What is Raga? - Importance of Raags in spirituality & meditation
What is Raag? What is Raga? And how can it be used as a spiritual practice in meditation?
The meaning of Rag is emotion and when combined with the Guru's wisdom and Divine name (Naam) it is used as a spiritual practice with the Sikh tradition as a meditation.
Guru Ram Das Ji says: ਸਭਨਾ ਰਾਗਾਂ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੋ ਭਲਾ ਭਾਈ ਜਿਤੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥ Sabhanaa Raagaan Vich So Bhalaa Bhaaee Jith Vasiaa Man Aae || Among all Ragas, that one is sublime, O Siblings of Destiny, by which the Lord comes to abide in the mind.

Many people ask the question 'If God exists then why do bad things happen in my life?' or 'Why do bad things happen to good people?'
Satpal Singh explores the good and bad, good and evil, as well as the importance of acceptance of universal law, natural law or divine flow known as 'Hukam' in spirituality.
The following verses are explained:
ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਸਾਜੇ ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਢਾਹੇ ਪੁਛਿ ਨ ਦੇਵੈ ਲੇਇ ॥
puchh na saaje puchh na ddaahe puchh na dhevai lei ||
It seeks no advice when creating; it seeks no advice when destroying. It seeks no advice while giving or taking.
ਆਪਣੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਣੁ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
aapanee kudharat aape jaanai aape karan karei ||
It alone knows its creative power; It itself does all deeds.
ਸਭਨਾ ਵੇਖੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੈ ਦੇਇ ॥੪॥
sabhanaa vekhai nadhar kar jai bhaavai tai dhei ||4||
It behold and sees all. It gives to those with whom it is pleased. ||4||
ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
ਦੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਮੰਧੇ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਸਗਲਾਣਾ ॥
dhukirat sukirat ma(n)dhe sa(n)saar sagalaanaa ||
The whole world is engrossed in bad deeds and good deeds.
ਦੁਹਹੂੰ ਤੇ ਰਹਤ ਭਗਤੁ ਹੈ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਜਾਣਾ ॥੧॥
dhuhahoo(n) te rahat bhagat hai koiee viralaa jaanaa ||1||
The devotee is above both, but those who understand this are very rare. ||1||
ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਸਰਬੇ ਸਮਾਣਾ ॥
Thaakur sarabe samaanaa ||
The Master is pervading in all.
ਕਿਆ ਕਹਉ ਸੁਣਉ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੂੰ ਵਡ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸੁਜਾਣਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
kiaa kahau sunau suaamee too(n) vadd purakh sujaanaa ||1|| rahaau ||
What should I say and hear, O Master? You are the Great, all-knowing being. ||1||Pause||

How do we come to a place in our lives where we start to feel consistently better about everything and life starts to feel peace, joyful and blissful (Anand)?
Journey with us in this Anand Sahib Katha explanation video series (English katha) to learn Anand Sahib (English translation and meaning) and explore how the composition of Anand Sahib (in English), written by Guru Amar Das Ji relates to everyday life and gives answers to the meaning of life and how to find purpose in life.
