INSIDE THE GURU'S GATE - Anpere

Guru Gobind Singh when he formed this community [panth]. We
should remember the people who were martyrs for the religion and the
country. We do Ardas for them to God.
5. A middle-aged businessmen
Ardas is everything. Ardas is like when you have eaten food but not
taken any water, the food will not go into your body. We do the Ardas
in front of God. In Ardas we tell what mistake we have made, forgive
us for that and give us strength for the future.
6. A middle-aged businessman
Ardas is done in front of the feet of God and you ask for your own welfare
and the welfare of the world. Have you listened to the last line, it
goes: “Nanak ka nam chardi kala, tera bani sarbat da bhalla”. Both
good and bad people will get welfare, you ask for the welfare of people
from any caste.
7. A middle-aged housewife
Ardas is remembering the God. If we are going out, or someone is sick,
we do ardas. Everyday in the morning when we are doing puja then we
do Ardas.
8. A middle-aged businessman
Ardas is for the welfare of everyone. When we go to school there will
be a prayer, similar like that Ardas is a prayer. In all kinds of work
there is Ardas. Before doing anything we take permission from God by
an Ardas. Without Ardas the work is incomplete. Ardas completes
things.
9. A middle-aged businesswoman
Ardas is prayer, it is recited from inside. After doing path you have to
do Ardas. In Ardas there are the names of the ten Gurus. When we take
their names, they are present. So we should be in attention.
10. An elderly businesswoman
Ardas means to pray and to give thanks. Guru Gobind Singh’s deeds
are in the Ardas, and we also give thanks to God for giving us all this.
Whatever reading we have done, whatever time we have been giving
to God, in the Ardas we say, please God accept my worship.
