It was written by Guru Ram Das, whose vibration exists holding a state of grace and love that heals all realms of the heart and being. The Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, taught that if a woman recites this bani eleven times a day for any man, it has the power to make him a saint and dissolve any negativity between them. He would often give this as a Sadhana to women for the men in their lives. So Purkh is a part of Rehiraas, the evening prayer of the Sikhs. "Woman is the molder of time, the molder of space and of man: the man of tomorrow, the child; the man of today, the husband, and the men of yesterday, the ancestors. The entire society in theory and in reality is based on the spirit of the woman." ----Yogi Bhajan Yogi Bhajan said if a woman recites this bani 11 times a day for any man, it has the power to make him a saint and dissolve any negativity between them.
