Artist's Notes
“In the company of Saints, the sense that ‘I exist’ is lost, and then EkOnkar, One Universal Vibration, is seen everywhere.”
– Guru Arjun Dev ji (Guru Granth Sahib, 189)
The foundation of the world is Ek Onkar and the basis of Sikh principles is the Mool Mantra.
With Guru Nanak Dev ji’s Grace, Bhagat Singh’s painting attempts to capture a small glimmer of the effulgence of the One Universal Vibration, whom we know as Ek Onkar.
Below the symbol of Ek Onkar, we find Guru Nanak Dev ji’s Mool Mantra, the Foundational Principles, hand-written by the artist.
It reads as follows –
ੴ
One Universal Vibration
ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ
Truth is Its Name
ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ
Creative Being
ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ
Without Fear, Without Enmity
ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ
Timeless Idol
ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ
Beyond Birth, Self-Existent
ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ
