Sikh Beliefs

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.

On page 202 of SGGS Guruji says:
Meditating, meditating, meditating in remembrance, I have found peace.
(simar simar simar sukh paa-i-aa.)
