Shabd

Shabd refers to a sacred sound or word in Sikhism and yoga, believed to possess divine vibration and transformative power. It is considered a hymn or spiritual utterance that can elevate consciousness and connect the practitioner with the divine. In Sikhism, Shabd plays a central role in spiritual practice, serving as a vehicle for meditation and devotion to attain union with Waheguru (God). Similarly, in yoga, Shabd is used in practices such as chanting or mantra repetition to purify the mind, awaken spiritual awareness, and invoke higher states of consciousness. The repetition and contemplation of Shabd are believed to bring inner peace, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment to the practitioner.
