Divine Names

As the Gurbani reminds us that, “the tongue utters Your (Divine) many made names, but Nam, your Being is true and is existent from the beginning (and beyond designates).” This informs us that the names appearing in the Gurbani are only adjectival that relate to one certain quality of the Divine Being among the infinite; these are only based on the experience or a context of a particular passage.

Lav

Revealed by Guru Ramdas Sahib in rag Suhi, the Bani of Lav is mostly known and associated with the ceremony of marriage. The Bani itself is rarely read and interpreted independently; most often than not we usually look for directions for a conjugal relationship in it. While that is also a good practice, but in doing so, we ignore the significance of the Bani and its original message that sets the path and the step to a lasting and blissful relationship with the Divine.
