The Hymn of Anand Sahib

A gurdwara program may go on for several hours, all night, or even for a number of days. A hukam, is a verse selected randomly from the Guru Granth, at the close of any gurdwara service. The hymn of Anand Sahib is either sung, or recited, prior to reading the hukam at the completion of any Sikh cermony or worship service.
