Here’s something new that I just did in the last half-hour — made a YouTube video of a shabad, so anyone can watch and learn.

You can view the full shabad and translation here on SikhiToTheMax: Jap Man Satnam

Here’s how it works — the asthai (the refrain) is “Jap Man Satnam, Sada Satnam, satnam, satnam, satnam, satnam”

The antra is in two parts - 1) “Eccha purakh sarab sukhdata har,” and 2) “ja ke vas hai kaamdena.”
All other lines are sung like the antra, except, “Jeh har simran bhaiya, teh oopad gat keeni, nit dhiaye har purakh niranjana” which is actually split into two part 1’s — and then a part 2.

Why did I choose this shabad? My aunt in Kenya wanted to learn it. :) So what does it mean? Well, the shabad is written by Guru Ram Dass, and in it, he asks that his mind (’man’) always be focused on the True Name (’satnam’).

Anyway let me know if you actually use this video to learn and perform the shabad. I also take requests. ;)
