Essentially, the song is an act of surrender and submission to the all-encompassing power of divine wisdom.


The following phrases, "Jugad Guray Nameh" and "Sat Guray Nameh", add more layers of meaning to the prayer. "Jugad" means "through the ages", implying the wisdom has existed throughout time and is still relevant today. "Sat" means "true", as in true wisdom or true knowledge. The final phrase, "Siri Guru Devay Nameh", pays homage to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred text of Sikhism, and the divine energy and knowledge found within it.
