Niranjan Nirakar Swaroop is a Sanskrit term and refers to the Satpanth idea (found in the Ginans of the Ismaili religious tradition) that the true spiritual teacher is esoteric and all-pervading, found by the Mureed when meditating upon special mantras given by the exoteric spiritual teacher (Bandagi). Sanskrit ( , for short ) is a classical language of India, a liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism, and one of the 23 official languages of India. ... // The people of the Satpanth are originally from the Indian states of Punjab and Rajasthan. ...
Meaning of each individual word
Niranjan = "that which cannot be seen by mortal eyes." Hence one can only experience the spiritual guide.
Nirakar = "that which is without material form." Hence reinforcing the belief in the true guide being non-corporeal.
Swaroop = Made of Swa and roop, Swa means own and roop means form. So in this case the Swa means divine self and roop means divine form. Meaning that Niranjan Nirankar manifests itself willingly without losing its original divine form or divine origin. Hence, the spiritual guide can become manifest in human form without the human form being less than the spirit form.
To cross religious terms, Jesus would be considered a manifestation of the Swaroop of God.
It is noteworthy that the Nirankari religion uses this word to refer to God but also it refers to their spiritual leader or Guru as Nirankari Baba. This group also holds the same virtually identical belief expressed with this word. The Sant Nirankari Mission was started in 1929 by Baba Buta Singh Ji in the province of Punjab (British India). ... For other uses, see Guru (disambiguation). ...
