Simran

Remembrance: the Sikh practice of keeping God in mind through repetition of the Name.

Also: Simran, smarana

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Simran, from Sanskrit smaraṇa, “remembering”, is the inward discipline of Sikh life. It may take the form of repeating Vāhigurū, of meditating on the scripture, or of a steady awareness of God in daily work. The Gurus taught that remembrance purifies the mind as water washes dust from the body.
