English Translation Details

The Hukamnama today is in the Jaitsaree Raag. Raag Jaitsaree is the raag of serious longing, serious dependence on the creator Lord. This raag acknowledges how we can not exist without Waheguru Ji.

Today’s hukamnamma is the beginning of the Jaitsaree vaar, which is completely written by Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj. This is a vaar which is written with saloks. Some vaars are an accumulation of pauris, but this vaar has saloks in it also. The interpretation of some Sikh scholars is that these saloks at the beginning of the vaar are like the beginning of the shabad, and in the pauris, the saloks are explained. The saloks are like the middle of the flower, and the pauris are like petals radiating out from the centre.
