"gurdev Mata Gurdev Pita" - Shabad Importance

[tuhintuhin]

Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh ji,

I thought of sharing this valubale knowledge, the importance of this shabad, as at the end of this shabad, Guru sahib has mentioned - eh shabad aad ant parhna.

Why did Guru sahib wrote this? Sant Harnam Singh Rampurkherha had this question in mind and he asked this to Guru Sahib and he got the following answer-

The meaning of this particular pankti is that this shabad should be recited at the begining and at the end of Nitnem and Guru Granth Sahib JI's path.

The sequence goes like this.

1. "Gurdev Mata Gurdev Pita" shabad
2. Mool Manter - upto "Nanak Hosi Bhi Sach"
3. Nitnem or Guru sahib ji's path or any other kind of path (e.g. Sukhmani sahib etc)
4. Ardas
5. "Gurdev Mata Gurdev Pita" shabad

Baba Gurdev Singh ji Nanaksar wale (Sant Isher Singh ji Kalerawalean to varsoye hoye - http://www.gurdwarananaksar.com/english/history_e.html ) also mentioned that "mool manter" should be recited in the beginning of every kind of path one does.
