Gurutej Kaur graduaded from the University Of California in Berkeley as an English major. Onkar Singh for his beautiful voice and expertise in Gurmukhi pronunciation. This CD is a project Yogi Bhajan said I should "pursue" – a recording with each line, the Gurmukhi and the meaning, together in rhythm.
"Japji Sahib" is meant to be sung, as is the entire Siri Guru Granth Sahib. I came to write this translation in rhythm and rhyme to try to get a bit closer, in English, to the feeling of the rhyming poetry. When he emerged, he had an ethereal light in His eyes, and he spoke the beautiful poetry that is "Japji Sahib." How beautiful to say the words as he did at that moment! Three days later, in the midst of funeral preparations for him, he walked out of the river. His attendant saw Him go under the water and not come up. Guru Nanak first recited "Japji Sahib" after going into the river. This puts the mind directly in the sound current and vibration of Guru, the teacher. Soon, I, along with others who came to love these prayers, we were reading in the Gurmukhi as originally written. I felt it was the most profound and beautiful writing I had ever read. I remember when I first read "Japji Sahib " it was in Peace Lagoon, a translation by Sardarni Premka Kaur. It was there that I first heard of the Sikh Gurus and became familiar with the beautiful writings of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. It was after the tumult of the sixties, when I was looking for peace of mind and answers to life’ s questions, that I came to an ashram taught by students of Yogi Bhajan.
