5 letters Naam?

5 letters Naam?
March 11, 2013 06:52PM
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,
I am reading part 2 of Bhai Sahib Vir Singh Ji's Sri Guru Nanak Chamatkar, and on page 17, Naam is said to be 5 letters?
"The five letters got inside her body. The life-hTiving five letters settled in
her body. Five letters, yes, five letters.
And the Lord reveals Himself in His Name. The five letters got deep into
her soul.
Not only the five letters, the Lord Himself got deep into her soul."

I fail to understand how Waheguru is 5 letters, even in Gurmukhi ji?
Could someone care to kindly help me understand, please?

Bhul chuk muaf

Please post the original Punjabi text of this book; this could be a case of an error in translation. Perhaps the original text had referred to "Panch Shabad" and not Naam Gurmantr.

I have compared English version against the original Punjabi version.
It's a translation error. In Punjabi version:

It says Char Akhar. but because
Waheguru mantar was repeated five times by the Lady (Jatti) after Maharaj, I think that's why confusion occured.

Not a good translation either. The 'Waheguru' has been replaced by 'O Lord'.

I always recommend reading original Punjabi text and believe me this book will change any body's life if read in punjabi. In english half of the message, emotions etc falied gets lost and does not inspire in the same way.

I learned Punajbi/Gurmukhi , most of the punjabi words (old and new), took a while but well worth it.

Veer/ bethey KamJSingh ji,
Thanks so much for the clarification, I was hoping there indeed is a five letter Naam, that could speed up clearing up my karam, and meeting our Great Beloved Wahegurusmiling smiley
I will read Punjabi/ Gurmukhi surely, and I believe that will allow me to be amongst Sangat I yearn so much for, His Kirpa will thus happen when I make that effort...just that it is so much quicker reading in English...as I attempt to surrender to the kanio tikhi path without doubts ji

No problem ji.

I was bit harsh when I wrote "Not a good translation". I should have appreciated as someone has spend lot of time and money translating from Punjabi to English.
So my apologies (Bhul Chuk Muaff ji)
