English Translation Details

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

Today’s hukamnamma is by Bhagat Namdev Ji. This shabad is in the tilaang raag, and has a feeling of praising the Almighty master, of praising this great Lord who is beyond the reach of our intellect.

"Mai anDhulay kee tayk tayraa naam khundkaaraa."

"Andhulay" means blind. I am blind. But I have support. Your name, the "name" is my support. "Kundkaaraa" means anchor. Your name anchors me in this world. You name supports me like an anchor, so I don’t drift away in the maya. I am blind, I have "no gian" no knowledge of spirituality, but your name is my anchor, suporting me. I am nothing, just as in Rehraas, "Mai nirgunay aray ko gun nahee, apeh taras peho-ee."
