 Japji Sahib - Intro  |
"Once a man came to me and said he wanted to be the wisest man of the world. I said, 'Read Japji, and you will.' That’s all it takes. I can give you the word of honor. If any one of you can understand Japji, you can understand the entire wisdom of God. In those forty Pauris the whole thing is contained. The entire Siri Guru Granth is the explanation of that Japji." - Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan)
Japji is one of the five daily Sikh prayers. Guru Nanak found the Divine Spirit of God within himself, and when he merged his psyche and understanding into that Spirit, he spoke Japji as a way to guide and enlighten other human beings about the Reality of the Divine within the Creation. Japji is a teacher for anyone seeking Truth. The Sound Current of Japji and the meaning of its words, when meditated upon with openness and love, awakens a soul to its destiny. Step by step, Japji gives you the comprehensive power to know yourself as you are and be with God’s Creation in a spirit of joyful surrender. - Ek Ong Kaar Kaur Khalsa
