Japji Sahib

About This Bani

Japji Sahib is the most important Sikh prayer and opens the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, it is recited every morning at Amrit Vela — the ambrosial hours before dawn. It is a complete guide to life, God, and the path to liberation.

Why We Recite This

Sikhs recite Japji Sahib every morning to start the day in the consciousness of God. It clears the mind, fills the heart with wisdom, and reminds us of what truly matters. The Guru says that whoever reads, listens to, and loves this Bani — their anxieties are removed and their face is radiant with God's grace.
