Enhanced throughout with works of art and superb colour photography, this narrative of divinity and scholarship is a fascinating guide to the thought of the ten Gurus and the paths they laid down. A comparatively new religion, Sikhism developed and flourished over the last 500 years, but remains little~known outside the faith. A religion of equality, Sikhism's great Gurus developed a creed of unity and social cohesion. Dr Daljeet explores the significance of these doctrines in practices such as the Guru ka Langer, in which the devout and the hungry are fed as an act of worship, and the famous Sikh commitment to caring for the wounded in war. For while the ten divine masters taught a deeply spiritual path, their commitment to the good of the community has made Sihkism a religion of Earthly works. In The Sikh Heritage, Dr Daljeet explores both the teachings of the masters and the immense cultural riches of Sikh society. She narrates the great life of Maharaja Rajit Singh, one of the pivotal Sikh leaders, and sheds light on the many artistic and sacred aspects of Sikhism. From the Shabads (hymns) to the Adi Granth, the book of learning that defines the Sikh way of living without images of God, to the architectural traditions that reach perfection in the Golden Temple of Amritsar, she guides the reader through a sophisticated and highly accomplished culture. With chapters on numismatics, Phlukari and shawls contributed by experts in the field, and a wealth of rare paintings and photographs of relics, this visually stunning work is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the Sikh way of life and worship.
