===Singing and Music===
Sikhs refer to the hymns of the gurus as ''[[Gurbani]]'' ({{Literal translation|Guru's word}}). [[Shabad (hymn)|Shabad]] [[Kirtan]] is the singing of Gurbani. The entire [[Guru Granth Sahib]] is written in the form of poetry and rhyme to be recited in thirty-one ragas of classical Indian music as specified. However, the exponents of these are rarely to be found amongst the Sikhs who are conversant with all the Ragas in the Guru Granth Sahib. [[Guru Nanak]] started the Shabad Kirtan tradition and taught that listening to kirtan is a powerful way to achieve tranquility while meditating, and singing of the glories of the "Supreme Timeless One" (God) with devotion is the most effective way to come in communion with the "Supreme Timeless One".<ref>{{cite book |last=Singh |first=Joginder |title=Celestial Gems |date=2004 |publisher=Hemkunt Press |isbn=978-81-7010-345-5 |page=67}}</ref> The three morning prayers for Sikhs consist of [[Japji Sahib]], [[Jaap Sahib]], and [[Tav-Prasad Savaiye]].<ref name="diaspora">{{cite book |title=Sikhs in the Diaspora: A Modern Guide to the Practice of Sikh Faith |publisher=Sikh Publishing House |last=Bakhshi |first=Surinder Singh |chapter=Chapter 22 – Nitnem |date=2008 |page=133 |isbn=978-0-9560728-0-1}}</ref> Baptised Sikhs ([[Amritdharis]]) rise early and meditate, then recite all the [[Five Banis]] of Nitnem, before breakfast. The Five Banis consist of Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Tav-Prasad Savaiye, [[Chaupai Sahib]], [[Anand Sahib]]; recitation of the banis ''[[paath]]'' is followed by [[Ardās]], in which the [[Sarbat da Bhala]] principle is taught by gurus.<ref name="Kalsi_Chelsea">{{cite book |surname=Kalsi |given=Sewa Singh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YOI1nB_zTyAC |title=Sikhism |publisher=Chelsea House Publishers |year=2005 |isbn=0-7910-8098-6 |series=Religions of the World |place=Philadelphia |pages=41–50 |access-date=15 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231111152823/https://books.google.com/books?id=YOI1nB_zTyAC |archive-date=11 November 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Cole_Sambhi">{{cite book |last1=Cole |first1=William Owen |title=The Sikhs: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices |last2=Sambhi |first2=Piara Singh |date=1995 |publisher=Sussex Academic Press |page=200}}</ref><ref name="Teece 2004 4">{{cite book |last=Teece |first=Geoff |title=Sikhism: Religion in focus |date=2004 |publisher=Black Rabbit Books |isbn=978-1-58340-469-0 |page=4}}</ref>
