So part of my discomfort revolved around the idea that I "should" continue spiritual practices within "my own" tradition. The book ‘JAPJI Sahib: A Complete Way of Life” attempts to facilitate the understanding of Japji Sahib, the daily Morning Prayer of Sikhs – incorporated at the beginning of ‘Shri Guru Granth Sahib’ the scripture of Sikhs – which is to be viewed as a single continuous and compact message of Guru Nanak, depicting unity of the directive principles of Sikhism. It is the most important Bani or 'set of verses' and is lovingly recited by all Sikhs every morning. Whether writing adventurous tales, painting in watercolor or oils, Jiwan Randhir is always creating and blending the old with the new. Nach dem Lesen verschiedener englischer und deutscher Übersetzungen und Kommentare von Guru Nanak’s Japji Sahib muss man feststellen dass eine eindeutige Übersetzung in eine Sprache wie Englisch oder Deutsch unmöglich scheint.

The Japji, claims the existence of other worlds and planets, a concept that had not been entertained in the World at the time of its writing.However, where there is a direct instruction to be followed by human beings, the translation, in bold print, has been coloured red and has been center-aligned. Imagination and intuition, besides knowledge of the topic concerned, as of the traditions and other writings of the Great Guru, prove to be a great guide. The Jaap Sahib is, like Japji Sahib, in praise of God as the unchanging, loving, unborn, ultimate power and includes within it 950 names of God, [1] starting with Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu and moving on to over 900 names and avatars of gods and goddesses found in Hindu traditions, with the assertion that these are all manifestations of the One, the limitless eternal creator. There is a school of thought, which explains Japji Sahib as expansion of the introductory ‘Mool Mantra’.

According to Christopher Shackle, it is designed for "individual meditative recitation" and as the first item of daily devotional prayer for the devout.

Darüber hinaus findet man eine kurze Einleitung über Guru Nanak, ein Vorwort zur Deutschen Übersetzung und zahlreiche Fußnoten mit Erklärungen zu wichtigen Ausdrücken und Mythologien, sowie eine kurze Liste mit Literatur zum Japji Sahib.
