The meanings of the daily Sikh prayers (banis)

Japji Sahib: This bani controls one's "ji," one's soul. When your ji, your being, is endangered, when the radiance of your soul is weak, recite Japji. GuruNanak said that the thirty-eight pauris of Japji would liberate the humanity from the cycles of birth and death.

Shabad Hazare: This is the highest love letter by a disciple, written by Arjan to Guru Ram Das. Its gift is that it gives the benefits of a thousand shabads, and one's soul will merge directly with God. It makes the separated ones come home with grace. One who recites this shabad will never be separated from their beloved.

Jaap Sahib: The naad of Jaap Sahib rouses the soul and the self of the Being. "Sahib" also means grace. Recite it when your position is endangered, or when your authoritative personality is weak. This bani brings grace and greatness. It will also give you the ability that, whatever people say, you will automatically be able to compute what they are actually saying. Once you are able to recite it correctly, it will give you the power, the siddhi, that whatever you say must happen. Man can direct God, and God can direct man. Guru Gobind Singh recited Jaap Sahib so we won't become beggars at the doors of others.

Tavprasad Swaye: This bani was spoken by Guru Gobind Singh. When you are not getting any satisfaction out of life, this is the bani to recite.

Anand Sahib: Whoever recites the forty pauris of Anand Sahib will have endless bliss, because the Guru is limitless. In this bani, mind and body are explained in relation to cosmic divinity. Guru Amar Das gave us the song of bliss, which is Anand Sahib, to qualify the mind and to understand the depth.For husband and wife to get together, recite it together, alternating sutras (lines).

Rehiras Sahib: This bani is recited after one has worked and is tired. It adds energy (raa-hu) to one's being, to one's total concept. Also, recite it whenyour principle worldly wealth is endangered. In naad, reh means live, and raas means commodity, so Rehiraas means living commodity. Rehiras Sahibhelps you when you are physically weak, or weak in money, property and earthly goods.

Kirtan Sohila: This bani is done before sleep at night. It is the most harmonious naad ever uttered. It multiplies the aura to the sensitivity of protection thatit eliminates any negativity for miles and miles. When you are endangered by any species of direct or indirect source, and when you want to protectyourself with the surrounding of the entire magnetic field of the earth, recite Kirtan Sohila.

Quotes from Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture and present Guru of the Sikhs

FIRST MEHL: From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one. O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman. That mouth which praises the Lord continually is blessed and beautiful. O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the Court of the True Lord. - Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Quotes from the Sikh Gurus

"Raj Bina Nahin Dharam Chale Hain, Dharam Bina Sab Dalle Malle Hain"- Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This literally means that sovereignty is a MUST in order for a religion to survive; otherwise religion perishes . This provides a greater significance why Sikhs need a separate country called Khalistan. This is supported by many Sikhs to this day even though the Indian government has tried literally murdering Sikhs who rallied for this cause.

“The greatest comforts and lasting peace are obtained, when one eradicates selfishness from within.” - Guru Gobind Singh Ji

The Lord forgives some, and unites them with Himself, they forsake their duality and sinful ways.” - Guru Gobind Singh Ji

“Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.” - Guru Nanak Dev Ji

“Death would not be called bad, O people, if one knew how to truly die.” - Guru Nanak Dev Ji

That man who in the midst of grief is free from grieving, And free from fear, and free from the snare of delight, Nor is covetous of gold that he knows to be dust, Who is neither a backbiter nor a flatterer, Nor has greed in his heart, nor vanity, nor any worldly attachment, Who remains at his centre unmoved by good and ill fortune, Who indifferent to the world's praise and blame And discards every wishful fantasy Accepting his lot in the disinterested fashion, Not worked upon by lust or by wrath, In such a man God dwelleth. The man on vjhom the Grace of the Guru alights Understands the way of conduct: His soul, 0 Nanak, is mingled with the Lord As water mingles with water! - Guru Tegh Bahadur (1621-1675): Rag Soorath
