What is Gurbani?

Gurbani is composed of two words: 'Gur' and 'Bani'. Gur has multiple meanings 
depending on context. In Guru Granth Sahib, Gur is used for multiple meanings, 
as per context of the hymn. The common use of Gur is either for wisdom and internal 
conscious mind (referred to as Chitta or Antar Atma). Thereby Gurbani either means 
the speech of wisdom or the speech of conscious mind.

It is a Sikh term, very commonly used by Sikhs to refer to various compositions by 
the Sikh Gurus and other writers of Guru Granth Sahib. In general, hymns in the 
central text of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib called Gurbani. Gurbani is also 
referred to as Dhur Ki Bani (the speech from the Supreme house). It is also consi-
dered as a source of spiritual knowledge which illuminates the mind and gives 
internal bliss. The one who comprehends Gurbani is also described as an Amritdhari. 
Gurbani is a source of truth with which the internal filth and sins get eradicated 
and one who finds Gurbani sweet is in supreme state.

Talking about recent times, it was a shabad sung by veteran Punjabi Singer Gurdas Maan  ‘Mittar Pyare Nu’ that touched our hearts. How much ever you may even try to describe the efforts made by people to construct a video on Gurbani Shabad, it is simply indescribable. Yet, another singer who has made a mesmerizing effort on another Gurbani Shabad is 'Taau Khasme Milna' by Babbu Maan. The Shabad has been sung by Babbu Maan, he himself has also constructed the music to which he has sung the Shabad. The video has been conceptualized and directed by Kohinoor Singh. Sung beautifully the video comprises of a story on how the path of truthfulness is full of virtues and positivity.
