Bhai Mardana used to play on rebek and Guru Nanak dev ji used to recite Gurbani from his <em>‘paavan mukharbind’</em>.

The one who recites Sukhmani Sahib daily becomes one with Waheguru in his thought. Any one in that stage is called a yogi. Total complete (gurmukhi) letters in Sukhmani Sahib are 21,624; additional letters are the ones which are attached with a letter ( in the foot of a letter); they are 2,373 in count.
