Sikh Perspectives on Sharing Wisdom, Pal Ahluwalia 1
SHARING WISDOM A SIKH PERSPECTIVE PAL AHLUWALIA What Is Wisdom? You may read and read loads of books; you may read and study vast multitudes of books. You may read and read boat-loads of books; you may read and read and fill pits with them. You may read them year after year; you may read them as many months as there are. You may read them all your life; you may read them with every breath. O Nanak, only one thing is of any account: everything else is useless babbling and idle talk in ego (SGGS Ji p. 467). Wisdom cannot be found through mere words. To explain it is as hard as iron. When the Lord bestows His Grace, then alone it is received; other tricks and orders are useless (SGGS Ji p. 465). There is a significant difference between one who has acquired knowledge and one who is wise. We know of people who are intellectually brilliant but who lack the capacity to engage beyond their particular area of specialisation. And yet, we know of people who are not renowned for their intellectual brilliance but who have an understanding and wisdom that seems Sikh Perspectives on Sharing Wisdom, Pal Ahluwalia 1 beyond mere intellect. These individuals are often characterised as having character, virtue and insight. They are able to cut through to the core of complexity with elegant simplicity. Wisdom is the ability to know that which is of the deepest significance. This ‘knowing’ comes not through mental calculation or shrewdness but rather through what we may call ‘intuition.’ This form of knowing is about an inner experience, an inner knowing that is embodied within us.

RECONSTRUCTING GENDER IDENTITIES FROM SIKH LITERATURE (1500-1920) A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES SUPERVISOR SUBMITTED BY : DR. SULAKHAN SINGH PARMAR NIRAPJIT Professor Research Scholar Department of History Department of History Guru Nanak Dev University Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar Amritsar DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY GURU NANAK DEV UNIVERSITY AMRITSAR 2010 CERTIFICATE It is certified that the thesis entitled Reconstructing Gender Identities from Sikh Literature (1500-1920) , being submitted by Parmar Nirapjit in fulfillment for the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, is a record of candidate’s own work carried out by her under my supervision and guidance. The matter embodied in the thesis has not been submitted earlier for the award of any other degree. Date : Dr. Sulakhan Singh Professor CERTIFICATE It is certified that the thesis entitled Reconstructing Gender Identities from Sikh Literature (1500-1920) , is entirely my own work and all the ideas and references have been duly acknowledged. Dr. Sulakhan Singh Parmar Nirapjit Professor Department of History Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar PREFACE Women’s issues have always created a deep urge in me to prod deeper into their problems and the manner in which these problems are faced by them. Women since ages are addressed as the weaker sex and it becomes ironical that apart from a section of the male population, majority of the women themselves support this view. In building gender attitudes of people religions play a major role.

This curious riddle is because a particular religion is not clearly understood by the followers of other religions and is sometimes misinterpreted by its own followers. We believe that all religions are basically good and paths to the same ultimate goal. They must be clearly understood, appreciated and, more than anything else, tolerated, for a man has a right to go to “heaven" in his own way. We do not believe in the complete negation of religion. As Einstein has said even science without religion is lame. This book is aimed as a comprehensive introduction to Sikhism both for the Sikhs and non-Sikhs.

A Sikh-Inspired Vision for Learning
A Sikh‐inspired vision for learning: the discursive production of an ethos by members of the GNNET education trust By Gopinder Kaur Sagoo MRes Dissertation School of Education University of Birmingham June 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This qualitative case study considers the formation of a vision for learning by members of a Sikh education trust called GNNET, established in the Midlands, UK, in 2001. Four participant interviews are analysed to build a picture of the meanings, values and life experiences which underpin their endeavours to articulate an ethos. These bring together a range of understandings, personal stances and communicative repertoires, generating common themes as well as highlighting distinct approaches and orientations. Sikh identity pertains to a shared religion, ethnicity and culture, originating five centuries ago in the Punjab region of northern India. This tends to be researched as a subject of study rather than a basis for exploring approaches to learning itself. Associated with the Punjabi words sikhna (‘to learn’) and sikhya (‘learning’), the tradition is rich in educational concepts, arising from its sacred text and resulting discourses and practices passed down through oral tradition.

The Vachana Tradition and Teachings of Guru Nanak Devji: a Comparative Note
© 2014 JETIR August 2014, Volume 1, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) The Vachana Tradition and Teachings of Guru Nanak Devji: A Comparative Note * Prof.Banashankari, Asst Professor , Govt First Grade College - Ranebennur. Abstract of the paper In this paper an attempt is made to understand and discuss both the philosophies and life styles of the followers of Sikhism and Lingatism or Vachana Tradition while trying to take up a Comparative Study of both in the light of Bhakti Movement and an inveterate and indomitable zeal for Reformation and Enlightenment though they reside in the provinces existing poles apart and opposite (South and North) in our country. Further it is interesting to note that Guru Nanak Devji who was a relentless traveler visited Bidar, a district head quarter in my state in which district Basava Kalyana- the field of action (Karma bhoomi) of Basavanna and his troop of enlightened sharanas is situated. There is Guru Nanak Jira Sahib in Bidar, where the holy soul set his feet hallowed the land and thus Karnataka has long association with Sikhism and even one of the five beloved ones (Panj Pyare),Bhai Sahib Singh also belonged to Bidar. Key Words: Linga, Dasoha, Bhakti, Seva, Kaayaka, Kailasa, Sarbat da Bhalla,Waghe guru, caste less society, Equality, Rationality, Supr Twelfth century in the history of Karnataka and Kannada Literature is a period of transition and an important epoch. It was during this period that a new religion cropped up. It was known as Lingayatism. Lingayatism means areligion the members of which wear a ‘linga’ or ‘lingam’, an icon of Lord Shiva, their body.
