Ardaas
Ik oankaar Waaheguroo jee kee fateh,
Sree Bhagauti Ji Sahaae.
Vaar Sri Bhagauti Jee kee Paatshaahee Dasvee(n)
After first contemplating the Primal Power of the Almighty, call to mind Guru Nanak.
Then think lovingly of Guru Angad, Guru Amar Daas and Guru Raam Daas, may they watch over us.
Meditate in remembrance upon Guru Arjun, Guru Hargobind and Siri Har Rai.
Reflect upon Guru Har Krishan, seeing whom all sufferings shall depart.
Meditate in remembrance upon Guru Tayg Bahadar, and the nine treasures shall hasten to your home. May they protect and help us everywhere.
And the Tenth Master, Guru Gobind Singh Jee, father of the Khalsa who has blessed us with the gift of Amrit – may we enjoy his protection everywhere.
The Light of the Ten Gurus, the Living Guru, the Word of God, the Truth of Truths, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib; contemplating Its divine darshan, Khalsa Jee Sahib, Bolo Jee, “SIRI WAAHAY GUROO!”
Let us lovingly remember the Panj Piaaray; the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh; the forty liberated ones; those who have meditated upon the Naam, and shared with others in need, without thought of reward. Those who held firm to their faith in the face of adversity and hardship. Those who have defended the weak and oppressed. Those who saw the faults in others, but overlooked those faults, and instead saw the Spirit of God in all people. Thinking of their deeds,
Khalsa Jee Sahib, Bolo Jee, “SIRI WAAHAY GUROO!”
Let us remember all those Sikh men and women who, for the sake of the Dharma, and the religious and spiritual freedom of all people, stood up to the worst kinds of torture and gave their lives, but never gave up their faith, and their determination to live according to the Sikh rehat, with all their hair, to their last breath. Remembering their sacrifice, and their glorious victory,
Khalsa Jee Sahib, Bolo Jee, “SIRI WAAHAY GUROO!”
May the primary prayer of the Khalsa be to always hold in the heart
WAHAY GUROO, WAAHAY GUROO, WAAHAY GUROO.”
As we think of Him, so may we be blessed. May God’s Grace and Protection extend to all bodies of the Khalsa, wherever they may be. May God’s Glory be fulfilled, and may His Sweet Will prevail. May we achieve Victory through the Charity of Brotherhood and the Sword of Righteousness. Dayg, Tayg, Fateh!. May the Khalsa triumph and prevail forever
Khalsa Jee Sahib, Bolo Jee, “SIRI WAAHAY GUROO!”
May the minds of the Sikhs be humble, but their wisdom be profound; may You Yourself be the keeper of our wisdom, O Wahegurujee. Grant to Your Sikhs the Gift of Sikh Dharma, the Gift of Your Naam, the gift of long and uncut hair, the Gift of Faith, of confidence in You, the gift of wisdom and discernment, the Gift of reading and understanding the Word of Your Bani. Grant us the Blessing of bathing in the Nectar pool of the Harimandir Sahib. May the Sikhs be united in love and brotherhood.
Khalsa Jee Sahib, Bolo Jee, “SIRI WAAHAY GUROO!”
Waheguruji, Honor of the humble, Strength of the weak, Shelter of the shelterless, we offer this prayer in Your Presence; by Your Grace we are gathered together this day, to sing Your Sweet Bani, to hear your life-giving Word, and speak of Your Manifold Blessings. May these things find a loving place within our hearts, and serve to draw our souls ever closer to You. Please bless this service that we may continue in this effort to gather and practice the Guru’s Word in this land so far from our roots.
[****** add any other special prayers here *******]
Please [bless us with the Holy Word of Your Hukam]. Inspire us to walk on the path of Gurmat shown to us by You through the Holy Word of Gurbaanee. Please forgive us our many sins, our errors and omissions, and help us, that we may keep ourselves pure, in the face of the challenges and temptations of the world. Bless us with the company of only people of love, so that we may remember Your Naam in their presence.
Through the gift of the Naam given to us by Naanak, may we always remain in Chardi Kalaa. Within Your will, we pray for the welfare of all humanity,.
