“Simran” can be translated to mean “divine remembrance.” Simran is a process. It is a process of repeating Naam (sacred sounds) with each breath, and each beat of the heart. Being in the consciousness of Simran, Sikhs purify themselves by singing spiritual songs in praise of God’s Name, bestowing clarity, identity and spiritual discipline. In Sikh Dharma, we believe that when we infuse ourselves with sacred sounds through the discipline of Simran, we innocently receive bountiful blessings and brightness. Sikhs believe that Simran gives us great spiritual strength.
