Guru Granth Sahib - The Guru Eternal
To mark the tercentenary of the Gurgaddi Divas of Guru Granth Sahib in 2008, this volume was published to highlight some distinctive features of the Sikh scripture. It was for the first time in the history of world religions that a religious teacher had himself created an authorized version of the scripture. Guru Arjun Dev went a step further by including the hymns of the Hindu Bhaktas, Muslim Sufi saints and the so-called low castes.
Guru Granth Sahib opens with Mool Mantra, the primal creed, wherein Guru Nanak makes a definitive statement about the unity of God and brotherhood of mankind. Set in musical modes, the hymns of Guru Granth Sahib are composed in poetic meters.
With scholarly Introduction by Dr. J.S. Neki and text by Dr. Mohinder Singh, distinguished historian, the volume contains pictures of various Gurudwaras and ceremonies covered by India's leading photographers: Raghu Rai, Hardev Singh, Sondeep Shankar, Malkiat Singh, Gurumustuk Singh, B.P.S. Walia, Aman Sharma Harbir Singh and Rajeev Sharma and works of William Simpson, William Carpenter, Sobha Singh, Bodhraj, B.S. Malhans, Sidharth and other eminent artists find a place of prominence in this volume.
I.J. Singh has written a great review on Sikhnet. Click to read review.
EVERY SIKH HOUSEHOLD SHOULD HAVE THIS AWESOME, CREATIVE BOOK AND KUDOS TO THE PUBLISHERS, WRITER, DESIGNERS AND PRINTERS FOR CREATING A MASTERPIECE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
