As I explore, investigate and introspect my very essence, existence and understanding of my ultimate self, I decided to do ‘Naam Simran’ to allow me to tap into the god-consciousness, and open myself to receive Divine blessing, grace, guidance, wisdom and inspiration to walk up to my guru’s gate, stay true to their teachings, pray for myself, my family and others, as I undertake this deeply personal and transformative journey.
I decided to do this with Nirinjan Kaur’s rendition of the ‘Waheguru Simran’. She has such an angelic and open ‘Naad’ voice! I can vouch that immediately to listening to her rhythmic and meditative simran of ‘Wahe Guru’, I felt uplifted me, filled my soul with ecstasy, opened my heart-center, and made me sing. Like a cup of warm milk, I felt instant alignment with the Divine vibration! Thank you Nirinjan Kaur Bhenji for this simran. You are divine blessing for me to start this journey!

‘Naam Simran’ is a cornerstone of Sikh spiritual practice, and is considered higher than simply meditating and chanting! Perhaps the best explanation I found is from Late Yogiji Harbhajan Singh Khalsa of 3HO, who explained it to be a state of self-crucification, self-exaltation, and sublimity, where the fineness and refinement of the Divine ‘sound or vibration’ surrounds, envelops and embraces us all, to be understood, felt, enjoyed and acknowledged. It’s an essence that allows us to tap into own exalted self! So profound! Thank you Harbhajan Singh Yogiji.
