'Sadd' refers to an invitation, a call, or a heartfelt cry, particularly within the Panjabi culture, where it invokes the imagery of calling out loudly to a loved one. When Guru Amardas Sahib (1479-1574 CE) realized that the time had come for him to leave the earthly realm, he sent an invitation to his family and disciples, conveying the message of his departure as per the call from IkOankar (the Divine).
