Talk:Bani

Dear khalsa ji Following are the point to discuss about nitnem banis. As in prevous page under Bani it is written that there banis which are more practised daily which are: Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Anand Sahib, Benti Chaupai, Amrit Savaiye, Rehras Sahib including Benti Chaupai), Kirtan Sohila, Sukhmani Sahib, Asa Di Var. All Shiri Granth sahib is a sacered bani, which we can not pratice daily as nitnem. After consulting old writting of Singhs and History, it was concluded in 1934 by S.G.P.C and all sikh scholar of that time (about 38 scholars) that there will be following 5 banis which will be practised by every sikh as nitnem (daily duty to be done from morning till sleeping time). 1. Japji Sahib 2. Jap Sahib 3. Amrit Savaiye (also known as Sudha Savaiyas)

All 3 bani in the morning

4. Rehras Sahib in the evening 5. Kirtan Sohila at night bed time. These five banis of nitnem are also stamped by Sgiri Akal Takht Sahib.

There is pratice in Deras that five banis to be read in the morning (those are Japaji Sahib, Jap Sahib,Amrit Savaiye, Anad Sahib, Beti Choupai in the morning, Reharas Sahib including Benti Choupai in the evening and Kirtan Sohila Sahib at night before sleeping. If we see Guru Gobind Singh ji made are life very simple and natural. Cosidering timings as Family person ( Ghar-Gharhasti peoples). We can not devote so much time at home with family.Otherwise in Gurudawaras daily 1'st bani recited is Sukhmani Sahib and then Kirtan of Asa Di Var is recited. These both the banis take average time of three hours. So how a Ghar-Gharhastee man can practice these daily. Deras people have enough time to do these practices.
