A Prayer in Action - 21st Century Sewa

As a sewa for the good of all, recite any of the following banis within 40 days (17 Nov - 26 Dec 2007) , after which a collective ardaas will be done:

Do this As follows

* Mool Mantar One mala (108 beads) twice a day (morning and evening) for 40 days (i.e. 216 Mool Mantar a day; 8640 in 40 days).

* Japji Sahib One Japji Sahib Paath for 40 days (i.e additional to your Nitnem).

* Sukhmani Sahib One Sukhmani Sahib Paath for 40 days.

* Sehaj Paath One Sehaj Paath (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) to be completed in 40 days or less.

Those who wish to do more than the above may do so.

- When you start your paath or meditation it is essential that you take a full bath and maintain your cleanliness throughout the day, this includes wearing clean clothes.

- Every time you meditate or do paath, it is essential that you cover your head. It is a required mark of respect when reciting Gurbani.

- During the 40 days of prayers, you must try your very best not to smoke, consume meat and alcohol or cut / pick your hair. -- -

- These are against the Sikh Code of Conduct (‘Rehat Maryada’)

- A calendar is provided on page 11 to help you keep track of your progress. Mark off the dates as you complete each day’s prayers.

- Catch up sessions will be done once a week during the 40-day period. These sessions should take place at UK Gurdwaras, which you should attempt to organise with your local youth (please refer to the ‘Sikh Help Line’ website to find nearest Gurdwara, dates / time
