Nirankar

Nirankar (Punjabi: ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ) is one of the many attributes associated to God in Sikhism and means The Formless One. The word has its roots in Sanskrit: ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰਾ/निराकारा nirākārā and is a compound of two words "Nir" meaning Without and Akar (or Akaar), Shape or Form; hence, The Formless. ^[1]

It is used as a name for The Almighty in Guru Granth Sahib.

ਸਚ ਖੰਡਿ ਵਸੈ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ॥
सच खंडि वसै निरंकारु ॥
Sacẖ kẖand vasai nirankār.
In the realm of Truth abides the Formless Lord.
— SGGS. Pg 8
