Book Description

Guru Granth sahib is an unparalleled anthology of scared and spiritual hymns, aimed at elevating the human soul to the highest pinnacles of superconsciousness. Its global nature and scope is marked by an inbuilt blueprint for giving an affirmative direction to the contemporary world, facing a grave confrontational situation. Guru Granth Sahib- The Sikh Scripture offers a comprehensive and across-the-board perspective of Guru Granth Sahib, reflecting its exclusivity as a supreme and paramount holy scripture. The illustrious authors of various articles, contained in this volume, have used their experiential and intellectual knowledge to provide variegated details of the spiritual as well as of the material world. The scholarly articles reflect the underpinnings of the celestial reality, divulging in the process a good amount of its divine manifestations. The book highlights the exceptional feature of Gurubani as a repository of universal values, portraying the indivisibility of diverse spiritual experiences. It underlines the idea that though the main thrust of Guru Granth Sahib is upon the spiritual quest and adherence to the Divine Will, yet it mirrors a definite stance towards the contemporary social and political realities too. It also unfolds the reality that while the Granth recognises the value and validity of cultural and religious plurality in social existence, its main concern is well-being of every individual and of all the peoples of the world without discrimination and inequity. The various expositions, constituting this volume, help endow Sikhism with a unique place amongst the world religions.
