SALOKO
Episode 1 Introduction (Preamble) - Saloko Moto and Saloko Nano
Episode 2 Shanaakhat (Divine Recognition) - Saloko Moto

Saloko Moto and Saloko Nano, both very popular, are considered as “Granths” (long format ginans). The word Saloko is derived from a Sanskrit word, Shlok, or Sloka which is a specific meter or rhyme. Saloko is meant to be sung as a hymn of praise and is used widely in Sanskrit devotional poems.

Saloko Moto attributed to Pir Shams in the 13th century consists of 240 stanzas and Saloko Nano (composed almost a century later), is attributed to Pir Sadardin and has 120 stanzas. Both these granths are recited in the same way.

Mohamed (Mac) Virjee has thematically recited selected verses with music accompaniment in 12 separate titles. JollyGul.com will release 12 Episodes of Mac's recitations of SALOKO Moto and Nano in a video format (with lyrics and translations), on a weekly basis over the next 3 months.

Today we will release 2 Episodes. The preamble (Episode 1- previous video) is an introduction and makes some observations of the ginanic literature and also attempts to explore the nature of the themes in both Saloko Moto and Saloko Nano and how these came to evolve over the course of several generations.

The overarching theme in both granths is the superiority of the metaphorical inner temple (place of worship) of the human being which is the abode of the divine for true self transformation as opposed to being engrossed with external rites and rituals. Pir Shams Sabzwari's focus in Saloko Moto is on the community, bonds and social values. On the other hand, Pir Sadardin's Saloko Nano has a detailed exposition of divine love and mysticism.

Episode 2 (this video) is from Pir Shams Sabzwari's Saloko Moto with the theme Shanaakhat (Divine Recognition).
