Nitnem: Spiritual Practices of Sikhism

Swami Rama

Nitnem is a daily prayer book of the Sikhs, which collects the verses sung and recited daily by all practicing Sikhs and those who are aware of the teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev. These beautiful verses are read every morning, at sunset, and before retiring to inspire and elevate the heart. When writing this book, it was Swamiji’s intention that an appreciation of these beautiful compositions would inspire the reader to daily remembrance of the Word and that their minds and hearts would be redirected to the Supreme One’s expression of compassion, love, and service for mankind.
