Banis

Gurbani is a Sikh term, commonly used by Sikhs to refer to any compositions of the Sikh Gurus and other Writers of Guru Granth Sahib. In general, hymns in the central text of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib, are called Gurbani. Among Amritdhari Sikhs, few texts from Dasam Granth which are read in Nitnem like Tav-Parsad Svaiyey and Chaupai are also considered Gurbani. In Adi Granth, Gurbani is a sound which directly comes from the Supreme and the text is a written form of the same in worldly language and scripts. It is also called Gun Bani. Gurbani are explanations of qualities of the Primal Lord and Soul which a Sikh should comprehend and with which he can attain the supreme state.
