DAILY PRAYER
The Sikh Scripture is in verse. It was first compiled by the Fifth Guru Arjun Dev and scribed
by the great Sikh scholar Bhai Gurdas, at Amritsar. It was installed in the sanctum sanctorum
of Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple), Amritsar, Punjab, India, and was highly revered. In its
second version, Guru Gobind Singh added the Hymns of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur after he
was martyred, and it was scribed by Bhai Mani Singh at Damdama Sahib near Bathinda. The
routine prayer of Sikhs includes three scriptures for the morning, one for the evening, and one
for the night. Their authors are different Sikh Gurus. The originality is the great beauty of these
Scriptures; these are first hand, direct from the Gurus, and absolutely free from any additions.
Even the spellings are original.
Nit-Nem purifies the mind, leads to the ethical living, and makes the person an instrument of
good deeds. It uplifts the soul through understanding of the Truth, that the Lord is
Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Creator, Doer, Supporter – Provider, and there is none
else equal to Him, everything is under His Will, He has made all equal, and we should always
keep Him In our minds to do the right things for our evolution. This liberates the Man while
still living, and enables him to enjoy the heaven on earth.
