Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Sikh Studies innovatively combines the ways in which scholars from fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, religious studies, literary studies, history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics have integrated the study of Sikhism within a wide range of critical and postcolonial perspectives on the nature of religion, violence, gender, ethno-nationalism, and revisionist historiography. A number of essays within this collection also provide a more practical dimension, written by artists and practitioners of the tradition. The handbook is divided into eight thematic sections that explore different 'expressions' of Sikhism. Historical, literary, ideological, institutional, and artistic expressions are considered in turn, followed by discussion of Sikhs in the Diaspora, and of caste and gender in the Panth. Each section begins with an essay by a prominent scholar in the field, providing an overview of the topic. Further essays provide detail and further treat the fluid, multivocal nature of both the Sikh past and the present. The handbook concludes with a section considering future directions in Sikh Studies.

Download or read book Founder of the Khalsa written by Amardeep S. Dahiya and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book encapsulates the exceptionally eventful and vibrant life of the guru that will provoke thought and debate even in today’s times. Guru Gobind Singh – Founder of the Khalsa; saint; warrior par excellence; poignant poet; philosopher; soulful human being – was the illustrious Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. This extensively researched book goes beyond the established events that broadly include the untimely assassination of Guru Teg Bahadur; Guru Gobind Singh’s coronation; the battles of Bhangani and Nadaun; his stay in Paonta and Anandpur; and the historic creation of the Khalsa. The book talks about other events that sought to widely establish the Khalsa including the battle of Nirmohgarh; the siege and evacuation of Anandpur; the battles of Chamkaur, Khidrana and Muktsar; his Zafarnama to Aurangzeb and subsequent meeting with Bahadur Shah Zafar in Agra. Most importantly, it provides some unknown facts about the anointment of the holy book of the Sikhs – the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal guiding light. Guru Gobind Singh’s prowess as a warrior of immense distinction is well-recorded, besides his understanding of military strategy and execution; the book brings to light his love for literature, scriptures and languages, his philosophical, judicious and humane thought, and is a tribute to the great saint and seeks to outline the historical life, times and events of Guru Gobind Singh in intricate details.

Download or read book The Guru Granth Sahib written by Pashaura Singh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines three closely related questions in the process of canon formation in the Sikh tradition: how the text of the Adi Granth came into being, the meaning of gurbani, and how the Adi Granth became the Guru Granth Sahib. The censure of scholarly research on the Adi Granth was closely related to the complex political situation of Punjab and brought the whole issue of academic freedom into sharper focus. This book addresses some of these issues from an academic perspective. The Adi Granth, the sacred scripture of the Sikhs, means ‘first religious book’ (from the word ‘adi’ which means ‘first’ and ‘granth’ which means ‘religious book’). Sikhs normally refer to the Adi Granth as the Guru Granth Sahib to indicate a confession of faith in the scripture as Guru. The contents of the Adi Granth are commonly known as bani (utterance) or gurbani (the utterance of the Guru). The transcendental origin (or ontological status) of the hymns of the Adi Granth is termed dhur ki bani (utterance from the beginning). This particular understanding of revelation is based upon the doctrine of the sabad, or divine word, defined by Guru Nanak and the succeeding Gurus. This book also explores the revelation of the bani and its verbal expression, devotional music in the Sikh tradition, the role of the scripture in Sikh ceremonies, and the hymns of Guru Nanak and Guru Arjan.

Download or read book Secrets Mysteries written by Harjit Singh and published by MeetCoogle. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maskeen ji’s most outshining quality was his simplicity and humility truly justifying his name. Paradoxically enough, his pious mother named him Sant and sure enough the Mighty God turned him into a ‘Saint’. It is not great men who change the world, but meek and humble men in the hands of Great God! Secondly revered Maskeen ji was an ardent lover of God who sacrificed his life for the ultimate good of humanity. Men of God do not want money, they want souls of people to convert them into lovers of God. During his course of ‘Hari Katha’, Maskeen ji displayed that drunkenness of lovers comes from the soul. His discourses (Katha) are an entire ‘SPIRITUAL CULTURE’. One learns from his ‘Katha’ that a lover may be solitary but he or she is never alone. For companionship he has always the hidden ‘Beloved’ (God).
Download or read book Empire of the Sikhs written by Patwant Singh and published by Peter Owen Publishers. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of Ranjit Singh, contemporary of Napoleon and one of the most powerful and charismatic Indian rulers of his ageRanjit Singh has been largely written out of accounts of the subcontinent's past by recent Western historians, yet he had an impact that lasts to this day. He unified the warring chiefdoms of the Punjab into an extraordinary northern Empire of the Sikhs, built up a formidable modern army, kept the British in check to the south of his realm, and closed the Khyber Pass through which plunderers had for centuries poured into India. Unique among empire builders, he was humane and just, gave employment to defeated foes, honored religious faiths other than his own, and included Hindus and Muslims among his ministers. In person he was a colorful character whose his court was renowned for its splendor; he had 20 wives, kept a regiment of "Amazons," and possessed a stable of thousands of horses. The authors make use of a variety of eyewitness accounts from Indian and European sources, from reports of Maratha spies at the Lahore Durbar to British parliamentary papers and travel accounts. The story includes the range of the maharaja's military achievements and ends with an account of the controversial period of the Anglo-Sikh Wars following his death, which saw the fall of his empire while in the hands of his successors.

Here are some details from Preface - There are a number of quotes throughout this book cited from the early sources including the Bhai Gurdas Vaaran & Kabitt, Rehatnamas, Bhai Nand Lal's ghazals and as well with interspercing of quotes from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Sarabloh Granth Sahib Ji. Along with this, we have also included Sufi theology, various Greek, Egyptian and Chinese scholars' quotes. The Punjabi meanings has been largely utilized from Dasam Guru Granth Sahib Steek by Pandit Narain Singh Giani with some omissions and additions. The primary text of Akaal Ustat has been taken from the personal prayer book (Gutka) of Baba Deep Singh Ji Shaheed, the first Jathedar of Damdami Taksal & Damdama Sahib is currently kept at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib, Sabo Ki Talwandi. The text in this Gutka and the one of Baba Jit Singh Ji's Gutka, the second Jathedar of Damdama Sahib is almost similar. Further, the calligraphy of this manuscript with Baba Ji's written Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji present at Takht Sahib is similar, making it a reliable source. In order to make it more relevant to this day and science, there has been an amalgamation of physics, metaphysics, cosmology and astronomy to create a holistic approach in understanding some core principles and makes the readers contemplate on the intellectual brilliance of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. A plethora of history has been supplied with relevance to the Akaal Ustat in order to make this a concise reference book.
