Thirty-eight Pauris of Japuji Sahib

God does exist even before Japu begins.
And remains truth after Maya vanishes.

Japu is the bridge between God and Maya.
Japu is receiving Name of God from Guru.

Japuji begins alone with Godly attributes.
Those are from Ayk Onkar to Gur Prasaad.

Spoken in sounds those are thirty-eight.
Each is representing a Stanza of Japuji.

You want to share the joy counting those.
Please include Balbir also in your squad.
