It was apparently not all written at one time and the length of its verses, their metre and thought content frequently varies. The verses are in the nature of meditations, dealing with the fundamentals of the Sikh faith, namely, the conception of God, the place of the religious preceptor, the 9 importance of prayer, a belief in the triumph of right over wrong, of transmigration, life hereafter and salvation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the rest of the Granth Sahib, it has not been set to music and is never sung. The language of Japji is the Punjabi of the fifteenth century and is extremely difficult to translate. My translation is largely based on the commentaries of Bhai Vir Singh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKhushwant Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor an author bio, photo and a sample read, visit www.abhinavexports.tradeindia.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com","brand":"Apps Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164016886000,"sku":"2940012193100","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012193100_p0.jpg?v=1763553232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012193100","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
