Dhan Sri Guru Granth
Sahib Ji
This is all part of Sikh history that when Dhirmal
refused to handover the Adi Pothi [which he had stolen
from the house of Guru Hargobind], Dasam Pitah Guru
Gobind Singh ji took upon himself to recreate the entire
Granth with inclusion of banis of all Sikh Gurus and
started dictating Devine Gurbani to Sikh scholar Bhai
Manisingh. This took nearly five years, to recreate
Granth Sahib at Talwandi [now known as Damdama Sahib].
On 20th October 1708 at Nanded, Guru Gobind Singh Ji
gave their final sermon and confirmed permanent Gurudom
on the Damdama version of Granth, since that day Granth
is known as Sri Guru Granth Sahib, eternal Guru of
Sikhs. |

Banis of Sri Guru
Granth Sahib in daily life (Nitnem Gurbani)
1. Japji Sahib :
Composed by Adi Guru Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and

prayer for every follower of Sikhism and Sindhi for whom
Guru Nanak and Guru Granth are living God on the earth.

Evening prayer or prayer of time of setting sun,
composed by Guru Nanak, Guru Ramdas and Guru Arjun and

evening prayer.

that reciting of Banis of Sohila generates a very strong
protective cover for us from all kind of evil spirits
and actions.

for requesting Waheguru to accept offering made as

Prasad.
