Sat Nam is classified as a seed, or bij mantra; compact but containing a lot of information. SAT stands for ‘Truth’ or ‘being truthful’, while NAM stands for ‘naming’ or ‘giving identity’. NAM in Sanskrit texts can also be meaning ‘to bow’, as a sign of respect. Therefore SAT NAM contains a lot of meanings that can be intertwined together, as with so many Sanskrit words. Just to name a few: Truth is my Name, I bow to the Truth, Truth is my Identity, I am/respect the Truth.
