Japji Sahib consists of the Mool Mantar, an opening Salok, a set of 38 Pauris (hymns) and a final Salok. This Bani called Japji Sahib, appears at the very beginning of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib from Page 1 to Page 8 in the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs. It is regarded as the most important Bani or 'set of verses' by the Sikhs and is recited every morning by all practising faithful of this religion. The word ‘Jap’ means to ‘recite’ or ‘to ‘chant’ & implies practising this truthful path to achieve the aim of human life i.e. …to meet GOD. ‘Ji’ is a word that is used to show respect as is the word ‘Sahib’. Japji Sahib is said to be the condensation of the whole of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and whoever recites this Bani with love, dedication and humility will have the complete blessing of Akal Purukh, Almighty Lord, the Creator. One who regularly recites Japji daily will gain; spiritual peace and tranquillity; wisdom about the mysteries of God’s creation; understanding and appreciation of the ups and downs of life; the knowledge and confidence to move forward in this world at a higher moral level; the ability to become an inspiration to others and a support for the many. The Bani will have a magical influence on your life. This Bani was composed by the founder of the faith, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who was the first of ten human Gurus of this faith. The Ten Gurus of Sikhism were responsible for the creation of this faith which took place over the period from 1469 to 1708 - a period of about 239 years. At the point when the last of these Gurus departed this Earth, the Guruship was passed to the Sikh Holy Scriptures, the SGGS. The Sikh treat the SGGS as a living Guru and the respect shown for the Shabad or ‘Message of the Gurus’ is unique. Mool Mantar
