When do we do Ardas?
We can do Ardas anytime and anywhere. We can do personal Ardas at home
before we go to school. We can do Ardas in the car. We can do the personal
Ardas for any purpose related to our own life. It can be a silent prayer or we can
say it out loud. It can end with a Shukrana, a thanks to Waheguru
In Sikhism, there is also a congregational Ardas, which has well defined structure
and format. We will discuss that in next chapter.
