Visit this site The Physiological Effect of Reciting Gurbani

What's the relevance of each bani?

Panj Baniyan (Nitnem)

1) Jap - for Brahm Gian

2) Jaap - to get to know Brahm Saroop

3) Swaey - Pakhand da naas

4) Chaupai - Benti for Rakhsha

5) Anand - to reach Anand state

Evening - Rehras - all evil sins of the day washed away

Night time - Sohila - to stop bad dreams at night

Gurmantar - Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

Mool Mantar - Ik oankar satnam karta purakh nirbhau nirvair akal murat ajuni sai bhang gurprasad jap aad sach jugaad sach hai bhi sach nanak hosi bhi sach

Sukhmani Sahib: To attain the everlasting peace within

How do they help us?

Basically, the same question as above.

But, anyways, reciting Gurbani gets rid of your previous 'bad' deeds and helps your soul re-connect with god.

And why do we do Ardaas when god already knows what we want?

So that god doesn't get confused! Just kidding...

Here you go: Miracle of Ardaas (prayer) --Part II

Why do paath...... (Daily Prayers)???

Each Bani has a specific focus and purpose:

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 the wisdom of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib is contained in this Bani.

Shabad Hazaare: This gives 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.

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.

Tav prasad Swaiya and Chaupaee: To bring satisfaction in life when nothing seems to satisfy you. It brings energy , vitality and expansion.

Anand Sahib: To bring endless bliss and heal any defeciencies in the bosy. It organises 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 want peace of mind.

Rehraas Sahib: Recite after you have 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. Bentee Cahupaee is Guru Gobind Singh jees personal prayer for protection and is to liberate the soul.

Kirtan sohila: To remove the fear of death. Good to recite when your life feels boring, and you are uninspired. It multiplies to 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.

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 this baani once a day can change your destiny from misery to prosperity and give you inner balance, grace, radiance, energy and the power to sacrifice.

There are many more compositions that Guru jee has written for inspiration and support for us mere mortals...... but its up to us to read them and experience the benefits for ourselves!
