The suffixed - i can indicate the possessive case in compounds (as in sat i nāmu), and the locative (as in ād i and jugād i) or instrumental case as in gura prāsad i these terms would be ād u, jugād u, and prasād u if taking the direct case. The suffixed - a can indicate the masculine vocative case, as in Nānak a, the masculine singular oblique case in compounds as in gur a prasādi, and a feminine singular direct adjective as in akal a, as well as the masculine plural direct case and the feminine singular direct case. This suffix can also indicate an imperative when attached to a verb, as in jap u. In the Mūl Mantar, the suffixed - u indicates nouns and adjectives in the masculine singular direct case, though some words ending with - ā (like karat ā) can also indicate this case. The archaic language of the Guru Granth Sahib is highly inflected the suffixed short vowels parenthesized above indicate various declensions. Illuminated Adi Granth folio with Mūl Mantar of Guru Gobind Singh
The extended version with the Jap verse is: Gurmukhi The word mūl means "root, main or "fundamental." The Mūl Mantar is thus "root formula", or the root statement of Sikhism. The essential elements of the mantar are found in Guru Nanak's compositions, the various epithets he used for Akal Purakh (Ultimate Reality).Ī mantar means "formula, succinct doctrinal or sacred words with spiritual meaning". It existed in many versions in the 16th-century before it was given its final form by Guru Arjan in the 17th century. The verse is repeated in the Sikh scripture before numerous Shabad, or hymns.
It is rather "Guru Nanak's mystical awareness of the one that is expressed through the many." The remaining ten words after the first two are literally translated as true name, the creator, without fear, without hate, timeless in form, beyond birth, self-existent, (known by) the grace of Guru.
The general view favors the monotheistic interpretation, but not the Semitic understanding of monotheism. Some consider it monotheistic, others monist. Sometimes the disagreements include capitalizing g in god, or r in reality, which affects the implied meaning in English. These are rendered as "There is one god", "One reality is", "This being is one" and others. It has been variously translated, with the interpretation of the first two words particularly contested. They summarize the essential teaching of Guru Nanak, thus constituting a succinct doctrinal statement of Sikhism. It consists of twelve words in the Punjabi language, written in Gurmukhi script, and are the most widely known among the Sikhs.
The Mūl Mantar ( Punjabi: ਮੂਲ ਮੰਤਰ, IPA: ) is the opening verse of the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.
