Book excerpt: The Japji, composed by Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh faith, is the most important prayer of the Sikhs, and one of the most sublime and majestic examples of sacred poetry in any language. Comprising a series of hymns in praise of 'the One God Who is Truth', it opens the sacred book of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib, and is recited every morning by all practising Sikhs. The Rehras is a prayer of thanksgiving, recited at the end of the day in gratitude and also for inspiration. It comprises hymns by five of the ten Sikh Gurus: Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjun and Guru Gobind Singh. This volume brings together Khushwant Singh's classic English translations of the two best-known and, in many ways, defining sacred compositions of the Sikhs. Beautifully illustrated, this is a collector's edition for anyone interested not only in the Sikh faith but also in great sacred literature.

Download or read book Truth Love and A Little Malice written by Khushwant Singh and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-02-10 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1915 in pre-Partition Punjab, Khushwant Singh, perhaps India’s most widely read and controversial writer has been witness to most of the major events in modern Indian history from Independence and Partition to the Emergency and Operation Blue Star and has known many of the figures who have shaped it. With clarity and candour, he writes of leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, the terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, the talented and scandalous painter Amrita Shergil, and everyday people who became butchers during Partition. Writing of his own life, too, Khushwant Singh remains unflinchingly forthright. He records his professional triumphs and failures as a lawyer, journalist, writer and Member of Parliament; the comforts and disappointments in his marriage of over sixty years; his first, awkward sexual encounter; his phobia of ghosts and his fascination with death; the friends who betrayed him, and also those whom he failed.

Book Synopsis Nitnem and Ardaas : English Transliteration by : Manmohan Singh Sethi
Download or read book Nitnem and Ardaas : English Transliteration written by Manmohan Singh Sethi and published by Sukan Publishing Universe. This book was released on with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This prayer book is the kind manifestation of Waheguru ji’s grace. It is aimed to assist all, especially the young and those who do not understand Gurmukhi yet, to do Nitnem. Prayer is an essential part of Sikhism. As food nourishes and strengthens the body, prayer purifies the mind uplifts the soul. Sikhs are ordained to rise in the morning and meditate on the Name of God ‘Waheguru’. They are also expected to do ‘Nitnem’ which literally means ‘Daily Routine’. Nitnem is composed of a collection of five prayers to be done during different periods of the day. Morning (3 prayers) Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib and Sawaiye. Evening (1 prayer) – Rehras Sahib Night (1 prayer) – Kirtan Sohila Ardaas should be done after every prayer session. I have included Ardaas for the reader in this book too. The person who forms the habit of doing Nitnem daily, ultimately experiences bliss and peace. While the best experience would be derived from reading the prayers in Gurmukhi, there should be no hindrance for anyone who does not know the Gurmukhi script, to do Nitnem While every effort has been made to simplify the transliteration, I encourage the reader to read the prayers while listening to them in audio format a couple of times. This will help them grasp the correct pronunciation. There is a section for links to the individual prayers in YouTube. This will help to get the correct pronunciation, or if you wish to just listen to the prayers. This prayer book is perfect to carry around in one’s device, so the prayers can be performed from anywhere. It is also a wonderful gift to offer to friends and family. After doing prayers regularly, one can look for translation books to assist in helping understand the Bani. I am certain that by Waheguru ji’s grace, the reader will eventually seek to learn the Gurmukhi script.

Book excerpt: Part fiction, history, and mythology, this unconventional retelling of the life of divine spiritual master Guru Nanak, founder of the Sikh religion and revered by Muslims and Hindus alike, provides an intimate look at the enlightened Guru while bringing his ancient wisdom to a modern audience. From the best-selling author of Ganesha Goes to Lunch and Rumi’s Tales from the Silk Road comes an original novel about the life and travels of Guru Nanak, a musician, enlightened thinker, and one of the most beloved figures in Eastern spirituality. In this fascinating book, Kamla K.

Factual details are intermingled with fantasy to produce a symbolic portrait in which humor and imagination combine to convey a profound and entertaining spiritual narrative.
Download or read book The Sikhs written by Patwant Singh and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five hundred years ago, Guru Nanak founded the Sikh faith in India. The Sikhs defied the caste system; rejected the authority of Hindu priests; forbade magic and idolatry; and promoted the equality of men and women -- beliefs that incurred the wrath of both Hindus and Muslims. In the centuries that followed, three of Nanak's nine successors met violent ends, and his people continued to battle hostile regimes. The conflict has raged into our own time: in 1984 the Golden Temple of Amritsar -- the holy shrine of the Sikhs--was destroyed by the Indian Army. In retaliation, Sikh bodyguards assassinated Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Now, Patwant Singh gives us the compelling story of the Sikhs -- their origins, traditions and beliefs, and more recent history. He shows how a movement based on tenets of compassion and humaneness transformed itself, of necessity, into a community that values bravery and military prowess as well as spirituality. We learn how Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru, welded the Sikhs into a brotherhood, with each man bearing the surname Singh, or "Lion," and abiding by a distinctive code of dress and conduct. He tells of Banda the Brave's daring conquests, which sowed the seeds of a Sikh state, and how the enlightened ruler Ranjit Singh fulfilled this promise by founding a Sikh empire. The author examines how, through the centuries, the Sikh soldier became an exemplar of discipline and courage and explains how Sikhs -- now numbering nearly 20 million worldwide -- have come to be known for their commitment to education, their business acumen, and their enterprising spirit. Finally, Singh concludes that it would be a grave error to alienate an energetic and vital community like the Sikhs if modern India is to realize its full potential. He urges India's leaders to learn from the past and to "honour the social contract with Indians of every background and persuasion."
