Kirtan Sohila Paath: A Powerful Night Time Prayer for Sikhs
Kirtan Sohila Paath is a free iPhone application developed by Karampreet Singh, falling under the category of Education & Reference, specifically Books. This app is dedicated to the night time prayer said by all Sikhs before they go to sleep. The Kirtan Sohila Paath comprises five shabads contributed by three Sikh Gurus - Guru Nanak, Guru Ram Das, and Guru Arjan. These shabads beautifully express the pain of separation and the bliss of union with the Almighty. The harmonious Naad of this prayer multiplies the aura and eliminates negativity within miles.
Reciting Kirtan Sohila provides protection from any form of direct or indirect danger and creates a magnetic field of safety around you. It is even known to be a cure for insomnia. The religious and artistic value of these hymns is truly superb. The first shabad visualizes the union of the personal self with the Ultimate Reality, while the second shabad emphasizes the singularity of the Ultimate despite the diversity of scriptures, teachers, and philosophies. The third shabad rejects external piety and ritual, presenting the entire cosmos as harmonious worship. The fourth shabad highlights the importance of the divine Name in annulling suffering and transmigration. Lastly, the fifth shabad celebrates life and encourages serving others to attain divine merit. Kirtan Sohila Paath is also recited before cremation, following a death. This powerful prayer can be found on pages 12 to 13 of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Scriptures.
