Prologue : Once a group of Sikh leaded by Baba Budha came to Guru Arjan Dev ji, with
folded hand they humbly said, ‘Dear Guru Ji, it is a well known practice that the the
name of the month is heard from a good and virtuous person on the first day of the
month. Please composed a hymn that contains the sermon name of the month and the
guidance for each month in order for the beings to attain salvation’. Guru Ji replied, ‘Guru
Nanak Dev Ji has composed the hymn called Barah Maha in Tukhari Rag, read and
understand the hymn. Read the Barah Maha in congregation on the first day of the
month’. Sikhs with folded hands said, ‘The composition uttered by Guru Nanak is beyond
our comprehension as it uttered with deep meanings. Be merciful and utter the same
hymn with simple words which can be understood easily while one is reading it.’
Guru Arjan Dev Ji accepted the request and composed the second Barah Maha containing
the meaning of the Barah Maha uttered by Guru Nanak in Tukhari Rag. The first stanza
(Pauri) contains a begining prayer for the completion of the composition and the last
stanza (Pauri) contains the appreciation prayer marking the conclusion of the hymn.

previously. Therefore, we need to understand this fact in order to be grateful to Almighty
for the opportunity to realise the ultimate truth which is beyond our preception of mind.
With great fortune, Almighty is attained then all the pain of separation disappears. Guru
Ji pointed out clearly that the root of all pain is the separation from Almighty, therefore
one will remain in pain until he/she realises that our true form is Atma which is the
Almighty Himself. Pleasure and sorrow in life is experienced when we assume ourselves
as a separate identity due to the ego within, in order to get rid of this ego Guru Ji
demonstrates the method of pleading as follows;
