The Oxford Handbook of Sikh Studies
Author: Pashaura Singh
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191004111
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
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.

Pages : 247
Book Description
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).

Historical Dictionary of Sikhism
Author: Louis E. Fenech
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442236019
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
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.

The Guru Granth Sahib
Author: Pashaura Singh
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199087733
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
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.
