WJKK WJKF.....
I have a child who I am teaching the Mool Mantar first to recite in Punjabi and soon as he grows, he will need to have understanding of what he is reciting (for I believe this is the singly greatest mistake Sikh parents don't do as compared to muslims even to a small degree.)
It is often stated by Sikh Scholars that the essence of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings (and in effect Sikhism's) was in the Mool Mantar and everything is related to it.
Also interpretation is obviously subjective but below is what I am comfortable with (though for my child it will be simplified again)
Please read and share:
In the name of
The one God Ik Onkar
Whose name is Truth. Satnam
The Creator. Karta
Who is present in all Creation Purakh
Who fears none. Nirbhao
Who hates none. Nirvair
An immortal being beyond time. Akal Murat
Unborn Ajuni
Self existent Saibhang
attainable only through divine grace. Gur Prasad
Meditate. Jap
True in the Beginning. Ad Sach
True throughout the Ages. Jugad Sach
True even Now. Hai be Sach
says Nanak,Truth will always be here. Nanak, hosi be Sach
