ABOUT THE BOOK

Sacred Nitnem by Harbans Singh Doabia is one of the most respected and widely used English translations of the Sikh daily prayer book. First published in the 1970s, it serves as a vital bridge for English-speaking Sikhs and spiritual seekers to understand the profound "Gurbani" (the Guru's word).

"Nitnem" literally means "Daily Discipline." It refers to the specific set of prayers (Banis) that a Sikh is prescribed to recite at different times of the day—dawn, sunset, and before sleep.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Harbans Singh Doabia (1907–1999) was a distinguished legal luminary, a profound scholar of Sikhism, and a prolific author who dedicated his life to making the complex spiritual philosophy of the Guru Granth Sahib accessible to the modern, English-speaking world.

He is best remembered for his ability to combine the analytical precision of a legal mind with the deep devotion of a practicing Sikh.
