Japji Sahib Explained in English by SSThaper YTC Playlist

 Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa!

Waheguru ji Ki Fateh!

Dear Friend(s), 

Japji Sahib is the Sikh thesis, that appears at the beginning of the Guru Granth Sahib – the scripture of the Sikhs. 

It was composed by Guru Nanak Dev ji, the founder of Sikhism.

It begins with Mool Mantra and then follow 38 paudis (stanzas) and completed with a final Salok by Guru Nanak Dev Ji at the end of this composition.

The 38 stanzas are in different poetic meters.

Japji Sahib is the first composition of Guru Nanak Dev ji and is considered the comprehensive essence of Sikhism. 

Expansion and elaboration of Japji Sahib is the entire Guru Granth Sahib. 

It is first Bani in Nitnem.

Notable is Nanak's discourse on 'what is true worship' and what is the nature of God'.

According to Christopher Shackle, it is designed for "individual meditative recitation" and as the first item of daily devotional prayer for the devout.

It is a chant found in the morning and evening prayers in Sikh gurdwaras. 

It is also chanted in the Sikh tradition at the Khalsa initiation ceremony and during the cremation 

ceremony.

With the kind Blessings of the Almighty God I have tried to record the Bani and explained it in English as per what I could understand. I have used English so that it can attract those who don't understand Punjabi and Hindi. 

I have uploaded my recordings on my You Tube Channel Sukhwant Singh Thaper

The follow is the link of the play list

 in which you can come across all videos related to Mool Manta, 38 Standzas and the final Salok. 

The 7th stanza is Titled 'Je jug chaare arzaa'

My understanding of Japji Sahib paath can't be complete by any means. 

I shall feel extremely happy and will consider my humble attempt to bear fruit if this attempt can bring even one seeker closer to Japji Sahib.

Will look forward to your comments and suggestions so that I can improve in my future similar endeavors. 

If you like the attempt please leave your comments, suggestions on the channel and subscribe and share the same. 🙏🙏
