Japji Pauri 2

[Gigí Ruais]

Japjiis one of the five daily prayers of the Sikhs. It was written by Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru who, with his companion, Mardana, traveled on foot over thousands of miles teaching people through song and simple inspiration to live exalted and simple lives.

The power of Japji comes from the combination of its sounds, or naad. Sounds have profound effects on the psyche, and when they are arranged in the science of naad, they have very specific transformative power.

Similarly, it is said that the total knowledge of God and ecstasy is contained in the first pauri. Recitation of this pauri eleven times a day will lift you from the deepest depression, insecurity, nightmares and loss. Meditation on each of the remaining 38 verses offers equally unique, rich and powerful pathways of healing, self-discovery and revelation. With the complete recitation of Japji Sahib, it is said that every problem can be solved and dissolved.

My father's friend, who is a Sikh involved with the Udaasi panth, says there was a sakhi I believe with Guru Angad Dev Ji. This was when a person had died and a fellow Sikh read Japji Sahib over this dead body and this came back to life. They say there was a extra pauri in Japji Sahib which was originally included in Guru Nanak Dev Jis version however it was taken out by the 2nd guru to make sure such a act doesn't happen again. The Udaasis know of this pauri.

I am no expert friend, but I had heard any Gurbani in Sri Raag can do that when the situation is right. Seems to me, that Guru Sahiban would have been beyond wise and either included it or not from the beginning.

On Vaisakhi 1699 Guru Gobind Singh Ji cut off the heads of 5 devoted people and then recited 5 banis while stirring is khanda in a baata full of water and pataase. Then he sprinkled a few drops of that Amrit on the bodies of the dead men and put it in their mouth and they became alive!

When Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji excommunicated Baba Ram Rai from Panth for changing the word 'Musalmaan' to 'Beyimaan' then he didn't want us to learn that a Sikh can't alter bani but he wanted to show us that bani is perfect and without any flaw and hence can't be altered according to situation one faces.

Guru sahib would never do this injustice to us! Guru Granth Sahib Ji also has current version of Japji Sahib only. If the current one is not the original Japji Sahib then we are also indirectly saying that Guru Granth Sahib Ji is incomplete which is not possible.

There might be another Gurbani of Sri Satguru jee (First Master), which was not included in the Sri Aad Granth by Sri Satguru jee (Fifth Master). If Daas finds out about it, Gurparsaad, will talk about it.

Bhai sahib the point is why wouldn't Guru Sahib follow the principles preached by himself. No-one is saying the Guru sahib is 'not allowed' to do xyz because whatever he will do, its the best thing to happen.

Guru Sahib gave a code of conduct to Sikhs. And Guru Sahib himself set an example for the Sikhs that how much should one be dedicated to Rehat. Guru sahib is parmeshar himself. Why would he have to fight battles, keep Amrit Vela even during a battle and sacrifice his whole family? All of that was his karamaat to inspire Sikhs and set an example of an ideal jeevan of a Sikh.

When Guru Sahib himself doesn't give the right to Sikhs to alter bani or remove or add any bani, then why would he himself not follow it? My point is not bounding Guru sahib to a code of conduct but this act, even thinking of doing this is a Paap which Guru sahib wouldn't do.

2. Guru Nanak Dev Ji sung bani as he received it from Sachkhand. As he received the bani He would sing it and give updesh to sangat. So my point is that bani is already perfect. There's no need to add or omit anything.

3. We are no-one to decide what guru sahib can do and cannot do. He can do anything he wishes to. But this doesn't mean that if someone says that Guru sahib did this xyz thing (which is morally wrong), we believe it and say whatever he did we can't understand his plays. We shouldn't believe these manmati things because Guru Sahib is perfect and can't do anything immoral. Bani is perfect.

4. Also, the source says that Guru Angad Dev Ji removed the pauri so that no-one can do that karamaat again in future. So, if today Udaasis have found that pauri then this means they can do that karamaat again. This would mean that Guru Angad Dev Ji couldn't successfully fulfill his objective of hiding that pauri from aam sangat. Can guru sahib failing be possible? Also, guru sahib must have hidden that pauri or given updesh to sangat to not read it again. Then how come Udaasis know that this pauri was part of which Baani, was written by which guru and why this pauri is not in Guru Granth Sahib? If someone finds such writings, the first thing he'll think is that it may be a kachi bani. In puratan gutke and saroop of guru sahib, people would write about their lineage and some family secrets at the end in poetic style. But Panth used its Bibek Budhi and rejected those writings.

There is a sakhi related to Shromani Bhagat, Baba Kabir jee Maharaaj in this regards. He saved a thief in his house by making him sleep next to his daughter. Many people did NINDA of Mahapurakh because of it.

This is mentioned in the japji Teeka by sant gurbachan singh ji. Udasis claim bhai gurdas ji said japji sahib has 4 pauri, but we see there are 38, so where are the other 2. But sant ji says the mool mantar and the last salok (pavan guru) counts as a pauri, therefore 40.

They remembered more of the paath by singing it. I would do one pauri for a couple of days before moving on to the next. We would do the same pauri over and over again. We then started doing all the ones we learned before learning a new one. Since, we do this every day and it has become part of our routine, the repetition and the singing just works. We started by just playing it in the car on the way to school, and now start at home and finish in the car.

The first pauri is an antidote to depression. It will lift you from the deepest depression, insecurity, nightmares and loss. The second pauri imparts patience and stability. The third pauri transforms insufficiency, turns depression into elevation and transforms low self-esteem into complete self confidence. The fourth pauri blesses those trapped in feelings of poverty and lack of means. It blasts through the trap of these feelings like a thunderbolt from the blue. The fifth pauri must be recited when you feel a sense of failure within yourself. When you feel that you are not up to the job this pauri will grant you all success. The sixth pauri dispels limitation. Recite it when you feel limited, cornered, trapped or coerced. When you suffer from greed, madness for power, overbearing expansion and the need to control, when you become trapped in your territoriality, the seventh pauri will heal you. The eight pauri gives the power to be a perfect sage. The ninth pauri gives expansion. The tenth pauri grants grace.

The eleventh pauri gives virtuousness. When you feel small, the twelfth pauri gives you solidarity of self, self-impressiveness and self-respect. The thirteenth pauri gives you the occult knowledge of infinity. It brings deep intuition. When you cannot find your path to life, when you cannot see the direction to your destiny, when you cannot achieve fulfilment, the fourteenth pauri will show you the way. The fifteenth pauri brings liberation.The sixteenth pauri gives knowledge of the structure of the universe. The seventeenth pauri brings freedom and resurrection. The eighteenth pauri fights madness, deep feelings of inferiority and self-destructive behaviour.The nineteenth pauri brings universal knowledge, inspiration and revelation. When the monsters are nipping at your heels, the twentieth pauri wipes away all your sins.
