Amritsar Printed at: Printwell 146, Industrial Focal Point, Amritsar Dedication This Humble effort to describe Shri Guru Nanak Dev's Life, Travels and Teachings is dedicated to the great saint of twentieth century, Bhagat Puran Singh, founder of All India Pingalwara Charitable Society (Regd.) Amritsar. It was due to his blessings when I met him in July 1991 that an ignorant person like me could study and understand Gurbani and write about the Guru' teachings. Bhagat Puran Singh was a great soul and even now, he guides and removes suffering of those who help his mission of running Pingalwara. I have seen that in many cases, when some people sent donations with full faith, their diseases were cured and problems solved.

  • The Khalsa and the Non-Khalsa Within the Sikh Community in Malaysia
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 8 ISSN: 2222-6990 The Khalsa and the Non-Khalsa within the Sikh Community in Malaysia Aman Daima Md. Zain1, Jaffary, Awang2, Rahimah Embong 1, Syed Mohd Hafiz Syed Omar1, Safri Ali1 1 Faculty of Islamic Contemporary Studies, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) Malaysia 2 Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i8/3222 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i8/3222 Abstract In the pluralistic society of Malaysia, the Sikh community are categorised as an ethnic minority. They are considered as a community that share the same religion, culture and language. Despite of these similarities, they have differences in terms of their obedience to the Sikh practices. The differences could be recognized based on their division into two distintive groups namely Khalsa and non-Khalsa. The Khalsa is distinguished by baptism ceremony called as amrit sanskar, a ceremony that makes the Khalsa members bound to the strict codes of five karkas (5K), adherence to four religious prohibitions and other Sikh practices. On the other hand, the non-Khalsa individuals have flexibility to comply with these regulations, although the Sikhism requires them to undergo the amrit sanskar ceremony and become a member of Khalsa. However the existence of these two groups does not prevent them from working and living together in their religious and social spheres. This article aims to reveal the conditions of the Sikh community as a minority living in the pluralistic society in Malaysia. The method used is document analysis and interviews for collecting data needed.

  • Travels of Guru Nanak (Activity Book)
    Perspective Creation seeks perfection and progress in many ways, which are unique to it. A part of the process of this seeking has been the evolution of man. Human race, in its evolution now seeks "happiness" and yet it is unable to find it. It is seeking light but finds darkness. Guru Nanak has come with a gift of awareness and in his enunciations we can find a solution to our confusion, agony, pain and sorrow. The "Sikhi Jeevan" gifted by Guru Nanak is a way of life, an art of dealing with life. Guru Nanak's arrival is an opportunity for us to move our lives from darkness unto light. Knowing Guru Nanak is a joy and this joy brings with it - the freedom. The exploration and understanding of Guru Nanak's life gives us a better understanding of our own lives. We can know about Guru Nanak through the "katha" of his life. It reveals to us that when we just look at life simply, truth unfolds itself, life becomes a Sacha Sauda. It also gives us hope that we can live in a state of awareness and freedom in "Sehaj". Guru Nanak's coming is a revelation of "Shabad" to us, in the form of Ik Oankar and the Mool Mantra. In the Vein river, "Shabad" was revealed to Guru Nanak as a communion from "Nirankaar" The Mool Mantra is the foundation of the Sikh religion and the synopsis of Guru Granth Sahib. Sikh religion and Guru Nanak bring the message of love, breaking the boundaries of division in the world and society.

  • Guru Nanak's Life and Legacy
    G.S. Mann: Guru Nanak’s Life and Legacy 3 Guru Nanak’s Life and Legacy: An Appraisal Gurinder Singh Mann University of California, Santa Barbara _____________________________________________________ Taking W.H. McLeod’s Guru Nanak and the Sikh Religion as a point of departure, this essay examines the previous generation’s understanding of Guru Nanak’s life and mission and expands upon it in light of empirical evidence culled from early contemporary sources. By questioning McLeod’s arguments regarding the paucity of general historical information about Guru Nanak’s life and his close participation in the Sant community of poets such as Kabir and Ravidas, this essay argues that the Guru founded a new community replete with a distinct set of beliefs and institutional structures. While scholars have tended to focus on the upper caste Hindu background of Guru Nanak, very little attention has been directed towards articulating the social demographics of this new community, which were overwhelmingly drawn from nomadic and low-caste Hindu society. _____________________________________________________ Guru Nanak (1469–1539), the founder of the Sikh community, is a subject of perennial interest for the Sikhs and their scholars, and a quick look at any bibliography on the subject would reflect the range and the depth of writings available on various aspects of his life and teachings. Given his relatively recent dates, there is a wide variety of sources available about his life and mission (Jagat nistaran).1 These comprise texts, including his poetic compositions and the writings of his immediate successors and early followers; sites such as Talwandi, the place of his birth, and Kartarpur (The Town of the Creator), the center he established; and two known artifacts associated with his life.2 These sources provide primary information for a scholarly reconstruction of the Guru’s life.
