Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever book on the Gurdwaras, this brilliantly written book tells in graphic and vivid detail the moving story of the Sikhs and their house of prayer. The Gurdwaras emerged as a new edifice on India`s religious landscape in the seventeenth century. Ever since then this indestructible symbol of the Sikh faith has stirred intense and indefinable feelings in millions of Sikhs everywhere. These feelings range from a yearning for the comforting peace of its sacred precincts, and the ever abiding fragrance of marigolds and rose petals, to a longing to her recitations from the Guru Granth Sahib, and the shabads rendered to the robust and resonant voices of the ragis. There is also the urge to savor the Karah Parsad once again - the sacramental food blessed by the Lord and given to all who visit a Gurdwara. Each of these experiences are so elevating as to bring tears to many eyes. This brilliantly written book tells the moving story of the Sikhs and their house of Prayer. It is told in graphic and vivid detail - from the founding of the Sikh faith to the time the Gurdwara became the enduring source of self-renewal and inspiration for all Sikhs. The narrative creates beautiful images of compassion, courage, fortitude and valor to commemorate which the Sikhs built most of their historic Gurdwaras. Many of these shrines are blessed by their association with the ten founding Gurus of the faith. The text, and the stunning photographs in striking color which accompany it, combine to make this first-ever book on the Gurdwaras a tour de force: a celebration of a powerful symbol which represents Sikhism`s pride, faith, and its most cherished beliefs. The images and emotions this book arouses are unending. Each sustained by the inner wellspring of belief, hope, pride, passion and ecstasy: that rich mix of feelings which imbues Sikhs with love and confidence in their faith. And in their house of God - the Gurdwara. With their distinctive appearance, adventuresome spirit, sense of service and exemplary work ethic, Sikhs have created a powerful impact the world over. And wherever they have put their toots down there stands the Gurdwara - the abiding symbol of their pride and devotion, place of prayer and piety. In this extraordinary book - the first of its kind ever published- the inspired text takes the reader on a magical exploration of the Darbar Sahib at Amritsar; of other historic Gurdwaras in India and Pakistan and through many distant lands like Iran, Iraq, US, Canada, UK, Burma, Bangladesh and Australia where Sikhs have built noble edifices in honor of their faith. Published for the first time here are photographs of rare relics, paintings, weapons, armor, manuscripts, memorabilia and much else which provide valuable insights into those stirrings times during which the Sikhs were asserting with compassion, courage and valor - and against amazing odds - their rights to live by the spiritual, social and philosophic goals laid down by their Gurus.

Download or read book Splendid Artworks in Historic Sikh Shrines of India and Pakistan written by Balvinder Singh and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book represents a passionate attempt aimed to bring into cognizance the condition of splendid artworks in spiritual, historic Sikh shrines (Gurdwaras) of India and Pakistan. The photographic documentation of artworks in the form of Jaratkari (inlaid stone), Mohrakashi (frescoes), Tukri ( mirrors), Gach (gypsum) and gold embossing depicts important facets and values of the society of that period: patience, belief in nature, soberness, and above all, the memories of our great Gurus. This book would be enlightening about not only preserving the dilapidated art forms but also in many other ways, especially the various Sakhis related to Guru Nanak Sahib in the form of Mohrakashi displayed in Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai in Amritsar. Further, this book would help in garnering the attention of concerned people towards this important but neglected issue of preservation of artworks in historic Gurdwaras as well as the memoirs related to our great Gurus therein.

Download or read book The A to Z of Sikhism written by W. H. McLeod and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-07-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular opinion, there is more to Sikhism than the distinctive dress. First of all, there is the emergence of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, and the long line of his successors. There are the precepts, many related to liberation through the divine name or nam. There is a particularly turbulent history in which the Sikhs have fought to affirm their beliefs and resist external domination that continues to this day. There is also, more recently, the dispersion from the Punjab throughout the rest of India and on to Europe and the Americas. With this emigration Sikhism has become considerably less exotic, but hardly better known to outsiders. This reference is an excellent place to learn more about the religion. It provides a chronology of events, a brief introduction that gives a general overview of the religion, and a dictionary with several hundred entries, which present the gurus and other leaders, trace the rather complex history, expound some of the precepts and concepts, describe many of the rites and rituals, and explain the meaning of numerous related expressions. All this, along with a bibliography, provides readers with an informative and accessible guide toward understanding Sikhism.

Download or read book Sikh Separatism written by Rajiv A. Kapur and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, Sikh Separatism is a comprehensive study of the emergence of Sikh unrest in India. The appearance of Sikh fundamentalism and separatism is not a sudden development. They are both shown to have deep social and historical roots linked to the growth of contemporary Sikh identity, community and organization. The genesis of Sikh communal consciousness and organization lies in a social and religious reform movement among Sikhs from the 1870s to the 1920s. This movement is believed to have moulded Sikh perceptions of their political interests and resulted in the establishment of an institutional framework which has served as an arena and a base for Sikh separatism. The development of this reform movement and its motivations, the strategies and tactics employed by the reformers and its profound political implications are examined. This book will be of interest to students of political science, international relations, and South Asian studies.
