There is no strong evidence which proves it was complied using different banis. While its true that Deg use to be made while japping Naam I still am convinced SRi Japji Sahib was part of Charan Di Pahul and nitem in the time of of Pehli Patshaah.
#JAPJI SAHIB JI HOW TO#
Quote Mostly Singhs who prepare Degh do Paaths of Siri Jap jee Sahib and Siri Anand Sahib but it's not mandatory to do so while preparing Degh because some Singhs who don't have these Baanis Kanth (as was the case in olden days for Singhs who did not know how to read or write), can do Manglacharan or above all Naam Abhyaas as Bhai Nandlal jee has written about preparing Degh - Vaheguru bin Avar na kahe". I do believe that Guru Angad Dev Ji had some involvement with Sri Jupp Ji Sahib as we know that the last Salok, "Pavan Guru, Panee Pitha", is by Guru Angad Dev Ji. I believe the Miharban Janamsakhi is the only Janamsakhi which mentions this account. He said that Japu is meant to be recited at an ambrosial hour in the morning and that every Sikh must read it after taking his bath. Guru Nanak was highly pleased at the composition of the Japu. Thus came into being the present form of the Japu. He would recite these stanzas to Guru Nanak for getting approval of the order of arrangement. Then Bhai Lehna began arranging these stanzas.
He would also say that eulogies of God are to be sung only after bathing in the morning. When the latter recited these stanzas, Guru Nanak would listen to them while bathing. The Guru accepted the selection made by Lehna. Thus, one morning Lehna recited thirty-eight stanzas from the corpus of Guru Nanak's entire works. Guru Nanak would look very carefully at the selection made by Lehna. He used to recite these stanzas to Guru Nanak every morning. Lehna began selecting the stanzas (Miharban Janamsakhi suggests that the last eleven stanzas of Sri Jupp Ji Sahib were composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji alongside the Sidh Gosht). Guru Nanak put the following at the head of his compilation:Īad Such, Jugaad Such, Hai Bhi Such, Nanak, Hosi Bhi Such The Guru gave all his works to Lehna and desired that out of these stanzas eulogizing God be set apart. Such a composition should be complete in itself. Keeping this is mind, one day he asked Lehna to prepare a composition for recitation in the morning by culling hymns from his works. Guru Nanak thought that there should be one specific for morning recitation as well. No particular composition was specified to be recited in the morning. In the evening were recited the Sodaru and the Rahiras. Kirpal Singh and it is taken from the Miharban Janamsakhi: (I have made edits to this extract to hopefully make it clearer)Īt Kartarpur, the Sikhs would get up early in the morning and recite the hymns recommended by Guru Nanak. Here's is an extract from "Janamsakhi Tradition - An Analytical Study" by Dr. Also, if someone has the Sri Japji Sahib steeks of Maskeen Ji or Giani Harbans Singh Ji can you provide info on what they have said about the history of Sri Japji Sahib. I cant remember the book and page number where he said this, but if someone can remember can you provide the source. I remember reading in one of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Jis books he too has mentioned that this bani was not compiled on a later date nor was it first recited during the time of the Siddhs. There is so much info on the history of the most recited and popular banis like Sri Sukhmani Sahib, Siddh Gosht, Dakhni Oankar, Bara Maha etc but there is virtually little information on the history of Sri Jap Ji Sahib. Surely, Sri Jap Ji the first bani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was included.

Secondly, Bhai Gurdas Ji mentions when Sri Guru Ji went on his travels he carried a pothi sahib full of bani. To some extent I used to believe in both beliefs but after further contemplation both theories seem unlikely.įirstly, Sri JapJi Sahib couldn't have been complied by Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji as Bhai Gurdas Ji mentions this was the daily nitnem of Gursikhs of Kartarpur Sahib.
I remember Baba Waryam Singh Ji mentioning this somewhere. There is another belief that states this bani was recited when Sri Guru Ji went to the mountains to talk to the Siddhas.
According to popular belief the pauris of Sri Japji Sahib were recited at different times and locations, and then later complied during the times of Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji.
