Jap Ji Sahib consists of the Mool Mantra, an opening Salok, a set of 38 Paurees (Hymns) and a final Salok. This Bani is inscribed at the very beginning of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It explains how the barriers of deceit and falsehood can be broken in life and how to become one with God.

This is the most important Bani or 'set of verses', and is recited by all Sikhs every morning. The word 'Jap' means to 'recite'/'to 'chant'/'to stay focused onto'. 'Ji' is a word that is used to show respect as is the word 'Sahib'
This Bani was composed by the founder of the Sikh faith, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who was the first of ten human Gurus of this faith. The Ten Gurus of Sikhism were responsible for the creation of this faith which took place over period 1469 to 1708 - a period of about 239 years. At the point when the last of these Gurus, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, departed this Earth, the Guruship was passed to the Holy Book, Siree Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Siree Guru Granth Sahib Ji is treated as a living Guru and the respect shown for Thy Commandments is unique. This Bani encompasses the spirit & theme of whole of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Bibi Gurdev Kaur OBE recites Jap Ji Sahib in her melodious voice. Everyone can join in and read along as this recitation provides subtitles in Punjabi and English both. Bibiji recorded the recitation of this Bani in 1993 for her Talking Book of Three Sikh Prayers, . For her outstanding contributions to religious and cultural literature for children born and bred in the western hemisphere, she has been honoured by many Sikh organisatins including Shromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar and Dehli Gurdwara Parbandhak Committre. She was awarded "Sharomani Bal Sahitkar" award by Punjab Bhasha Vibhag in 1997.
