Har Har Har n japas rasnaa – Raag Maroo – Ang 1106

SGGS Angg 1106.

Raag Maroo (Maru) –  Bhagat Ravidas Ji.

Bhagat Ji tells us about the Glory of God, and His Name.

God is the Ocean of Peace, the Miraculous Tree of Life. The Wish Fulfilling Jewel, and the Wish Fulfilling (legendary) Cow are all under His Power; the four great blessings (dharam, arth, kaam and mokh), the great eight miraculous powers, and the nine treasures are in the Palm of His Hand.

“Sukh Sagar Surtar Chintaman Kamdhen bass ja ke re; char padarath astt maha sidh nav nidh kar talh ta ke.”

In the rahao, Guru Ji instructs the tongue. Why do you not repeatedly chant the Lord’s Name?; abandon all other devices and compositions.

“Har Har Har n japas rasnaa; avar sabh chadh bachan rachnaa.” (rahao).

The many epics, the Puranas and Vedas are composed of the 34 letters of the alphabet. (Sanskrit has 32 vowels and 34 consonants. Bhagat Ji is making reference to the 34 consonants – a consonant is a letter that represents a sound); after deep reflection, Byasa (author of the Mahabrata and various Puranas) spoke this Supreme Truth, that there is nothing equal to the Lord’s Name.

“Nana khyan Puran baho bidh chautis ashar mahi; Byaas bichar kehiyo parmarath Ram Naam sar nahi.”

The very fortunate ones who lovingly focus on the Lord in deep meditation, their troubles are eliminated; Ravidas says the Lord’s slave stays detached from the world and his fears of births and death are eliminated from his mind.

“Sahaj samadh upaadh rehat hoye badey bhaag liv lagee; kahe Ravidas udaas dass mat janam maran bhey bhagee.”
