  1. Sikh Books: A Gateway to Spirituality, History, and Philosophy

  2. Sikhism, one of the youngest major world religions, has a rich literary tradition that preserves its teachings, history, and philosophy. Central to Sikh faith and practice, Sikh books not only offer spiritual guidance but also serve as a source of inspiration, historical insight, and moral clarity. Through these texts, followers and scholars alike can gain a deeper understanding of Sikh values, beliefs, and the journey of the faith across centuries.

  3. The Guru Granth Sahib: The Eternal Guru The cornerstone of Sikh literature is the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhism. Compiled by Guru ArjanDev, the fifth Sikh Guru, in 1604, this holy book is unique because it is considered the living, eternal Guru by Sikhs. Rather than being a text to merely study, it holds the spiritual authority of a Guru, guiding followers in all aspects of life.

  4. Historical and Explanatory Texts While the Guru Granth Sahib remains the heart of Sikhism, there are many other important Sikh books that provide context, history, and further explanation of the faith’s teachings. Some of these include:

  5. Modern Interpretations and Commentaries In addition to these historical texts, there are numerous modern Sikh books that offer interpretations and commentaries on Sikh scripture and philosophy. Scholars and theologians have produced translations and explanations of the Guru Granth Sahib to make its teachings more accessible to contemporary readers. Many of these works explore the philosophical depths of Sikhism, linking its core teachings to issues of modern life, such as social justice, environmentalism, and equality.
