Ajaapa jaap ! 24*7

[ratikala]

namaste chinu ji

@ what is "Ajaapa jaap" ?
Jaap means.. to chant,
Ajaap means.. not to chant,
Ajaapa jaap means.. the one which is being chanted without being chanted.

Thus.. when refering to "Ajaapa jaap" GURBANI is refering to get an connection with this "Ajaapa jaap" or "Divine Sound" or "Word" which is preasent inside everybody. this "Ajaapa jaap" is the subject of listening insted of chanting.

reminds me of the nine steps of bhakti , ...

Shravanam- listening,
Keertanam- singing in praise .
Smaranam- Remembering god
Paad sevanam- Offering service to guru ,to temple and comunity
Archanam- Performing pooja offerings of respect to god and good people.
Vandanam- homage to the feet of the lord.
Daasyam- continual Selfless service to god.
Sakhyam- loving friendship with god , without thought for personal gain .
Atmanivedanam- total surrender to god .

blue I think is particularly relevent to this discussion

Ahh ,... but maya is there to test you , but still you " keep the mind on the kite strings"

it is what we are calling ahamkara , this false sence of self we should renounce ,
it is thie that binds us to maya and prevents us from seeing the lords lotus feet .

"It is not the season to plant other seeds."
exactly the same was said by lord chaitanya mahaprabhu "in this age of kali yuga we should chant the holy names of the lord "
"O mortal, this is the season of the Naam. "

"Nanak utters the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har."

now I would very much like a translation for this :namaste

(even better for me is transliteration then I can understand word for word )

sat sri akaal
:namaste

 

[GURSIKH]

it is what we are calling ahamkara , this false sence of self we should renounce ,

ya well said Rati ji , i too wanna add few words ,


those who are attached to Naam/Name there is always spring/joy inside .



Ḏekẖ(see/behold) fūl(flower) fūl(flower) fūle(blossomed) .
Ahaʼn (ego) ṯi▫āg(renounce) ṯi▫āge (renounce).

Dekh (watch/see/behold) ,ie remove the viel of Aham from your eyes ,there is spring /blossoming of flowers around .

Basanṯ(spring) ruṯ(season) ā▫ī (came).
The pleasant season of spring has come;

An(other) rūṯ(season) nāhī((no ) nāhī(no).
There is no other season

Maṯ(not) bẖaram(delusion) bẖūlahu(lost) bẖūlahu(lost).
Do not wander lost in doubt and delusion.


another thing which makes this shabad very special from Raaga point of view is repetetion of few words .such as

fūl fūl .
ṯi▫āg ṯi▫āge
bovhu bovhu.
nāhī nāhī.
bẖūlahu bẖūlahu.
har hare har hare.







will reply later abt Chardi kla Vid ,as internet now is very slow not playing Youtube .

Laughing and playing, I came to Your Temple, O Lord.
While Naam Dayv was worshipping, he was grabbed and driven out. ||1||
This Shabad is by Bhagat Naam Dev Ji in Raag Bhairao on Pannaa 1164 I am of a low social class, O Lord;
why was I born into a family of fabric dyers? ||1||Pause||
I picked up my blanket and went back,
to sit behind the temple. ||2||
As Naam Dayv uttered the Glorious Praises of the Lord,
the temple turned around to face the Lord's humble devotee. ||3||6||

this story is so nice it reminds me very much of the stories of 'caitanya mahaprabhu' , he was angry that only the brahmins were allowed to chant , so he gave birth to the sankirtan movement (gaudia vaisnava)and gave naam to every one :bow:

You, God, are the Giver of gifts, the Lord of perfect understanding; I am a mere beggar at Your Door.
Mai ki▫ā māga▫o kicẖẖ thir na rahā▫ī har ḏījai nām pi▫ārī jī▫o. ||1||
What should I beg for? Nothing remains permanent; O Lord, please, bless me with Your Beloved Name. ||1||

In each and every heart, the Lord, is permeating and pervading.
Jal thal mahī▫al gupṯo varṯai gur sabḏī ḏekẖ nihārī jī▫o. Rahā▫o.
In the water, on the land, and in the sky, He is pervading but hidden; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is revealed. ||Pause||
Maraṯ pa▫i▫āl akās ḏikẖā▫i▫o gur saṯgur kirpā ḏẖārī jī▫o.
In this world, in the nether regions of the underworld, and in the Akaashic Ethers, the Guru, the True Guru, has shown me the Lord; He has showered me with His Mercy.
So barahm ajonī hai bẖī honī gẖat bẖīṯar ḏekẖ murārī jī▫o. ||2||
He is the unborn Lord God; He is, and shall ever be. Deep within your heart, behold Him, the Destroyer of ego. ||2||
Janam maran ka▫o ih jag bapuṛo in ḏūjai bẖagaṯ visārī jī▫o.
This wretched world is caught in birth and death; in the love of duality, it has forgotten devotional worship of the Lord.
Saṯgur milai ṯa gurmaṯ pā▫ī▫ai sākaṯ bājī hārī jī▫o. ||3||
Meeting the True Guru, the Guru's Teachings are obtained; the faithless cynic loses the game of life. ||3||

Breaking my bonds, the True Guru has set me free, and I shall not be cast into the womb of reincarnation again.

"Singing His Glorious Praises brings peace and bliss."

This is most certainly true , even listening to others singing , even with my not understanding fully , still it brings bliss .


Servant Nanak loves the Blessed Vision of the Lord; in His Mercy, God has blessed him with it.

so beautifull :namaste


..... when summer comes we climb the hills away from the village and away from maya ,....we can look out over the temporary existance man has carved out for himself in the valeys , ...and the great expance and beauty of the landscape leaves one in awe , and to think that this beauty is but a minute portion of the lords spendor ,:namaste
