Bana and Bani?

Hands up: What does Bana and Bani mean?

The “Bana" or form, the personal appearance of a Khalsa, is one of the foremost ways that a Khalsa maintains his or her consciousness as Sri Guru Gobind Singh intended.

The word "Bani" refers to their utterances and writings of the Gurus. So the combined word "Gurbani" means the writings of the Gurus as found Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Jee.

The Sikh uniform means nothing without Bani which provides the

essence of the Bana.

Hands up: What is Nitnem?

Nit Nem: literally means "Daily routine or habit“ of Naam.

Nitnem is a collaboration of different banis that were designated to be read by Sikhs every day.

TASK: Thought shower barriers we face in trying to do daily Nitnem

Page 12: Bani  and  Bana

Biggest problem: I don’t understand the meanings??

Sri Guru Har Rai Jee was once asked whether there was any benefit

gained by reading the Guru’s Bani without understanding it. "Yes," he replied, "as grease sticks to the pot

even when it is emptied, so does the Guru’s Word stick to the heart.

Whether you understand it or not, the Word bears the Seed of

Salvation. Perfume persists in the broken pieces even after the vase

that contained it has been shattered."

ELC: Write down 5 ways we can overcome these barriers.
