Today’s hukamnamma is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj, the fifth light of Nanak, and is in Raag Dhanasaree. Dhanasaree Raag is the raag of carefreeness. It’s a raag of being totally "ichint", totally liberated from worries.It’s in ghar 2, which is the roopak taal. "Cha-upday" means there are four steps, four separate steps to this shabad.
