The Commencing Verse Of The Aad Guru Granth Sahib

Prof Devinder Singh Chahal, PhD

FEATURE ARTICLE:
ABSTRACT

The Commencing Verse of the AGGS, commonly called as Mool Mantra, has been interpreted scientifically and logically for the first time. New interpretation indicates that ੴ should be pronounced as "Ik + Oh + Beant". ੴ is entirely a new word of its own kind, coined by Guru Nanak for the first time. It has no comparison or connotation with Om or any other word from Vedas or Upanishads. The whole verse is the most precise and concise definition of the Almighty.
