These Shabads are recited during Hawan(holy fire) in Bishnoi houses in all social functions on birth, marriage, death, jagaran etc. and in Bishnoi temples during religious gatherings melas, amawas etc. PAHAL(sacred water) is distributed after the Havan. In some temples Shabads are recited daily and in others recording of Shabads is played. The learned followers (Mahatma) of Guru ji remembered these SHABADS and passed on to further learned followers and finally 120 Shabads printed in the book called SHABAD VANI. This holy book containing GURU VANI(Shabads) is sort of VEDA for Bishnoi community. The SHABADS are in in Rajasthani dialect of that area and period. Some are easy to understand by Rajasthani speaking people but others are difficult to understand by others. The SHABAD VANI describes the god, religion, moksha, history, art of living, social values, ethics, love & peace, harmony with environment (animals, trees), bad practices(andh vishvas & kuritian) of that period in very simple words & examples. Guru ji said, “ shabad mahi shabad samai” means there are many more words/meaning hidden in my shabads. Some one rightly said, “Shabad ra arth anant, jane hai sirjan har” means meanings of shabads are infinite and the creator only knows the complete meaning. Many writers have translated these shabads in Hindi but not in English language. Instead of going into too deep in spiritualism, I will translate some easy & most practical Shabads of guruvani in English for the benefit of all and especially younger generation who are not much aware about meanings of these Shabads.
