Eho Raaj Jog Gur Ramdas

Guru Ramdas story is that of an unparalleled union, a royal union. One that was seen with Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Amardas. One that served all the lovers of Oneness. A union that was won by the spear of wisdom and protected by truth.  A union of all ages, past and future — under the tent pitched by the true guru. So, a union that is truly royal because it is timeless. 

That is what is described in this shabad.  This is a shabad that was composed last week. I recorded the vocals live and then recorded some instruments for backing up. Enjoy!

Eho Raaj Jog Gur Ramdas - Lyrics and Traditional Translation

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਖੇਮਾ ਤਾਣਿਆ ਜੁਗ ਜੂਥ ਸਮਾਣੇ ॥
सतिगुरि खेमा ताणिआ जुग जूथ समाणे ॥
Saṯgur kẖemā ṯāṇiā jug jūth samāṇe.
The Guru has pitched the tent; under it, all the ages are gathered.

ਅਨਭਉ ਨੇਜਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਟੇਕ ਜਿਤੁ ਭਗਤ ਅਘਾਣੇ ॥
अनभउ नेजा नामु टेक जितु भगत अघाणे ॥
Anbẖao nejā nām tek jiṯ bẖagaṯ agẖāṇe.
He carries the spear of intuition, and takes the Support of Naam, the Name of the Lord, through which the devotees are fulfilled.

ਗੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਅੰਗਦੁ ਅਮਰੁ ਭਗਤ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਮਾਣੇ ॥
गुरु नानकु अंगदु अमरु भगत हरि संगि समाणे ॥
Gur Nānak angaḏ amar bẖagaṯ har sang samāṇe.
Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Amar Daas, through devotional worship, have merged into the Lord.

ਇਹੁ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਗ ਗੁਰ ਰਾਮਦਾਸ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹੂ ਰਸੁ ਜਾਣੇ ॥੧੨॥
इहु राज जोग गुर रामदास तुम्ह हू रसु जाणे ॥१२॥
Ih rāj jog gur Rāmḏās ṯumĥ hū ras jāṇe. ||12||
O Guru Raam Daas, You alone know the taste of this Raja Yoga. ||12||


Translation by Shivpreet Singh


The Guru pitched his tent and under it
all ages came together 

Through Wisdom’s spear and truth’s support 
Lovers Are United

Guru Nanak, Angad and Amar
With Devotion Merge into Hari

This flavor of royal union 
Is known through Guru Ramdas

Guru Ramdas!
