Following the release of two sets of Savaiye Mukhbakya I & II revealed by Guru Arjan Sahib, The Guru Granth Sahib Project now begins a series of releases covering the complete Bhattan De Savaiye, or the Savaiyas composed by the Bhatts.
The Guru Granth Sahib Project is pleased to announce the annotation of Savaiye Mahale Pahile Ke, the savaiyas composed in the praise of Guru Nanak Sahib. These ten savaiays were composed by Bhatt Kalya Ji, one of eleven poet-bards whose compositions are included in the Guru Granth Sahib.

In this couplet, Guru Amardas Sahib exposes the pretension within us: claiming to know without experience is imposture. Just as only one who has walked on the moon can truly describe it, only through lived experience can we speak of the Divine Command of IkOankar (One Creative and Pervasive Force, 1Force, the One).
Preaching without practice, he warns, becomes a poisonous noose that suffocates the Light-force within and misleads others. In a world of endless data and easy sharing, are we spreading truth or abstraction? Are we tying nooses or cutting them?

The third pauri (stanza) of Ramkali Ki Var teaches us that the being who lives in accordance with the command of the Guru (Wisdom) becomes honorable. The being who becomes a seeker of Nam (Identification) at the door of the Guru, their face becomes radiant by virtue of the eternal Nam and Wisdom (Guru).

The word ‘tantra’ refers to magical or occult practices, often involving rituals performed with items such as vermilion, turmeric, lentils, rice, etc. However, in the Guru Granth Sahib, such practices are rendered unnecessary, and the Nam (Identification) of IkOankar (the Divine) is revealed as the true ‘tantra.’

In this couplet, Guru Amardas Sahib, using the letter ਜ (jajjā, #13), delivers a wake-up call: anyone who lets their consciousness be robbed is a fool. Our consciousness is the light of IkOankar (One Creative and Pervasive Force, 1Force, the One), guiding us through this world. But when we fixate on degrees, accolades, and titles while neglecting Sabad, we suffocate the spark of this light.
Caught in ignorance, we drift through cycles of birth and death, consumed by vices, missing the richness of true purpose. This light is our torch in the darkness—without it, what debts can we settle and what burdens can we release?

In the first pauri (stanza) of Ramkali Ki Var, there is a narration of Guru Nanak Sahib transferring the Guruship to Bhai Lahina Ji (later Guru Angad Sahib) during his lifetime.
Also stated in the pauri is that the being whose name is made renowned by IkOankar (the Divine), their utterances are precious. The divine virtues are deeply connected with the eternal Nam (Divine Identification). The being who acquires these virtues attains the highest spiritual state of freedom.

Most characters used to transcribe Gurmukhi into English follow a universal linguistic system.
What about Gurmukhi letters without an equivalent in the Roman alphabet?
The Guru Granth Sahib Project team applies symbols comparable to a character with an associable sound in order to represent those letters.

In this couplet, Guru Amardas Sahib, using the letter ਬ (babbā, #28), critiques those who misguidedly claim to know the path to IkOankar (One Creative and Pervasive Force, 1Force, the One)—the self-proclaimed experts, Pandits, and protectors of faiths.
Blindfolded by ignorance, we give advice without discernment, adding to our own accounts of deeds while leading others astray. A true teacher must embody what they share. If we are not yet worthy, can we guide others on paths we ourselves do not know?

In the fifth stanza of Vanjara, the being is encouraged to reflect on IkOankar (the Divine), emphasizing that IkOankar is realized through Wisdom (Guru). Those who experience IkOankar come to understand that the entire creation originates from IkOankar.
Through the Nam (Identification) of IkOankar, one attains profound intellect and an elevated spiritual state. It is through connection with Nam alone that human life becomes supreme and honorable.

In the third stanza of Vanjara, the seeker is advised to develop a love for the Nam (Identification) of IkOankar (the Divine). The guidance offered is to contemplate the Nam while one’s breath is still flowing, to make use of one’s time on earth.
The blessings received through the contemplation of Nam are described. But only those beings contemplate Nam, who have received this blessing from the court of IkOankar. Through the Wisdom (Guru), the being makes their life fruitful in this world through the contemplation of Nam.
