is the false side lack of truth, virtues have no bias or favoritism and it is a consequence of the truth , bias comes from falsehood in other words the five vices are the consequence of some sort of bias ,
Hukam Rajei chalna doest mean you let things happen you still deal with it but within the bounds of virtuous realm ; you are going to deal with the situation with understanding not hate , you are not going to let the situation or the other person turn you or bring you down to there level in other words you are not going to become hateful , you are going to deal with understanding meaning you are going to understand that there is a veil or misunderstanding or falsehood that is causing the other person to act they way he does, had it not for his falsehood, veil over his perception he wouldn't have act as such, with understanding your own actions are out of compassion and pity not hate and anger, you are never going to let others be the basis of your own nature, your own nature cannot be altered or deviated from on the basis of others actions, your actions are going to be just even though the other were not, you are going to stay just no matter how severe or badly the other treated you, your actions are going to be bound by the virtues never overshadowed by the vices
@@NanakNaam Sir can a person who dislikes his own laziness/procratination (Tamoguna) & is guilty due to this tendency/pattern of laziness can accept this nature of body as part of the Hukam ? Will people who are already filled with lots of laziness take wrong advantage of the teaching of Hukum & continue their wrong deeds & creat more mess for themselves & their families. Or is it appropriate to say that laziness or lazy people are part of hukum? What are the possibilities of people taking wrong advantage of these Godly teachings ? Im stuck here sir, kindly put some light on this.🙏
Thanks for beautiful explaining but I have little doubt, I think hukam rajayi chlna means follow you conscience voice which is called dhur(from internal) ki bani aayi .. so please clarify my doubt... Sat kartar ji

i had one question for you....does God wants people to suffer through breakups and divorces.. if yes why he want us to meet at first
because how else would u experience pain and start contemplating.... there's a shlok that says... *dukh daru sukh rog hai* meaning sadnees is the medicine and happiness is the disease... i.e pain makes u to ponder over life n truth where as happiness most of the time deludes you into fantacies or maya I'd call it.
Hi dhairya! A breakup or divorce is marked by some the best thing that ever happened to them. Sometimes suffering is the answer to guiding the individual towards the right path, direction.
Then why they say that japji sahib can help someone change fate?
Could u plz speak punjabi plz in this meaning
Name of the speaker please !! It this has transformed me deeply

Would guru nanak dev ji get the vaccine if he was here today with us?
Hi @nanak naam. i was wondering if you could make a video about the differents sects in sikhi. i dont know much and i am wondering how they are different from the true sikhi
to a certain extent everybody is a Sikh.. Hindus Muslims etc atheists.. This channel tells you what Sikhi is. Everyone is welcome to their own idea of who is or isn't a Sikh. Go and listen to their channel and make your choice and then return and tell us what you think Sikhi is. OK?
@@malmalhi007 i apologise if i sounded rude, i meant about the different sects i did not meant to offend anyone.
@@malmalhi007 i just wanted to know about the other sects
@@worldofciv3319 there are no other sects as far as I know..just pretenders
@@worldofciv3319 Muslims say we are part of them, so do Christians Jains and Buddhits.. However because we do not worship deities, Hindus call us Abrahamic Sikhs..

How does one flow with the river if in case a hukam is torture / abuse? Is struggle against evil oppression wrong? Nature has created our bodies to have reflexes. Likewise, it is but natural to fight back, go against the river, when facing evil.
*bhul chuk maaf*
The Gurus also said to fight oppression , injustice and to stand up for the weak and oppressed . They not only said that but also lived their lives fighting oppression and injustice.
good question Angana Sharma.
Sir mera ik question a k agar koi person mere naal bura krda a ohh v hukm da part a ? Ki mainu hukm mnana chaida a ? Please answer me . If govt or other our system doing wrong with us is it hukm if no so wt v should do
That's not part of Hukm. When someone does a bad deed, he/she is going against hukm. You can see how Guru Tegh Bahadur ji and Guru Gobind Singh ji fought against Mughal oppression, they did not accept it as divine mandate.
what does one have to do to become a sikh?
Listen to, study and practice the Guroos Teachings, i.e by deeply listening to contemplations and explanations of Gurbani such as in this video as a start.
waheguru ji ka khalasa waheguru ji ki fateh, please be kind to correct me bec i dont want to get anything wrong, there are so many sites writing about.
sochai soch na hova-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.
By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.
This is what I found, pls don't take me wrong I just want to be sure about the actual meaning
Bhai Jee is explaining in detail why soch in this shabad refers to bathing, and the explanation makes perfect sense. Please listen again.

Truthful is the means to the virtuous realm, the other side is the false side lack of truth, virtues have no bias or favoritism and it is a consequence of the truth , bias comes from falsehood in other words the five vices are the consequence of some sort of bias ,
Hukam Rajei chalna doest mean you let things happen you still deal with it but within the bounds of virtuous realm ; you are going to deal with the situation with understanding not hate , you are not going to let the situation or the other person turn you or bring you down to there level in other words you are not going to become hateful , you are going to deal with understanding meaning you are going to understand that there is a veil or misunderstanding or falsehood that is causing the other person to act they way he does, had it not for his falsehood, veil over his perception he wouldn't have act as such, with understanding your own actions are out of compassion and pity not hate and anger, you are never going to let others be the basis of your own nature, your own nature cannot be altered or deviated from on the basis of others actions, your actions are going to be just even though the other were not, you are going to stay just no matter how severe or badly the other treated you, your actions are going to be bound by the virtues never overshadowed by the vices
understanding or dealing the situation with understanding means regardless of how severely/badly the other treated you , you are still going to stay just in your actions , you are not going to turn into a hateful person, what I mean by this is that any bad action is the cause of some sort misunderstanding or bias or error in judgement or failure to see/veil over there understanding (Sooji) so how can you hate the person it wasn't his fault he acted out of his falsehood but deep down he is human , in him virtues were overshadowed with the vices (parda) you can reference kabirs salok here (tu tu karta tu huia Muj mai raha na hu ) I can understand where the other person came from or how the other persons actions were the victim of his falsehood (ahka parda utth gia tad dehka tad tu), how can I hate anyone everywhere I look it's you , so when you act against the mad man you deal with it out of compassion , you stay within the bound of the virtuous domain unaffected by the vices not getting entangled in the moment ,
This just confused me in the end!!
Your grammar and language knowledge is gratefully received Sir and it is a great gift to share it with us. However, please only translate what is written. By adding your point of view you are showing that you do not understand Hukkam and you are gravely misleading the people. Sorry to be unsupportive but your conclusion here is way off the mark.
but they chose the GURMUKH WAY. THANKS
The word soch in the sense of cleaning seems to come from Sanskrit word ‘shauch’. This word also appears in Patanjali’s Yogashastra.
Thanks for your explanations.
soch means thinking, thinking thousand time does not help in meditation, it's surt that leads us parth of spirituality, thinking is just one part of mind, mind has to listen to shabad , thinking can apart mind in two parts , why there is wrong definition of this shabad or pauri.
Bhai Jee is explaining in detail why soch in this shabad refers to bathing, and the explanation makes perfect sense. Please listen again.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Thanks
