Explore Barah Maha (Mahala 5): https://bit.ly/barah-maha-m5-podcast

On 14 March, in celebration of the Nanakshahi Sikh New Year, The Guru Granth Sahib Project released the annotation of Barah Maha, a powerful composition revealed by Guru Arjan Sahib in Rag Majh. This musical mode beautifully captures the emotions of separation, longing, and the deep yearning for union with IkOankar (the Divine).

As sensitive beings, we are constantly influenced by the world around us—its changing seasons, its natural beauty. Yet, while nature often brings joy, for those aware of their separation, it can also intensify feelings of loss. Barah Maha speaks to this delicate interplay between the external world and our internal emotions.

Listen as we explore the depth of this composition, its meaning, and its relevance in our lives today.

In this Sabad, Bhagat Ramanand Ji highlights the significance of remembering the all-pervading IkOankar (the Divine) rather than worshipping the idol of any deity. He asserts that since IkOankar is omnipresent, there is no need to visit specific pilgrimage sites to show devotion to IkOankar.

Thiti refers to a lunar calendar day, counted from the first to the fifteenth day based on the moon's phases. As a poetic form, Thiti is structured around the fifteen lunar days of the Indic calendar months.
