SUKHMANI SAHIB PATHH
Sukhmani Sahib Pathh is a special, meditative and extensive prayer written by the Fifth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. It is a prayer that is written in poetry form, and it is meant to console the mind. The term Sukhmani comprises two words: Sukh {peace} and Mani {the treasure or jewel of the mind}. It is present from Ang [page] 262 to Ang [page]296 in the holy Guru Granth Sahib, the main scripture of the Sikh faith.
Reciting Sukhmani Sahib opens the closed door of one’s heart. Spiritual discipline is created in you, and you are connected with strength, patience, courage and infinite consciousness. The central idea of Sukhmani Sahib is that we can safely cross this worldly ocean by contemplating His Name in the company of a True Guru.
President of the Gurdwara Sahib, Bhai Harjinder Singh Rai, speaking from the stage congratulated the boys on their birthdays and that the boys’ grandfather Tarlochan Singh Virk Co-Ordinator of Punjabi Listeners Club who organises about five programmes at the Gurdwara every year such as Punjabi Language, Health and birthday celebrations.
