In four directions, extends Own strength,
and places the Hand on the head.
Glance of grace bestowed, votary’s pain ended. 1.
All-Pervasive, Guru the Earth-Force, protected the servants.
Compassionate, forgiving Being embraces,
and erases all vices. Reflect.
Whatever is asked from the Ruler, that’s what is given.
Whatever Nanak the votary utters from the mouth,
becomes eternal here and there. 2.

A reflective meditation by Inni Kaur on the prayer “Grant me the gift of Nam,” exploring longing, grace, and inner transformation.
Guru Nanak Sahib (1469-1539 CE) witnessed the destruction caused by Babur with his own eyes and vividly depicted the scenes of destruction in his Bani. These revolutionary Sabads revealed by the Guru that depict pain and empathy are known as ‘Babarvani’.
Within the Guru Granth Sahib, the term 'mudavani' or 'mundavani' appears in two saloks: one by Guru Amardas Sahib and one by Guru Arjan Sahib. Collectively, these saloks serve as a key to understanding the core message of the Guru Granth Sahib.
