Mool Mantar

About This Bani

The Mool Mantar is the most fundamental statement of Sikh faith. It opens the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and contains the essence of what Sikhs believe about God. Every Sikh child learns it by heart.

Why We Recite This

The Mool Mantar is recited to anchor the mind in the fundamental truth of who God is. When doubts come, when life is difficult, the Mool Mantar reminds a Sikh of the bedrock truth: there is One God, He is Truth, and He is always present.
