Ardiis
The word 'Ardas' means a pelJ.tlon, a memorial or an
address to a superior aurhority. It is a petition of a soul
before rhe Supreme Lord.
To pray God for uninterrupted fulfillment of every wish is
a custom in Sikhism.
It is rhe hearty prayer which Sikhs, individually or in
congregation, recite morning and evening before launching off
and after completion of any task.
If rhe Parkash of GurU Granrh Sahib is not rhere, rhe
performing of Ardas facing any direction is acceptable.
A Sikh should pray to God before launching off any task,
so rhat one does not feel proud of oneself an'd acquire
humility.
When rhe mind bows before rhe All-Powerful Lord
and is dependent on His blessings, rhe said Ardas is
accepted.
Ardas is a brief manifestation of rhe Sikh history in
which Guru Sahib, five beloved ones, Sikh concepts and
martyred Sikhs are remembered daily.
