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 A to Z of Sikhism
Author: W. H. McLeod
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810863448
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
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.

A Gift of Grace
Author: Daler Aashna Deol
Publisher: Niyogi Books
ISBN: 9389136164
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Ji jant sabh Saran tumaari sarb chint Tudh paase jo Tudh bhaave soo-ii changaa Ik Nanak ki ardaase [Raga Bilawal] all beings seek your protection. They leave their worries with you. Whatever pleases you is good. That is Nanak’s prayer. Guru Nanak spiritual beliefs and practices, based on his direct experience of God, were profoundly transformational. He brought the path to enlightenment closer to the masses by his use of a language that they understood. His monotheism, coupled with his emphasis on the pursuit of divinity while living the life of an ordinary householder, was a significant departure from the prevailing beliefs in renunciation, pilgrimage, and other rituals. A gift of grace: the essence of Guru Nanak spirituality simplifies the gurus core spiritual message for the modern reader. The author, at the outset, enunciates the spiritual foundation of the gurus world view and his conception of reality, including the nature of God. Japji Sahib, a foundational religious text, is presented in its original form together with an English translation and an in-depth commentary. The book concludes with a representative selection of the gurus hymns.
