Book excerpt: Do you want to be more content, compassionate, and joyful? Have you heard amazing things about what Japji can do for you? By devoting a few minutes each morning to this simple, sacred prayer, wonderful things become possible in your life! I discovered this heart-opening and life-changing prayer about ten years ago while taking yoga classes at a Kundalini Yoga studio. That studio offered an early morning sadhana (spiritual practice) every morning. There was 15 minutes of vigorous physical exercise, 75 minutes of singing various Kundalini spiritual songs, and about 30 minutes of sitting still, eyes closed, listening to a recording of Japji. The handful of times I went to early morning sadhana I found that I had a song in my heart for the rest of the day and this unconditional love for everyone around me and everything that happened! And given that I am a stressed-out, driven, and somewhat grumpy person, the transformation itself was a near-miracle! But that studio was a two-hour drive from my house so, over time, I lost touch with the studio and with that amazing early morning sadhana. And then recently--when I really needed some of that joy and serenity back in my life--I began thinking about my long-ago early morning sadhana experiences, and I began wondering if maybe the actual mechanism of action was the fact that we listened to the recording of Japji. I started listening to different Japji recordings on YouTube every morning, trying to read along with the English transliterations provided. But the transliterations I found were unclear; they made reading Japji harder, not easier. I realized that if I wanted to keep going with my Japji experiment I would need to make a transliteration (transcription) that worked for me, and that allowed me to mimic the Japji prayer-reader/reciter in real-time. This took me a long time, since I could only spend early mornings and occasional weekends working on it. As the weeks and months passed, I realized that I was different, I was responding differently to things, thinking differently about things. I was more patient, more compassionate, more content and understanding, both with myself and with others. I was experiencing more peace and joy in my life, and the only thing I was doing differently in my life was I was studying Japji a few minutes each morning. I began to think that Japji had a power beyond my understanding, and that the transliteration/transcription I was working on could help other people and not just myself. I hope you receive many blessings from your study of Japji, and I hope you are able to achieve the changes in your heart, mind, and life that you've always wanted. Everything is due to God, all virtues and powers are His; thank you, God, for everything; thank you for making this possible.
