Anand Sahib: This Bani is part of the Nitnem (prayers) which are read by Sikhs in the morning. This Bani was written by Guru Amar Das Ji, the third Guru of the Sikhs and forms part of the 5 Banis that are recited daily by Sikhs. The Bani appears on pages 917 to 922 of Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Scripture. It is said that the person who recites this Holy Bani daily with dedication, attention, and comprehension, will achieve Anand (Complete Happiness or Bliss) in life.

Anand Sahib is also chanted at all religious ceremonies of the Sikhs, irrespective of the nature of event, whether it is a marriage or death. In the beautiful composition and with the Grace of Sri Guru Amar Das Ji, the mind and soul of a true Sikh remains steadfast and goal oriented in all circumstances of life. In an awakened mind, intoxicated with the Nectar of Naam, one is always tuned with the Sweet Will of the Lord in all the ups and downs of life, in pain and pleasure alike. His is a mind which is ever luminous with Guru Consciousness and is in perpetual intoxication of Naam and Amrit Bani, accepting without question the Hukam of the Almighty. All Dukh (Pain) and Sukh (Pleasure) appear as one to the devoted Sikh of the Guru.
Anand: Bliss, blessing and Love
Bliss, Anand, and Love of the Beloved Satguru is a strange and mysterious phenomenon. It is this Supreme Blissful Anand which flows from the mouth of Sri Guru Amar Das Ji. The Guru’s Love with His Beloved Satguru that has inspired the Anand Sahib, bursts out like showers of soothing rain in the overpowering heat of the mid-summer sun. This is indeed an Eternal Blessing in the shape of the Holy Anand Sahib, for the whole of mankind for all times to come. This Bani is completely enveloping, engulfing, overwhelming, and gripping in its nature and effect. Pure Guru Consciousness totally takes over. It completely encircles and grips all the faculties and senses of a true lover and opens the flood gates of Pure Love (Param) for Him and His Creation. One remains totally immersed in this Ocean of Bliss.

Having tasted the Nectar of Divine Bliss in meeting the Beloved Satguru and having tasted the Naam Ras by Satguru’s Grace, no worldly happiness and pleasure is comparable to a fraction of this Bliss and no worldly sorrows and affliction can unbalance and shake this Bliss because once one is submerged in this Bliss, one completely transcends all pleasant and unpleasant dimensions of the living experience.

Sri Guru Amar Das Ji most wonderfully expresses the Supreme Bliss experienced, enjoyed, and attained in begetting, finding, and meeting the Holy True Guru.

In this hour of Supreme Bliss, all celestial musicians, nymphs, and fairies have rushed forth in joining and singing the Glory of the Lord and Satguru. All celestial singers and Raags have joined in this symphony of ecstasy and captured this state of continuous rapture.

All seeming earthly joys of the world disappear and vanish at the time of death. The fleeting joys and pleasures of the world abruptly end up with the death of the body. But True Anand/Bliss blessed by the Satguru survives even death. It is ‘Sadeevi Sukh’, Perpetual Joy, Infinite and Supreme Heavenly state, True Affection for Eternity; Never changing; Always there.

Merged in this Anand, one rises far above all dualities. This Anand is different from the worldly pleasures or joy. It is also not dependant on worldly objects. This Anand pertains to the Bliss of the Atam (Soul, Primal energy). It does not diminish in adversity. It is perpetual in all the ups and downs of life. This Anand transcends pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow. Merged in this Anand, one is actually merged in the Lord, and he feels, beholds, and experiences only the Eternal Presence of the Lord every moment of his earthly life.
