ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sukhmani Sahib

Sukhmani Sahib is a special prayer that Sikhs like to recite. It is a really long and beautiful prayer that talks about the different qualities of God and how we can best connect with him.

The prayer is made up of 24 parts, called "ashtpadi". Each part has eight verses that explain different things about God and how we can become better people.

Think of it like a big book that teaches us how to be good and how to talk to God. It's like a really long letter that we can read to help us feel closer to God and to feel more peaceful in our lives.

People like to recite Sukhmani Sahib in the mornings or evenings, or whenever they feel like they need some extra help or guidance in their lives. It's a really beautiful prayer and a special part of Sikh culture.
