Gurbāṇī, “the Guru’s word”, refers to the compositions collected in the Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhs regard it as revealed, the voice of the Guru speaking in every age. It is sung in measured rāgas, recited in daily prayers, and read continuously in the akhaṇḍ pāṭh, an unbroken reading of the whole scripture.
