Sukhmani Sahib (Punjabi: ) is usually translated to mean Prayer of Peace is a set of 192 padas (stanzas of 10 hymns) present in the holy Guru Granth Sahib, the main scripture and living Guru of Sikhism from Ang 262 to Ang 296 (about 35 count). It is a lengthy composition, written by Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru. This Gurbani text (writing of the Gurus) was written by the 5th Guru, Guru Arjan (15631606) at Amritsar in around 1602. The sacred prayer spans 35 pages from page 262 to page 296 of the Guru Granth Sahib. The word Sukhmani is rendered into English as "consoler of the mind." The entire poem has been translated into English more than once under the commonly preferred title, "Jewel of peace", "Psalm of peace" or "Song of peace", signifying the soothing effect it has on the mind of the reader.

Sukh literally means peace or comfort and mani means mind or heart also jewel. (Mani in Gurmukhi it can mean jewel, gem, precious stone). One of the fundamental texts of the Sikh faith, the Sukhmani presents a complete scheme of the teachings of the Sikh faith. While each astpadi has a fresh vision to impart, a particular aspect of Truth to unfold, the whole text may be regarded as the reiteration of basic themes such as Divine immanence, Divine compassion, abundance of grace, God's succoring hand, the merit of devotion, of holy company and humility. With such reiteration, the composition as a whole has a remarkable gripping quality reinforced by the striking imagery which in stanza after stanza brings home to the seeker the truths he must own. This book is not intended as a substitute to the study of the original scripture, which has timeless beauty and relevance.
