About the Book
During 2008, Sikhs celebrated the tercentenary of the bestowal - by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru of the title of perpetual Guru of the Sikhs upon Granth Sahib, the holy scriptures of the faith. Guru Gobind Singh also declared his faith to be a self- governing corporate entity. Guru Granth was to provide them with spiritual, moral and temporal guidance. This obviated the need a superimposed religious hierarchy. How successful has been the Sikh faith, the youngest and the only worldwide religion established in the past centuries immemorial. Sikhs thrive best in countries where rule of law is paramount. Unhindered by dogma and self- interest, its followers believe in equality and respect for all people of the world. Sikh faith is a way of life. This book narrates the Sikh faith practices in a contemporary setting. It shows that the faith is compatible with living in the twenty-first century. Readers should benefit from a study of a faith arisen out of self-sacrifice but without enmity towards others.
