Ardaas
The word Ardaas translates to a humble request by a servant. The purpose of it is to provide us a way to offer a request or plea to Waheguru. It serves as a spiritual means of offering gratitude or making a heartfelt plea to Waheguru. As an Ardaas holds deep meaning, it can be requested to celebrate, seek guidance or commemorate.
An Ardaas can be requested:
- To honour Sikh festivals or commemorate the lives and teachings of the Gurus
- To celebrate joyous events such as births, birthdays, anniversaries or to seek blessings for weddings
- During funerals or memorials to bring peace to the soul of the departed and comfort to the family.
- To thank the Guru for blessings received, to seek guidance or for well-being.
Venue:
An Ardaas is
conducted in the Gurdwara Sahib. A personal Ardaas can be requested for any
time or can be added as part of the Ardaas at the end of a diwaan.
