Sukhmani Sahib is the Prayer of Peace and joy of mind, set of 192 padas. This Gurbani text was written by the 5th Guru, Guru Arjan (1563–1606) at Amritsar in around 1602.[3] Guru Arjan first recited the bani at Gurdwara Barth Sahib in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India. Reciting the entire Sukhmani Sahib takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and is sometimes undertaken by everyone in a smaller congregation with turn-by-turn reading. Reciting the Gurbani of Sukhmani Sahib is believed to bring peace to one's mind and aid help remembering God constantly.
