Area^ Phase-1, New Delhi-110028 © Hemkunt Press 1994 First Published 1994 ISBN 81-7010-245-6 Hemkunt Books on Sikhism The Story of Guru Nanak The Story of Guru Goblnd Singh Biography of Guru Nanak The Story of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Being a Sikh Stories from the Sikh History Book I-VII Sikh Studies Stories about the Sikh Gurus I- Stories about the Sikh Heroes Sikhism-A Complete Introduction Japji Hymns from Guru Granth Sahib Hymns from the Dasam Granth Introduction to Sikhism Mini Encyclopaedia of Sikhism The Sikh Religion and the Sikh People Philosophy, Facts and Fundamentals of Sikh Religion PREFACE It is quite paradoxical but true that religions which should generate love many times become a cause of hatred; religions which should promote peace in the world have resulted in most of the killings and war in history; and religions which should unify society have ended up in dividing humanity. 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.

  • Noble and Brave Sikh Women
    NOBLE & BRAVE SIKH WOMEN Sawan singh NOBLE AND BRAVE SIKH WOMEN (Short biographies of twenty noble and Brave sikh women.) By Sawan Singh Noble and Brave sikh women Sawan Singh Principal (Retd.) 10561,Brier Lane Santa Ana, 92705 CA, USA Email- [email protected] Dedicated to To the Noble and Brave Sikh women who made the sikh nation proud….. Introduction Once I had a chance to address a group of teenage girls, born and educated out of the Punjab, about the sacrifices and achievements of the Sikh women. I explained to them, with examples from the lives of noble and brave Sikh ladies, that those ladies did not lag behind Sikh men in sacrificing their lives for their faith .I narrated to them the bravery of Mai Bhago and social service rendered by Bibi Harnam Kaur. They were surprised to learn about the sacrifices of the Sikh women in the Gurdwara Liberation Movemet. They wanted me to name an English book that should contain short biographies of about twenty such women, but those biographies should be based on history, and not fiction. I could not think of any such book off hand and promised that I would find one. I contacted many friends in India, U.S.A., Canada, and U.K to find such a book, but could not find any. I was told by a friend of mine in Delhi that there was such a book named “Eminent Sikh Women” by Mrs. M.K. Gill, but was out of stock. I was shocked that in our male dominated society Sikh women were not being paid due attention.
