Guru Nanak Dev Jee and the Mool Mantar 1.Guru Nanak Dev Jee worked as a store keeper in Sultanpur Lodhi. His daily routine would be to wake up in the early hours of the morning and bathe in the River Bein. After their bath, they would spend many hours praying and meditating under a tree. Guru Jee would then go to work and even whilst working their focus would be on Vaheguru. 2.In the evenings Guru Jee would sit with the sangat and discuss the virtues of God. 3.One morning Guru Nanak Dev Jee went to bathe in the river as normal. Bhai Mardana Jee always accompanied Guru Sahib and would wait for them to return after their bath. A few hours passed and this time Guru Jee did not return. Bhai Mardana Jee called out for Guru Jee but their was no reply. 4.Bhai Mardana Jee went back to the village and told the villagers about what had happened. The Newab of Sultanpur loved Guru Jee dearly and sent out a search party to look for Him. Guru Jee was nowhere to be found. 5.Everyone gave up hope and thought that Guru Nanak Dev Jee had drowned. Bibi Nanaki Jee (Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s elder sister) had complete faith in her brother and refused to believe that He had drowned. She recognised that He was the light that had come to guide people on to the true path and save the world. 6.After three days, Guru Nanak Dev Jee appeared from the river with a heavenly glow about them. Everyone was very happy to see Guru Jee. 7.Guru Nanak Dev Jee spent the three days with Vaheguru. During this time Guru Jee asked Vaheguru how to explain God and His qualities to the people of the world. Vaheguroo replied with the Mool Mantar.

Hands Up: We’ve learnt the meanings of the Mool Mantar but why is it important to pronounce bani correctly? The tenth King Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Jee was at Sri Anandpur Sahib delivering His Sikhs to Sachkhand. A Gursikh who would complete his daily prayer of the Panj Granthi (a collection of prayers from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee) with love and respect made a mistake. The Gursikh was made to realise that Gurbani is an ang (limb) of Guru Jee, and making a mistake while reciting Gurbani is like hurting Guru Ji. Following this Pyare Bhai Daya Singh, along with other respected Gursikhs requested the following to Guru Jee. "Oh keeper of the poor! Bless us with the understanding of Gurbani. Without an understanding we don't whether what we do is correct or incorrect."

Homework Homework: Using your CDs listen to Mool Mantar and practise the correct pronunciations Be ready to share next lesson Remember we are ALL learning so don’t be afraid...if you make a mistake do an ardaas to maharaj and ask him to help. Keep the message of why correct pronunciation is important in your heart and complete this homework with full love and then see what happens
