"Naad" ( Punjabi ਨਾਦੰ ) means "the cosmic sound" or "vibrations of the cosmos". Gurbani says that: "Sing the Glorious Praises of the Immaculate True Lord forever, and the Immaculate Sound-current of the Naad shall vibrate within." (SGGS p 121) The sound of the Cosmos can resonate within if one "tunes into this energy". Only by following the rules of nature and realising the patterns and disciplines of the cosmos can one find this hidden energy of internal sound. Only through meditation, external singing and reciting can the bombardment of random noise in the mind be subdued. This internal noise that normally overwhelms the mind can be silenced and one can enjoy and hear the "anhad Naad" ("unheard sound"); this is sound of the cosmos within the mind. It is not to be confused with external v

  • "Naad" ( Punjabi ਨਾਦੰ ) means "the cosmic sound" or "vibrations of the cosmos". Gurbani says that: "Sing the Glorious Praises of the Immaculate True Lord forever, and the Immaculate Sound-current of the Naad shall vibrate within." (SGGS p 121) The sound of the Cosmos can resonate within if one "tunes into this energy". Only by following the rules of nature and realising the patterns and disciplines of the cosmos can one find this hidden energy of internal sound. Only through meditation, external singing and reciting can the bombardment of random noise in the mind be subdued. This internal noise that normally overwhelms the mind can be silenced and one can enjoy and hear the "anhad Naad" ("unheard sound"); this is sound of the cosmos within the mind. It is not to be confused with external vibrations - Naad is vibration within the mind. To start these internal harmonies one needs to recite melodies with their own voice; the singing of Gurbani kirtan or mantra will invoke the internal symphonies. The Guru tells us: "Repeating the Naam, the Unstruck Sound-current of the Naad resounds."" (SGGS p 1144) The external melodies resonate and "kick start" the Naad within. Also, Gurbani reminds us to: "Sing the Sweet Ambrosial Praises of the Lord's Kirtan; day and night, the Sound-current of the Naad will resonate and resound." (SGGS p 1219) When on engages in the Lord's praises and sings in remembrance of Him, then the Naad will begin to be heard within. The following words in Japji Sahib Pauri 27 "vaajay naad anayk asankhaa kaytay vaavanhaaray. kaytay raag paree si-o kahee-an kaytay gaavanhaaray." which translates to: "Numerous Sound-currents vibrate simultaneously - Where are the musicians? So many melodious Ragas are sung – Where are the singers?" and also Japji Sahib Pauri 29 "bhugat gi-aan da-i-aa bhandaaran ghat ghat vaajeh naad" which means "Make wisdom your food and compassion your attendant; The Sound-current vibrates in each and every heart." * 43 references to the word 'Naad' in the Guru Granth Sahib
