In Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Sukhmani Sahib is titled Gauri Sukhmani. Gauri is the musical measure in which it is sung. The word Sahib is used as a sign of an honorific. It is a lengthy composition and master piece of Guru Arjan Dev ( 1563 -1606 ), the fifth Master, who composed it in 1602- 1603 at the bank of the Ramsar pool in the city of Amritsar. It is recorded in SGGS from page 262 to 296. Scholars like Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha and Bhai Vir Singh have translated the word Sukhmani as 'Consoler' of the mind. It is also called 'The Psalm of Peace' or 'Hymn of Peace'. Swami Rama, a saint scholar, who published its English translation calls it 'Fountain of Eternal Joy'. Late Prof. Sahib Singh translated it asjewel of comforts, but Dr. Joginder Singh , author of ' SukhmaniSahib da Darshnik Aadhar' (Philosophical Base of Sukhmani Sahib) does not agree with him and says that the word 'Mani' points to mind and translates it as provider of peace of mind. Piara Singh Padam' in his book' Sukhmani Darshan' (Philosophy of Sukhmani) explains the meaning of the word ' Sukhmani; on page 12 and agrees with Pro. Sahib Singh. German scholar Dr. Trump relates its name to Sukmnan, the word used by yogis, but many scholars do not agree with him. Its Central Idea After the first stanza of the first canto (Ashatpadi) there are two additional lines and at the end of these two lines, word Rahaao is added. It means we must stop for a while and ponder over the idea contained in these lines. These two ...

The same weekend that director Manjari Makijany had wrapped up postproduction on a coming-of-age sports film, “Spin” follows Rhea (Avantika Vandanapu), an Indian American teen with a passion for music and DJing. When she meets a fellow aspiring DJ, Max (Michael Bishop), she delves deeper into her love for music — which she has long pushed aside, torn between it and the responsibilities she has to her tight-knit family and their Indian restaurant. Also Read: The characters aren’t one-dimensional — Rhea isn’t just a smart Indian girl under the thumb of her strict father, but a kid who’s discovering and following her passion for the arts and trying to balance that with the love and respect that she has for her family. The collective identity that’s often intertwined with Indian culture blends with the individualism valued in American culture within the character of Rhea, as she holds the nuances of both cultures and parts of her identity. Similarly, Makijany manifested Indian culture in every small detail she could and made sure that each department gave “the utmost importance to authenticity” to truly capture the Indian American, multigenerational experience: that included the vibrant fabrics that hang around the family’s Indian restaurant, the kurtas (loose, collarless shirts worn in South Asian cultures) worn by Rhea’s grandma, Asha (Meera Syal), and the furniture around the family’s house and restaurant — much of it was actually shipped in from India. Makijany said the ca...

By Neha Kirpal In Manjari Makijany’s directorial debut feature film Skater Girl , a teenage tribal girl in Rajasthan discovers skateboarding after a British-Indian girl introduces the sport in a village. Not only does the film tackle various social stereotypes, its filming in Khempur, Udaipur, in 2019, also led to the creation of Rajasthan’s first and, at the time, India’s largest skatepark spanning almost 15,000 sq ft. It remains a public skatepark facility for children and visiting skaters. Los Angeles-based writer, director and producer Manjari has previously won awards for her short films, The Last Marble (2012), The Corner Table (2014) and I See You (2016). Daughter of yesteryear Bollywood actor Mac Mohan and cousin of actor Raveena Tandon, Manjari began filming Desert Dolphin (2021), aka Skater Girl, a narrative feature film written by her and her sister Vinati Makijany, in 2019. In this exclusive interview, the 34-year-old filmmaker talks among other things about the inspiration behind Skater Girl, her childhood influences and her upcoming Disney film Spin. • Manjari Makijany What prompted you to make your directorial debut feature Skater Girl? What was the inspiration behind it? I love exploring simplicity in stories. To me, they transcend borders and cultures. For my debut feature, I wanted to write a universally relatable story so that every girl watching my film could be inspired to dream and challenge conventions. So, when the rising skateboarding movement acro...

Filmmaker Manjari Makijany had never been on a skateboard in her life but that was hardly an impediment as she wrote her first feature about a teenage girl in a village in Rajasthan who finds her true calling with skateboarding. Once the village Khempur was selected as the setting for the film and its youth was introduced to the sport, Makijany decided to collate funds to build a skate park so that the kids could continue their practise. “Normally, you make a movie about something inspired by real life,” says Makijany. “But here the movie and the real-life incident [the park] happened concurrently.” Set up in 2018, the Desert Dolphin Skatepark is the centrepiece of Skater Girl, Makijany’s feature directorial debut which premiered on Netflix on June 11. Interestingly, Makijany would end up being the first to be injured in the park, breaking her collarbone while trying the sport herself. “I wouldn’t say I am a skater,” she says with a laugh. Makijany’s research began by discovering that skateboarding was, in fact, a “thing in India” especially in the South where there were avid practitioners. With Skater Girl she wanted to take it to a place which had little exposure to the sport and where she could set a coming-of-age narrative that would highlight how “uplifting and freeing” it can be. Rural Rajasthan, with its deep-rooted patriarchal notions, made for an ideal setting. “I wanted to break the stereotypes of what a girl can and cannot do,” says Makijany. “Girls can be reall...

“Who is actually involved? Your father? Husband?” “No, it’s just me.” That’s a conversation that takes place between a woman trying to build a skatepark and a public official in the Netflix film Skater Girl, which follows the story of a teen girl in India whose dream is to become a competitive skateboarder. It’s also one writer-director Manjari Makijany had in real life while building the skatepark for the film. “Behind the scenes, we were facing the same struggle, because when we were sort of putting, you know, the skatepark together — it was done before the filming, of course — everybody would ask us, ‘Oh, so who’s actually behind this, you know? Is it your father? Is it your husband? Like, who’s — we know you’re doing it, but who’s, like, who’s a male figure behind this?’ And it took them a second to understand that, oh, wait a second, you know, this is being led by two Indian women,” she said of herself and her sister and co-writer, Vinati Makijany. We spoke to Makijany for the latest episode of the MovieMaker podcast , which you can listen to above or on Her previous credits include working as the assistant director on Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and The Dark Knight Rises, as well as serving as a production assistant on Wonder Woman and Dunkirk. When it came to making her feature directorial debut, Skater Girl, she knew she wanted the events to be true to the village where it was filmed.

Grete Bergman, left, and Sarah Whalen-Lunn at their StoryCorps recording in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2018. Camila Kerwin/StoryCorps Grete Bergman had long wanted to get traditional facial markings, a practice for Indigenous women in Alaska that European settlers tried to extinguish. But in 2016, Bergman became one of the first among the Gwich'in Nation — First Nations peoples whose homelands stretch from northeast Alaska to northwest Canada — to get tattooed, in a return to a centuries-old tradition. "My dad would have hated it," Bergman said. "He would have looked at me and he would have said, 'What the hell you do that for?' " Her Alaska Native father, she said, was beaten in school for speaking the Gwich'in language, "because being Native was the worst possible thing you could be." "I didn't know anyone who had their traditional markings," Bergman said, "and every time I brought it up, I always got the same sort of 'This is taboo. We don't do this.' " So, when Bergman saw a design that she was drawn to, it felt like a calling from her ancestors to reconnect. "They are strong lines, bold lines — no-fooling-around lines," Bergman, now 46, said. Bergman went to see Inupiaq artist Sarah Whalen-Lunn, who she'd heard had just completed a yearlong training to learn the art of facial markings. Traditional Alaskan Indigenous markings look like three lines — starting from below the bottom lip, drawn down the chin. The meanings and designs vary from one group to another and are speci...
