Summary of Question:	Suitable Reading Or Prayer On Peace?
Category:	Gurbani
Date Posted:	Saturday, 5/23/2009 8:07 AM MDT

I hope someone can help me. I have been asked to do a sikh reading or prayer during a multi-denominational service - I will have to speak for 2-3 minutes and the subject should be something related to peace and living together in harmony. Can anyone suggest a suitable prayer or extract from the guru granth sahib that has been translated.

Many thanks

Sat nam. There is an entire prayer in Sikhi called Sukhmani Sahib ("Peace Lagoon"). It teaches us that by meditation on the naam and listening to Gurbani we gain INNER peace, which then supports outer peace and harmony. You can research this and other bani in translation in the Sikhnet section on Siri Guru Granth Sahib and on the Shabads website http://fateh.sikhnet.com/GurbaniKirtan/. You might also look at Dukh Bhajan Tayraa Naam shabd. Guru ang sang,
