Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that intellectual movements, such as deconstruction, postsecular theory, and political theology, have different implications for cultures and societies that live with the debilitating effects of past imperialisms, Arvind Mandair unsettles the politics of knowledge construction in which the category of "religion" continues to be central. Through a case study of Sikhism, he launches an extended critique of religion as a cultural universal. At the same time, he presents a portrait of how certain aspects of Sikh tradition were reinvented as "religion" during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. India's imperial elite subtly recast Sikh tradition as a sui generis religion, which robbed its teachings of their political force. In turn, Sikhs began to define themselves as a "nation" and a "world religion" that was separate from, but parallel to, the rise of the Indian state and global Hinduism. Rather than investigate these processes in isolation from Europe, Mandair shifts the focus closer to the political history of ideas, thereby recovering part of Europe's repressed colonial memory. Mandair rethinks the intersection of religion and the secular in discourses such as history of religions, postcolonial theory, and recent continental philosophy. Though seemingly unconnected, these discourses are shown to be linked to a philosophy of "generalized translation" that emerged as a key conceptual matrix in the colonial encounter between India and the West. In this riveting study, Mandair demonstrates how this philosophy of translation continues to influence the repetitions of religion and identity politics in the lives of South Asians, and the way the academy, state, and media have analyzed such phenomena.
Download or read book Sikhism A Guide for the Perplexed written by Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sikhism's short but relatively eventful history provides a fascinating insight into the working of misunderstood and seemingly contradictory themes such as politics and religion, violence and mysticism, culture and spirituality, orality and textuality, public sphere versus private sphere, tradition and modernity. This book presents students with a careful analysis of these complex themes as they have manifested themselves in the historical evolution of the Sikh traditions and the encounter of Sikhs with modernity and the West, in the philosophical teachings of its founders and their interpretation by Sikh exegetes, and in Sikh ethical and intellectual responses to contemporary issues in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. Sikhism: A Guide for the Perplexed serves as an ideal guide to Sikhism, and also for students of Asian studies, Sociology of Religion and World Religions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sikhism: A Convention Lecture Sikhism. It is a movement, then, primarily of devotion. In its philosophy it is Hindu, but as a movement it is reformatory in its nature, striving against the formalism of the time, against the ceremonialism of the time, in order to find the life which lay below the form, the essence of the truth that had inspired the ceremonies. In the time of Guru Nanak, as too often in the history of the world, a great religion had grown more and more formal and men were starving on the husk of the grain rather than eating the grain itself. Guru Nanak sought to find the grain, and in so doing threw aside, to a large extent, the husk; he strove to lead men to see the reality of religion, the life of religion, -the essence of religion, and to see that life and essence in love to God and the Guru, in love to men as children of the one God. You may almost sum up in that phrase the very essence of Sikhism. We shall find presently in his life how he tried to draw together the warring elements around him. We shall see presently in his life how it was one song of praise and love to God, how he was ever seeking the Supreme and, having found Him, strove to teach his fellows how they too, by devotion, might reach the same knowledge. That is the thought that I would have in your minds in the study of Sikhism, and I shall show you presently how that is carried out by the teachings in the Sikh Scriptures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative of Sikhism and the lives of its ten beloved Gurus have a significant place in the tapestry of human history, resonating with vitality and depth. The book titled "Sikhism and the Lives of the Ten Gurus" explores the journey of Sikhism, tracing its roots from modest beginnings to a series of significant events that have had a great impact on this relatively young but highly powerful religion. As the author, I am confronted with the task of effectively communicating the fundamental principles of Sikhism, specifically the profound aesthetic and significance inherent in the Shabads and teachings found in the Guru Granth Sahib. The core principles of these teachings frequently appear to lose their potency throughout the process of translation from their original format. This sensation is strongly experienced when an individual fully engages in the tranquil atmosphere of a Gurudwara, where they have the opportunity to listen to the harmonious recitations of a Ragi or the profound readings delivered by a Granthi. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib is distinguished by its notable lack of words promoting hatred or proselytising, making it a significant source of wisdom and advice. The objective of this ideology is neither to proselytise nor to guarantee material benefits for unquestioning compliance. Moreover, it fosters an exploration of one's own identity and comprehension, compelling individuals to embody the essence of Sikhism as disciples engaged in an unending pursuit of wisdom under the guidance of the Gurus' sagacity. This scriptural passage elucidates the concept of human unity beyond divisions based on gender, social standing, or physical well-being, promoting a lifestyle characterised by integrity, mindfulness of the divine, and altruistic acts of service. This literary work transcends just a mere historical narrative, as it serves as a profound exploration of the lives of 10 remarkable individuals. Through their teachings and acts, these individuals played a pivotal role in shaping a faith that continues to exemplify principles of tolerance, equality, and an unwavering commitment to the quest for truth. As we progress through the many chapters, we observe the development of Sikhism from its establishment by Guru Nanak to its consolidation as a unique and vibrant religious tradition under the leadership of Guru Gobind Singh. I am privileged to partake in this shared experience, which surpasses a mere retelling of historical events and digs into the essence of a belief system that instructs us to live without the obligation of justifying the unjustifiable. Instead, it encourages us to adopt a course of action characterised by tranquilly, comprehension, and a sense of interconnectedness among all individuals. This book aims to provide readers with an insight into the profound knowledge of the Gurus and the enduring significance of their teachings in the context of our modern society.
