4 FORWARD This trilingual version of the prayer RAHRAS, KIRTAN SOHILA and ARDAS from the SACRED NITNEM is arranged and donated by Gurdev Singh as Assistant Officer Class 1- of the Stanley Prison in Hong Kong. He is born in Hong Kong and belongs to the village of Hussain Pura, Tehsil Malerkotla, District Sangrur, Punjab in India. Gurdev Singh has published other prayers and religious? books in another languages; such as in Japanese and Korean. It is a: free publication for his foreign friends who are interested' to know more about the Sikh religion. PREFACE
Most Sacred and Divine Hymns (Gurbsnl) have come to us from Almighty God, through our Satguras. Wc worship Gurbanl as our ever existing and last Satgum, under the orders of our Ten Satgurns. Regarding this matter submissions have been made in part II of this book. It is most essential that we must know the meanings of the Shabads and the Gurban! that we recite, sing or hear, and we must act upon the Divine Instructions, contained therein, if we really want to achieve the Final Goal. The Gurbsnl, which we are directed to recite or hear everyday, is contained^ in the prayer-books in Gurmukhi and Hindi etc. In this book an attempt has been made to give the daily prayers of the Sikhs in Roman, as well as, in Gurmukhi Script with Translation of each verse in Simple English. Summaries of the Teachings have been given in Part II of this book. As to what is Nitnem, my brief submissions are as follow i^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I Nitnem means recitation of certain Banls (Hymns) everyday without fail by the -Sikhs, as ordained by the Satgurns. Even non-sikhs are requested^ 3to read these, because there is absolutely nothing communal or personal in them. Asia matter of fact, all the Hymns of Sri Gum Granth Sahib preach us things, which are meant for the whole world, without any distinction of religion or nationality. It is essential for every Sikh toj read at least five B&nls every morning. The first one is Japfu) jl» composed by Satguro Nanak Dev Sahib. The second and third are Jap(u) Sahib and Tav Prasad Savaiy&s, composed by Satguro Gobind Singh Sahib. The .fourth
6
• one is AnandMSihib. composed by Satgurn Amar Dfts Sfihib. All these four Banis and the Cbanpal given in this book, are to be repeated early morning everyday by a Sikh. The Rahrgsffl Sfthib consists of one Salok of Guru Ninak and nine Shabads, which are given in Sri Gum Granth Sahib, immediately after the Jap(u) jl. These along 1„ with one Chaupal, one Savaiyft and one Dohrft composed by Satgurn Gobind Singfc Sfthib, the first five and the last stanzas of Anand(u) Sfthib and five other Hymns, given towards the end of Rahr«s(i) Sfthib, are recited at the time of the sunset, After completing the Rahrfts(i), one has to perform the General Prayer, called Ardfts. j The fBfinl, called Klrtan Sohilft, isirecitcd by a Sikh before he goes to sleep at night time. One has to perform Ardfts again. These Hymns (Bftnls) and the General Prayer are recited by a Sikh with a view to understand and practise Teachings of the Sikh Religion. It is essential for a Sikh to read them intelligently, after knowing the meanings theirof, and then to act upon what the Satguro says. There is no need of a long preface, because my most humble submissions are contained in sufficient details in part IL A key to pronunciation has been given in the beginning. It is impossible for a man, of my humble intelligence and meagre knowledge, to interpret or translate the Most Divine Hymns, yet with Satgurn's Grace, I have made a little attempt I am confident that the learned readers will excuse me for my shorty comings and will give their valuable suggestions.
