SSA,
There are many verses which prooves that gurus were performing ardaas. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji advices us to perform the ardaas also but its not specific about the wording of ardaas. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/28509-ardas-in-sikhism.html

Dear Roopsidhu ji,
I completely agree that the wording is not specific.In fact the current wordings did not come into play until long after Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
What do you think the purpose of ardaas should be? Is it a unity thing? A personal thing? Is to provide thanks or think about what to achieve in life? Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=28509
In Gurdwara, ardas seems ritualistic but it obviously has a deeper meaning as it is mentioned in Gurbani so much. It would be interesting to hear how others use and view ardaas? | | The following members appreciate findingmyway Ji for the above message. | |

SSA, The purpose of ardaas ? its multi-purpose. The prayer is a plea to God to support and help the devotee with whatever he or she is about to undertake or has done. It is a petition to God, the merciful creator of the universe. It lowers ones ego, brings calmness to the mental state, teaches one Humility, compassion, fearlessness, gives one inner strength and energy, elevates ones spiritual state, builds ones confidence.Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=28509 While praying it reminds us that all the creation is dependent and only the God almighty' will prevails. This feeling helps us in being humble, honest, spirtual, caring and human.Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=28509 Roopsidu
