Ardās

The Sikh congregational prayer of petition and remembrance, said standing at the end of worship.

Also: Ardas

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Ardās recalls the Gurus, the martyrs and the sacrifices of the community, then asks for God’s blessing on the congregation and on all humankind. It ends with the words “Nānak nām chaṛhdī kalā, tere bhāṇe sarbat dā bhalā”: through Nānak, may the Name ever rise, and by your will may all be well.
