About 'Sukhmani Sahib Path' Ji: -

Shri 'Sukhmani Sahib' is the name given to the set of hymns/ path/ paath divided into 24 sections which appear in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Scriptures on page 262. Each section of Sukhmani Sahib, which is called an Ashtpadi(asht means 8), consists of 8 hymns per Ashtpadi.

The word Sukhmani literally means Peace in your mind. This set of Hymns or Bani is very popular among the Sikhs, who frequently recite it in their places of worship called Gurdwaras and at home. The full recital takes about 90 minutes and is normally undertaken by everyone in the congregation. According to Sikh doctrine, this Bani is believed to bring peace to one's mind and compoundly peace to the world. This set of 192 hymns were compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
