DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Recognized masterpieces of Indian literature, the Guru Granth Sahib and the Dasam Granth are fundamental to the Sikh religion, not only in the physical layout of temples and in ceremonies of worship, but as infallible reference texts offering counsel and instruction. Teachings of the Sikh Gurus presents a brand new selection of key passages from these sacred scriptures, translated into modern English by leading experts, Christopher Shackle and Arvind-pal Singh Mandair. Including six longer compositions and many shorter hymns thematically organised by topics such as Time and Impermanence, Self and Mind, Authority, and Ethics, the book’s accessible and carefully chosen extracts distil the essence of Sikhism’s remarkable textual and intellectual legacy, depicting how its message of universal tolerance suits the contemporary world. The detailed introduction and notes to the translations aid readers’ comprehension of the hymns’ form and content, as well as providing some historical context, making it an ideal introduction to Sikh literature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A comprehensive, compelling, and insightful narrative that traces the birth, the growth, and the spread of Sikhism – one of the world’s most dynamic and progressive religions. In this perceptive work, Dr Harish Dhillon highlights the lives and times of the ten Sikh Gurus, beginning with Guru Nanak, who founded Sikhism in 1469, and ending with Guru Gobind Singh, who established the Khalsa Panth in 1699. It throws light on how the Gurus acquired profound knowledge and wisdom, which they sought to pass on to the common people through their teachings. Their life histories show how they sincerely practised what they preached and how they led by example. Apart from these, it recounts the enormous sacrifices the Gurus made to keep the faith going. In addition, the book gives elaborate details on how Sikhism has evolved over the centuries. This volume reveals the human side of the ‘Divine Gurus’ venerated not only by Sikhs, but also across various faiths in India and in other parts of the world. The contents in the book are intertwined with the underlying theme that the ideal religion (or faith) is one that is based on simplicity and keeps changing with the times, yet does not forget the very essence that it started with.

There are 25 Million Sikhs worldwide, of which 18 million live in the Panjab and other 7 million around the world. At the heart of the religion are the Ten Sikh Gurus from the founder father guru Nanak (1469- 1539) to Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708) who transferred authority from individual masters to the scriptures know as Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhism is known to be the fifth largest religion of the world. Sikhs today have their own ethics, rituals, festivals and ceremonies. This book contains a brief introduction to the Sikh Gurus, The Takhts - the five seats of authority, Amrit- the initiation, Nishan Sahib- the symbolic Sikh Flag, the five K's and the Guru Granth Sahib. The book includes information about the transition of Sikh scriptures from the contributors of Guru Nanak and other Gurus and holy men to the final living Guru- Guru Granth Sahib.
