Book Description

Sri Darbar Sahib, (Golden Temple) is a living institution of the non dual Sikh worldview of the interconnective and inseparable coexistence of Miri-Piri, Temporal and Spiritual. Sri Harmandir Sahib (Piri) and Sri Akal Takht Sahib (Miri) manifest this belief. Sri Akal Takht Sahib, the immortal throne, has been and continues to be the consensual and authoritative institution for the Sikh Qaum or Worldwide Sikh community. It has enjoyed de facto Supremacy respected by many Authorities. However as the Sikhs are now a global People, it is increasingly becoming necessary for Sri Akal Takht Sahib to gain de jure sovereignty. This will enable the Global Sikh community to develop consensus and function independent of any political or legal shadow through Sri Akal Takht Sahib under its temporal supremacy. The benefits for Sikhs, India, South Asia and to some extent the world are enormous for peace, for development and as a place for new ideas to tackle global issues facing humanity and the earth. This book looks at the history, the necessity, the possibilities of Sri Akal Takht Sahib supremacy and establishing de jure position in international relations.
