Chaupai Sahib Paath 1.0.4

Chaupai Sahib, also known as Benti Chaupai, is a prayer or Bani composed by the tenth Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singh. This Bani is included in Charitar 404 of Dasam Granth in Bani Ath Pakhyan Charitar Likhyatey. It is one of the five Banis recited by initiated Sikhs every morning and forms a part of the evening prayer known as Rehras Sahib. The recitation of Benti Chaupai is believed to offer protection, promote positive focus, and energize individuals throughout the day.

This short composition typically takes less than five minutes to recite at a slow pace. It is written in straightforward Punjabi language, making it accessible to a wide range of speakers. The full name of this Sikh prayer or Gurbani is Kabiobach Bainti Chaupai, commonly referred to as Chaupai. Housed within the Dasam Granth, which is the second most essential Sikh Holy Book, this Bani follows the section called Charitropakhyan that illustrates various facets of worldly deceit and negativity. Following this contemplation, the tenth master composed this particular bani as an Ardas or a heartfelt plea to God for protection.

The composition is structured with sub-sections comprising Kabiyo Bach Benti Chaupai, Arril and Chaupai (which serves as a conclusion before Zafarnama), and Savaiye and Dohra (selected from an earlier section of Sri Dasam Granth).
