Opis

Prayer At Dawn is an attempt to translate Japuji Sahib in simple, modern North American English verse and explain it for the beginner and cruious. Japuj is the prayer, the divine song that the followers of the Sikh faith recite at dawn every day. Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion wrote this exquisite song in praise of God, the creator and provider of the creation. Japuji, the first verse at the beginning of the 1430 pages of Guru Granth Sahib, explains that there is ONE God and no other entity exists without His will. God loves and takes care of everyone, of every faith and even agnostics and atheists. Thus, Japuji has universal message for humanity irrespective of individual's faith or lack of it.
The messages and ideas in the Japuji and in Guru Granth Sahib have universal appeal. They preach absolute love, faith and submission to God and God's will. It has no conflict with science or scientific thought either.
