Sri Guru Granth Sahib
: - Personification of spiritualism, harbinger of oneness, perpetrator
of humanity and peace, ever living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Ji.
This is the only granth in the
world in which the hymns of thirty-five holy men, including six
Gurus have been inscribed. It is very strange that a scripture
of one thousand fout hunderd and thirty pages, with so many contributions,
and yet there is no contradiction. This holy volume has been composed
purely on the basis of principles and values. In this scripture
one can find solutions to numerous problems exerting on the world,
such as discrimination based on race, class and creed and the
race for atomic weapons. It is the source of lasting peace to
the mind and solace to the spirit. By following the preaching
of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji one can live a happy life and
can also help others live happily.
Long ago the great Gurus gave
indications of the epidemics and diseases that would inflict upon
the world, like small-pox and gave information about the vast
Universe. The scientists have now proved what the Gurus wrote
in the scriptures long ago. Insinuations of some of the social
changes brought about in the society today such as, upliftment
of women and downtrodden can be found in the granth written ages
ago. It conveys the message of brotherhood and sacrifice. In it
we can also find the foundation of the Red-Cross. The tenth Guru
appreciated the services rendered by Bhai Ghanaya Singh Ji,
when in the battle field he served the wounded soilders whole
heartedly, even if they belonged to the camp. The granth also
preaches hate the evil and not the evil doer.
Thus, it is an old granth having
universal and ever lasting influence, directing people to live
peaceful and happy lives.
