Sant Kirpal Singh, head of Shaheed Mani Singh Taksaal has written in Sri Ameer Bhandar that the common man inhales 24000 breaths. In Yoga tradition (Giani Guriqbal Singh claimed it is written in Yoga Kalpatra) a true saint or yogi inhales 21624 breaths and the remaining are reserved. First Benefitīy Reciting the Hymns of Sri Sukhmani Sahib with great devotion, we get our 24000 breaths to be successful. It also gives Divine knowledge and eternal enlightenment. By recitation of this Baani – Song of Eternal Peace, man gets all the Ridhis and nine treasures of wealth. Satguru Ji, hearing the request of the Sikhs, wrote the Baani of Sukhmani Sahib, which gives peace to humankind and proves to be the panacea of all diseases. Therefore show your grace on us that in a day and night when a man inhales twenty-four thousand breaths, those breaths should become fruitful. One day Sikhs requested Guru Arjan Dev Ji that in Gurbaani, the Name of God should be recited with every breath and morsel.
For the fruition of the day, he has written Jap Ji Sahib.
In Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, for the welfare of humanity, Satguru has recited many Baanis, and for making the months fruitful, he has written Barah Maah.
