Chaupai Sahib

About This Bani

Chaupai Sahib is Guru Gobind Singh Ji's personal prayer for protection — a plea to God to guard and protect the devotee at all times. It was composed during the most difficult period of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's life, after the Battle of Chamkaur where he lost his two elder sons.

Why We Recite This

Chaupai Sahib is recited every morning to place oneself under God's protection for the day. Many Sikhs also recite it when they feel fearful, anxious, or in danger. It is a Bani that fills the heart with courage and reminds us that God is our guardian.
