A "pauri" is a term used in the context of the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism. It refers to a specific type of stanza or verse that is part of a larger composition. Each pauri typically consists of a set number of lines and conveys a distinct message or theme, contributing to the overall spiritual teachings of the scripture. In the Sikh tradition, pauris are often recited during prayers and religious ceremonies. They serve as a means of meditation and reflection, helping individuals connect with the divine. The rhythmic structure of pauris also makes them memorable, allowing for easier recitation and understanding of the teachings.
