There is a Image going around Social Media that I am working to understand and correct. (work in progress, please help correct or with research – leave comments):

Ardas is an integral part of Sikh religion. It is a concise and straight communion with God. It is the prayer offered by the Sikhs before or after any function or activity or occasion, happy or sad. Literal meaning: ‘Ardas’ is derived from the Persian word Arz meaning supplication and Dast meaning hands. In other words, a supplication to a higher power not supported by a written prayer. Ardas is addressed to the supreme- being, all those present stand with folded hands and closed eyes facing Guru Granth Sahib. The person leading in Ardas says the prayer where as the congregation listens to it and joins in at certain intervals to say, “Waheguru.”

The text of Ardas is divided into three parts. The first part appears as a prologue to Chandi Dee Var composed by Guru Gobind Singh invoking blessings of the Sword, God and then ten Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib in the order of precedence and must be rendered without any additions or deletions. The second part is composed by Sikh scholars and must also be recited as prescribed. It recounts the events of Sikh history. It reminds the listener of the great sacrifices made by the Sikh martyrs for the protection of the Sikh religion. The third part consists of thanks giving and can be modified according to the nature of the occasion. The re-citer then mentions the purpose and the occasion for offering the prayer. Then he invokes the Lord’s blessings for the success of the function, the project undertaken or to be undertaken; peace progress health and welfare of an individual / family. Ardas, after completion of a task, is an expression of grateful thanks to the Lord for the success granted in the execution of the task. Last but not the least, in the Ardas, a humble appeal is made:

O Lord, save us from lust, wrath, greed, undue attachment and conceit. Let there be peace all around. O Father, grant success to everyone in his / her efforts. Bestow the bliss of Holy Name on us all and keep us in the company of persons devoted to thy-self. O God, give us humility in behaviour and nobility in thought. Forgive us for our shortcomings and acts of omission and commission. May your Holy Name be ever in ascendance and may peace and progress come to the entire mankind.

Leading in Ardas: No priest is required to address it. Anybody, man or woman, old or young, fully conversant with the text of Ardas and able to express himself / herself in a correct, coincise and moving manner in the congregation (Sangat), can lead in Ardas. In Sikhism Ardas is performed in standing position with folded hands

Importance of Ardas in Sikhism :The Sikh’s conception of God is personal. He moves in him like a fish in the water, and lives with him like a wife with her husband. He is in constant communion with him through prayer. Therefore prayer is much used in Sikhism. No ceremony, either religious or secular is complete without prayer. The Sikh Scripture chiefly consists of prayers:

The Sikh has to bring himself into prayerful mood before he addresses himself to God. Therefore the Sikhs offer following prelude to Ardas:

ਤੂ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਤੁਮ ਪਹਿ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥
तू ठाकुरु तुम पहि अरदासि ॥
Ŧū ṯẖākur ṯum pėh arḏās.
You are our Lord and Master; to You, I offer this prayer.

ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਸਭੁ ਤੇਰੀ ਰਾਸਿ ॥
जीउ पिंडु सभु तेरी रासि ॥
▫o pind sabẖ ṯerī rās.
This body and soul are all Your property.

Ŧumrī kirpā mėh sūkẖ gẖanere.
In Your Grace, there are so many joys!

ਕੋਇ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ॥
कोइ न जानै तुमरा अंतु ॥
Ko▫e na jānai ṯumrā anṯ.
No one knows Your limits.

ਊਚੇ ਤੇ ਊਚਾ ਭਗਵੰਤ ॥
ऊचे ते ऊचा भगवंत ॥
Ūcẖe ṯe ūcẖā bẖagvanṯ.
O Highest of the High, Most Generous God,

ਸਗਲ ਸਮਗ੍ਰੀ ਤੁਮਰੈ ਸੂਤ੍ਰਿ ਧਾਰੀ ॥
सगल समग्री तुमरै सूत्रि धारी ॥
Sagal samagrī ṯumrai suṯir ḏẖārī.
the whole creation is strung on Your thread.

ਤੁਮ ਤੇ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ॥
तुम ते होइ सु आगिआकारी ॥
Ŧum ṯe ho▫e so āgi▫ākārī.
That which has come from You is under Your Command.
