The Story of Nirvair
Nirvair is a Punjabi Sikh name derived from two elements: nir (without, free from) and vair (enmity, hatred, grudge). Together it means one who is without hatred or free from enmity. This concept is directly drawn from the Mool Mantar, the fundamental prayer that opens the Guru Granth Sahib — the eternal Sikh scripture. The Mool Mantar describes the divine attributes of Waheguru (God), including Nirvair — that God holds no enmity toward any being.
