"Shabad" refers to a sacred word or hymn in the context of Sikhism. It is often derived from the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism, which contains the teachings of the Sikh Gurus and other saints. Shabads are recited or sung during religious ceremonies and are considered a means to connect with the divine. In addition to its spiritual significance, Shabad serves as a form of meditation and reflection for followers. The rhythmic and melodic nature of Shabads enhances their emotional impact, allowing individuals to experience a sense of peace and devotion while engaging with the teachings of Sikhism.
