    Japji: Meditation in Sikhism

    Japji is a cardinal prayer in Sikhism that was originally scripted by Guru Nanak Dev, the first Satguru in the line of ten Sikh gurus. Primarily chanted at the beginning of the Granth Sahib, this prayer is commonly used during initiation and cremation ceremonies.

    In order to make it accessible to a Western audience, Swami Rama translates this holy Sikh scripture into English verses, and includes detailed commentary on Sikhism and Japji. Purchase your copy of Japji: Meditation in Sikhism and discover the meaning and value behind this sacred prayer.

    Reviews

    "Swami Rama has deep insight into the Infinite. His personal attainment is visible in every stanza. This exposition with Japji Sahib as its basis will shed light for all times to come. It will impart solace. It will impart love."
    –Justice Pritam Singh Safeer

    "Swami Rama's translation of Japji not only rhymes well but also retains the essence of the original. An inspired soul, Swami Rama has made a successful attempt to project to the world Guru Nanak's essentially spiritual and elevating message, which I am sure will help in promoting universal brotherhood and removing barriers created in the name of religion."
    – Dr. Mohinder Singh, Director, Guru Nanak Institute for Comparative Study of Religion, New Delhi, India

    "Swami Rama is not only gifted with a metric expression that I evidenced in each and every word of this masterly rendering, but also has a mantric vision to support his expression."
    – Dr. I. Panduranga Rao, Director, Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad

    About Swami Rama

    One of the greatest adepts, teachers, writers, and humanitarians of the 20th century, Swami Rama (1925–1996) is the founder of the Himalayan Institute. Born in northern India, he was raised from early childhood by the Himalayan sage, Bengali Baba. Under the guidance of his master, he traveled from monastery to monastery and studied with a variety of Himalayan saints and sages, including his grandmaster, who was living in a remote region of Tibet.

    In addition to this intense spiritual training, Swami Rama received higher education in both India and Europe. From 1949 to 1952, he held the prestigious position of Shankaracharya of Karvirpitham in South India. Thereafter, he returned to his master to receive further training at his cave monastery, and finally, in 1969, came to the United States, where he founded the Himalayan Institute.

    His best-known work, Living with the Himalayan Masters, reveals the many facets of this singular adept and demonstrates his embodiment of the living tradition of the East.
