Monday According to Guru Amardas

In Punjab, the Sikh homeland, the word for Monday is Somvaar. Monday is the beginning of the work week for many around the world.

Does Monday have any particular significance for a Sikh?

Guru Amardas, the third Sikh guru wrote:

"Somvaar sach rahiaa samaae||
On Monday, the true permeating and pervading One's||
Tis kee keemat kahee na jaae||
Value can be described not.||
Aakh aakh rahe sabh liv laae||
Narrating and telling of that One, all are lovingly focused||
Jis devai tis palai paae||
Devotion falls in the laps of those so blessed||
Agam agochar lakiaa na jaae||
Inaccessible and incomprehensible, the One can be perceived not||
Gur kai shabad har rahiaa samaee||
By Gurus instruction is God, the permeating and pervading One, perceived. SGGS||841
