PREFACE
Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji ordered that if a mistake was ever made in thepublic reading of any Gurbani, it should always be immediatelycorrected by someone present (regardless of who the reader is!).Once when a Sikh of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji misprounced onesound of Gurbani in his presence, the Guru reprimanded himimmediately and informed him that prayer from the Sri Guru GranthSahib (SGGS) is just like a limb of the Guru, and making a mistakewhile reciting Gurbani (prayer) is like hurting Guru Ji.The current widespread practice of shortening the recitation ofGurbani compositions such as Mool Mantar goes beyond innocent“mispronunciations”. The spiritual repercussions of such misdeedscan only be imagined in His Court!Gurbani instructs, “
Do not do such a deed for which you have toregret in the end
”.There are credible reasons why the Mool Mantar should be read in itsentirety - till
Nanak hosi bhi such.

Since my childhood i am chanting MOOL MANTAR, but sorry to say i was just chantinting MANGAL AACHRAN.Such a big mistake though i have completed several sahaj paths even worshipped to do AKHAND PATH in one sitting but you have opened my eyes.I agree 4 dandi's are itself giving proof of the end of MOOL MANTAR> No other proof is needed any more. ---AJMER SIGH RANDHAWA
