In Sikhism, Simran (Punjabi: ) refers to the repetition or recital of the God Names: Nām or of the Holy Text from the Two Granths of the Sikhs: the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and the Dasam Granth. The word is derived from Sanskrit word Smaran meaning Remembrance. Also translates to ‘Meditation’ – The verb Simar, which is derived from Simran means meditating.
It says in the SGGS that by carrying out Simran the person is purified and attains Salvation or Mukti.
