Gurbani is all poetry. It can be

sung. Singing of Gurbani is called

Keertan. The people who sing

Gurbani are called Ragi Jatha.

There are three people in a Jatha.

Two people play Vaaja and one

plays Tabla.

The person who tells stories/

Sakhis to help us understand the

messages from Gurbani is called

the Kathakaar.

One sewadaar

sits behind

Guru Granth

Sahib and

waves the

Chaur Sahib-

the big fan.

One person serves Parshad to people. He or she is called

Parshaadia. We receive Parshaad in cupped hands.

The person who cooks Langar is called a Laangri. Langar is

served to everyone in a Langar Hall.

We remember Waheguru when we come to Gurdwara. When

we think of Waheguru, we think of good things.
