Synopsis

The world has become a global village. Most countries have diverse, multicultural, and multi-religious communities. Rare is a country that does not have some Sikh residents. And yet, Sikhism is not a proselytizing faith. Instead, the focus for a Sikh is to live a life of inward reflection, which informs outward action. In that way, Sikhs strive to create a just and fair society, where all may worship and live in their unique ways, all the while flourishing and growing together.The 20 Minute Guide to the Sikh Faith provides a brief overview of Sikh philosophy, institutions, values, and practices – in short, ‘the Sikh way of life.’ It’s a handy book for non-Sikhs unaware of Sikh history and its traditions including naming a child, the Amrit (initiation), marriage, and death ceremonies and is written in a very compelling and lucid style.
