Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

The Mūl Mantar, composed by Guru Nānak, is the creedal heart of Sikhism. It affirms one Being, whose name is truth, the creative person, without fear and without enmity, of timeless form, beyond birth, self-existent, known by the Guru’s grace. It opens the Japjī and is recited daily by Sikhs.
