Singha Former Principal, Guru Harkrishan Public School Vasant Vihar, New Delhi and Chairman eSSE, New Delhi Satwant Kaur Page 1 of 38 INTRODUCTION Understanding different religions and the basic elements underlying them, lays the foundation for a good human being. Such understanding must be imparted at an early age. Keeping this in view, Sikh Public Schools in India have introduced religious instruction known as 'Sikh Studies' or 'Divinity' as a compulsory part of their curriculum. The present series has been developed to provide them a complete course in the subject upto the secondary stage. The series is also aimed at meeting the needs of Sikh children settled abroad by giving them graded tools for study at home or in a Sunday school. This will also be a good resource material for use in summer camps for Sikh children studying in other schools. THE SERIES CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING BOOKS: Book I-II are meant as a launching pad for a study of Sikhism by junior children. They cover the basic facts about Sikhism for beginners. As reading skills are being developed at this stage, illustrations are profusely given to be used as a fulcrum. We also solicit the support of parents and teachers for imparting knowledge. Hints for them have been given at the end of each chapter. Book III-V give sakhis or stories about the Sikh Gurus. They have become a part of the folklore in Punjab. They most effectively convey the teachings of Sikhism in a manner traditionally accepted in all religions.

  • Interfaith Understanding and Communal Harmony
    www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 3 March 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 INTERFAITH UNDERSTANDING AND COMMUNAL HARMONY Saguna Puri Singh The term ‘Interfaith Dialogue refers to the positive, constructive and cooperative interaction between people of different religious faiths and spiritual or humanistic beliefs, at both the individual and institutional levels, with the aim of promoting understanding 1 between different religions to increase acceptance and tolerance. The Parliament of World Religions, held in September 1893,in Chicago USA ,is regarded as a turning point in modern interfaith movement .It brought together leading global voices in the emerging religious studies to promote interfaith understanding and communal harmony .Several global leaders including Swami Vivekananda , one of India s‘ foremost religious philosophers ,a proponent of the Vedanta philosophy in the West, propounded the message of Global harmony ,emphasizing on interfaith and interreligious understanding ,through collaboration between different religious leaders and communities. IJCRT2103040 International Journal of Creative Research Thoughts (IJCRT) www.ijcrt.org 296 www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 3 March 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 1 Interfaith dialogue, Wikipedia. The iconic speech of Swami Vivekananda2 had a profound impact on underlining Hinduism’s rich legacy of interfaith, understanding and communal harmony. Today at a time when polarization and fundamentalism has gripped various countries, Vivekananda’s approach for inclusivity to preaching universal tolerance offers a salve. He quoted few lines from hymn. “As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee” Similar is the case with religion.

  • Institutional Distinctiveness 2019-20
    S.G.G.S COLLEGE SECTOR 26, CHANDIGARH INSTITUTIONAL DISTINCTIVENESS 2019-20 SRI GURU GOBIND SINGH COLLEGE SECTOR 26, CHANDIGARH Phone Number: 0172-2792754 Email: [email protected] Website: www.sggscollege.ac.in Institutional Distinctiveness Sri Guru Gobind Singh College, Chandigarh stands out in its distinctive endeavour for a holistic development of the students and commitment to the cause of academics supplemented with philanthropy, morality and social sensitivity amongst youth. The pedagogy used is contemporary, thereby keeping students in line with the changing scenario in the educational arena, amalgamating this with value systems imbibed from the teachings and lofty ideals of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, after whom the College has been named. Within the mentioned framework, the unique Sikh practice of Seva, selfless service, is integrated in the academic and routine functioning of the College. The recent pandemic has brought this aspect of Seva to the fore, shining brightly through all the efforts and endeavours of the College. The NSS epitomised this spirit by organising a camp for Covid Awareness. Generous contributions were made by all staff members towards the PM Cares Covid Relief Fund, Punjab Flood Relief and Poor Patients Assistance Cell, PGIMER, Chandigarh. NCC cadets received training and were designated Frontline workers and second line of Defence during the pandemic. The overarching humanism and the secular impulse that drives the College reflected in the ideals of ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ (well-being of all mankind) and ‘Manas ki Jaat Sabhe Ek Pehchanbo’ (all mankind is one). These ideals are routinely integrated in the academic and social life of the institution.

  • Sikh Ethnonationalism and Its Contested Articulation During Militancy in Punjab
    25 Kuldip Singh: Sikh Ethnonationalism Sikh Ethnonationalism and Its Contested Articulation During Militancy in Punjab Kuldip Singh Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar _______________________________________________________________ This paper examines the evolution and construction of Sikh ethnonationalism from the beginnings of the faith to the period of militancy in Punjab in the 1980s/90s. While the militants enjoyed great community support immediately after Operation Bluestar and through the late 1980s, their version of Sikh ethnonationalism failed to resonate sustainably with the Sikh masses. In this paper, I highlight how militant violence pivoted from being politically oriented to being more indiscriminant in its targets. The Sikh masses, who eventually became victims of this violence, saw it as being at odds with Sikh values. I argue that this was the crucial reason for the militant version of Sikh ethnonationalism waning, and ultimately failing. This argument is demonstrated by examining the writings and editorials of various Sikh leaders, including some militant leaders who criticized the eventual degradation of militant violence and raised questions about its congruence with historical Sikh values and ethnonationalism. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction This paper examines the evolution and construction of Sikh ethnonationalism from the beginnings of the faith to the period of militancy in Punjab in the 1980s/90s. Specifically, it tries to answer why the particular construction of Sikh ethnonationalism espoused by the militants during the separatist movement of the 1980s/90s eventually failed to resonate with the Sikh masses of Punjab. This is an important question, considering the fact that the militants appeared to have significant community support immediately after Operation Bluestar and through the late-1980s.

    Global Level Philanthropy Sdr. S.P. Singh Oberoi Pledged to the service of mankind till eternity While many top business honchos indulge in philanthropy as a part of their customary CSR activities, Dubai based Indian businessman Sdr. S.P. Singh Oberoi has been passionately devoting a great deal of time towards various sorts of altruistic acts as it has been an indispensable part of his life. Through his international Charitable Trust named “Sarbat Da Bhala” which means “May everyone be blessed”, he has been involved in various humanitarian missions since the last three decades. He shot to fame when he gave the blood money for saving the lives of 17 Indian youths that had been handed the death sentence by a Sharjah civil court for murdering a Pakistan based man some years ago. For his Samaritan acts, he is often referred to as the “Divine Emissary” by his friends, well wishers and admirers. Needless to say, his only religion is humanity and redeeming those in suffering. Albeit he had a humble beginning when he set afoot in Dubai, it was his vision and sheer hard struggle that saw him set up the Apex Group of Companies. As the Chairman of the famous business group of Dubai, he has accomplished many milestones in his career, and has been felicitated for his outstanding achievements at various forums all over the world.

  • Interfaith Dialogue: a Perspective from Sikhism Abstract Introduction
    Abstracts of Sikh Studies, Vol XXII, Issue 4, Oct.-Dec. 2020, Institute of Sikh Studies, Chandigarh, India Interfaith Dialogue: A Perspective from Sikhism Dr. Devinder Pal Singh* Center for Understanding Sikhism, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada [email protected] Abstract Interfaith dialogue is perceived as the best mechanism to build mutual understanding and respect among people of different faiths. Although the Interfaith movement can be traced back to the late 19th century, it gained an unprecedented prominence in the years following 9/11. In Western democracies, interfaith initiatives have been enlisted as part of wider multiculturalist responses to the threat of radicalization. Despite, interfaith dialogue's recent emergence on the world stage, it has been an active component of ancient Indian religious traditions. Sikh Gurus' compositions, and their way of life, reveal that they were among the pioneers of interfaith dialogue in their time. They remained in continuous dialogue with other faiths throughout their lifetimes. For them, the real purpose of the interchange was to uphold the true faith in the Almighty Creator and to make it relevant to contemporary society. With this intent, they approached the fellow Muslims and Hindus and tried hard to rejuvenate the real spirit of their respective religions. Guru Nanak's travels to various religious centers of diverse faiths; his life long association with Bhai Mardana (a Muslim); Guru Arjan Dev's inclusion of the verses of the saint- poets of varied faiths, in Sri Guru Granth Sahib; Guru Hargobind's construction of Mosque for Muslims; and Guru Teg Bahadur's laying down of his life for the cause of Hinduism, are just a few examples of the initiatives taken by the Sikh Gurus in this field.

  • The Moral Duty As Propounded in Sikhism
    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 The Moral Duty as Propounded in Sikhism Dr. Himanshu Shekhar Singh Department of Philosophy, B R A Bihar University, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India-842001 Abstract: This paper is an attempt to propound the duty from ethical point of view. There is the cosmic significance of duty and without understanding this, a true insight into the nature of morality is impossible. There are two meaning of duty, which are denoted by 'Raza' (station) and 'Hat' (in the AdiGranth. 'Raza' is stationing on the way leading towards god and fulfilling the duties connected with that station until the seeker is able and is fit to proceed to the next station in order to attain the ultimate goal of life. On the other hand, 'Hat' (state) is gift from god. There are two types of duties referred by AdiGranth- First personal duty and second organizational duty. All Sikhs are required to perform personal duties. These duties may be stated as follows- (i) Right belief (ii) Right livelihood (iii) Sanctity (iv) Chastity and Fiedlity. Organizational duty is directly related with the human welfare-such as Langar, Parupakar (altruism), Seva (service of humanity), Dan (help to others) and Bhakti (devotion). These are the spinal code for the universal brotherhood. Apart from performing some religious duties one should also wear the following five; Kes, Kripan, Kash, Kangha, Kada. Keywords: Kes, Kripan, Kash, Kangha, Kada, Sikhism. 1. Introduction This paper is an attempt to glean the ethics of Sikhs from the main sources of Skhism and to build a systematic exposition. This will be done by extracting the ethical principles and precepts manifested in the AdiGranth and other alike literatures relating to the Sikhism.
