Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Sikhism written by Louis E. Fenech and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sikhism traces its beginnings to Guru Nanak, who was born in 1469 and died in 1538 or 1539. With the life of Guru Nanak the account of the Sikh faith begins, all Sikhs acknowledging him as their founder. Sikhism has long been a little-understood religion and until recently they resided almost exclusively in northwest India. Today the total number of Sikhs is approximately twenty million worldwide. About a million live outside India, constituting a significant minority in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. Many of them are highly visible, particularly the men, who wear beards and turbans, and they naturally attract attention in their new countries of domicile. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Sikhism covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on key persons, organizations, the principles, precepts and practices of the religion as well as the history, culture and social arrangements. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Sikhism.

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 Gurdwaras in India and Around the World written by Patwant Singh and published by Hyperion Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 213 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Murphy offers a groundbreaking exploration of material representations of the Sikh past, showing how objects, as well as historical sites, and texts, have played a vital role in the production of the Sikh community as an evolving historical and social formation from the eighteenth century to the present. Drawing together work in religious studies, postcolonial studies, and history, Murphy explores how 'relic' objects such as garments and weaponry have, like sites, played dramatically different roles across political and social contexts-signifiers of authority and even sovereignty in one; collected, revered, and displayed with religious significance in another-and are connected to a broader engagement with the representation of the past that is central to the formation of the Sikh community. By highlighting the connections between relic objects and historical sites, and how the status of sites changed in the colonial period, she also provides crucial insight into the circumstances that brought about the birth of a new territorial imagination of the Sikh past in the early twentieth century, rooted in existing precolonial historical imaginaries centered in place and object. The life of the object today and in the past, she suggests, provides unique insight into the formation of the Sikh community and the crucial role representations play in it.
