about

“Har Jas Gaavoh” is available on Snatam Kaur’s new album, Nirankaar. The track connects Snatam’s heartfelt interpretation of Guru Ram Das’s devotional poem, “Har Jas Gaavoh” to the mantra, “Har Haray Haree.” One day, while working on Nirankaar, Snatam asked for divine guidance on what to record next. Opening a volume of Sikh scripture, she landed on the poem’s page and felt deeply inspired to create the track. Sung in Sikh traditional kirtan style, “Har Jas Gaavoh” speaks to opening one’s heart with the virtues and gifts of chanting God’s Name and how doing so provides an opportunity to calibrate with the energy and compassion of the Divine.

Snatam sensed a profound link between the poem, which praises the invoking of God’s name, and the mantra “Har Haray Haree,” which does just that. The mantra tunes into the seed energy of God — the inner-flow of grace — empowering the courage to hear the Divine and live in that truth, especially in the face of challenges.

lyrics

har jas gaavoh bhagavaan
jas gaavat paap lahaan
mat gurmat sun jas kaan
har ho ho kirapaan

har haray hare waaheguru
