Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! The reason why the reinsabhai is short is because most gurdwara's have saturday evening programs until 7/7.30pm and simran programes in the mornings 4-5am. For that reason we have to follow the maryada of the Guru ghar, and respect that. The live broadcast is currently being worked on. Details will be posted soon on the outcome. Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! I agree with ms514 Each Bani has a specific focus and purpose Here something I found: Japji Sahib: To relate and connect with your soul. Recite in the early morning or when your being is endangered, when the radiance of your soul is weak, when your soul feels sad. All wisdom of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib is contained in this Bani. Related to ether element. Shabad Hazaare: This gives the benefits of a thousand shabads to allow the soul to merge directly with God. For reconciliation and bringing separated ones home. Recite when your body feels useless. Related to ether element. Jaap Sahib: To bring grace, self-command and to inspire your greatness. This Bani brings royalty, divinity, ecstacy, bliss, bountifulness and beauty. It will increase your vitality, courage, power, strength and self-esteem. Recite when your dignity is threatened, to overcome fear and to arouse and increase your flow of spirit. Related to air element. Tav Prasad Swaiya and Chaopaee: To bring satisfaction in life when nothing seems to satisfy you. It brings energy, vitality and expansion. Related to air element. Anand Sahib: To bring endless bliss and heal any deficiencies in the body. It organizes and brings happiness, harmony and peace. In this Bani, mind and body are explained in relation to cosmic divinity; it is to qualify the mind and understand one's depth. Recite this when your lower self confronts you, when you are unsuccessful and you wa nt peace of mind. Related to fire element. Rehiras Sahib: Recite after you've worked hard and feel tired. It adds energy to your being. It covers your business actions and living environments. It helps you when you are physically weak, weak in money, property and earthly matters; when you feel hopeless, unsuccessful or worthless. Bayntee Chaopaee is Guru Gobind Singh's personal prayer for protection and is to liberate the soul. Related to water element. Kirtan Sohila: To remove the fear of death. Good to recite when your life feels boring, and you are uninspired. It multiplies your aura, eliminates negativity in you and around you, and protects you. Excellent before you sleep at night to bring restful sleep, prevent nightmares and create a shield of protection. This Bani protects the soul on its journey after it leaves the body at death. Related to earth element. Sukhmani Sahib: This is a prayer in the form of a song to bring everlasting peace and comfort to the mind. Its sound is tranquilizing and removes stress. Sukhmani Sahib opens your heart to live in gratitude, steadies your spiritual discipline, and connects you with your strength, endurance, courage and Infinite consciousness to overcome every obstacle. Listening to or reciting Sukhmani Sahib once a day can change your destiny from misery to prosperity and give you inner balance, grace, radiance, energy and the power to sacrifice. These are just the basic paaths we should do. Dhan Guru Granth Sahib jee maharaj is full of many more shabads and treasures, just like guru jee says beatifully in the following shabad: gauVI guAwryrI mhlw 5 ] hm DnvMq BwgT sc nwie ] hir gux gwvh shij suBwie ]1] rhwau ] pIaU dwdy kw Koil ifTw Kjwnw ] qw myrY min BieAw inDwnw ]1] rqn lwl jw kw kCU n molu ] Bry BMfwr AKUt Aqol ]2] Kwvih Krcih ril imil BweI ] qoit n AwvY vDdo jweI ]3] khu nwnk ijsu m sqik lyKu ilKwie ] su eyqu KjwnY lieAw rlwie ]4]31]100] gourree guaaraeree mehulaa 5 Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl: hum dhunuvunth bhaaguth such naae I am prosperous and fortunate, for I have received the True Name. har gun gaaveh sehaj subhaae I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, with natural, intuitive ease. ||1||Pause|| peeoo dhaadhae kaa khol ddithaa khujaanaa When I opened it up and gazed upon the treasures of my father and grandfather, thaa maerai man bhaeiaa nidhaanaa then my mind became very happy. ||1|| ruthun laal jaa kaa kushoo n mol The storehouse is inexhaustible and immeasurable, overflowing with priceless jewels and rubies. ||2|| khaavehi khuruchehi ral mil bhaaee The Siblings of Destiny meet together, and eat and spend, thott n aavai vudhudho jaaee but these resources do not diminish; they continue to increase. ||3|| kuhu naanuk jis musuthak laekh likhaae Says Nanak, one who has such destiny written on his forehead, s eaeth khujaanai laeiaa rulaae becomes a partner in these treasures. ||4||31||100|| Bhul chuk di khima karni jee vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!
