JapJi
Jap means to repeat, and Ji
means soul. Jap Ji Sahib is a
prayer or a sacred poem - one
of five daily prayers of the
Sikhs. It was composed by
Guru Nanak, the first Sikh
Guru who, with his companion,
Mardana, traveled on foot over
thousands of miles.
THE SONG OF
The most famous teaching
THE SOUL attributed to Guru Nanak is
that all are One, and that all
human beings can have direct
access to God with no need of
rituals or priests. His most
radical social teachings
denounced the caste system
and taught that everyone is
equal, regardless of caste or
gender.

Jap Ji is more than a prayer: it


is life-changing technology.
Each of the 40 pauris (or
"steps") offers a healing or
energetic alignment potential.
Reciting Jap Ji aloud uses
sound to bring total balance to
your being. You do not need to
be Sikh to benefit from it.

To read along with Jap Ji during


the eSolstice, you can
download the Jap Ji app from
Sikh Dharma International
or as a PDF translated into 20
different languages.

“Jap Ji, Guru Nanak’s


Meditation of the Soul, is a
direct transmission of his
enlightenment experience.
He gave us Jap Ji as a way to
experience our own
enlightenment as our souls
awaken in the recitation of
these sacred words.”
—Snatam Kaur

and 108 letters in the mantra (in its original language). Emphasize the “CH”
sound at the end of the word “SUCH,” but do not sustain the sound; this adds

A M OMENT OF S I L E N C E
"Please take a few minutes at the end
of the Aquarian Mantras to sit in
silence, allowing the resonance of the
chants to soak in, allowing the energy
of the practice to vibrate within, and
silently connect with the Divine.

In silence we find answers, feel


complete, and know the song of the
Universe before it unfolds in the new
day."

From the book Original Light
