  • The Institution of the Akal Takht: the Transformation of Authority in Sikh History

    The Institution of the Akal Takht: the Transformation of Authority in Sikh History

    religions Article The Institution of the Akal Takht: The Transformation of Authority in Sikh History Gurbeer Singh Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The Akal Takht is considered to be the central seat of authority in the Sikh tradition. This article uses theories of legitimacy and authority to explore the validity of the authority and legitimacy of the Akal Takht and its leaders throughout time. Starting from the initial institution of the Akal Takht and ending at the Akal Takht today, the article applies Weber’s three types of legitimate authority to the various leaderships and custodianships throughout Sikh history. The article also uses Berger and Luckmann’s theory of the symbolic universe to establish the constant presence of traditional authority in the leadership of the Akal Takht. Merton’s concept of group norms is used to explain the loss of legitimacy at certain points of history, even if one or more types of Weber’s legitimate authority match the situation. This article shows that the Akal Takht’s authority, as with other political religious institutions, is in the reciprocal relationship between the Sikh population and those in charge. This fluidity in authority is used to explain and offer a solution on the issue of authenticity and authority in the Sikh tradition.

By the end of this Unit you are expected to understand: • the origin and development of Sikhism through the successive ten Gurus • the structural as well as conceptual framework of the Sikh Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, and its cosmopolitan vision • the ethical aspects of Sikhism, ethical code of conduct, status of women and contributions of Sikh women to spirituality • the practical implications of Sikh teachings • the role of Sikh institutions • the Sikh ceremonies, rituals and festivals • the Sikh literature and Sikh socio-religious movements 4.1 INTRODUCTION In the history of Punjab, Guru Nanak appeared at a time when there was complete disintegration not only social and political but also moral and spiritual. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikh religion, has presented a microscopic portrayal of society in his compositions. He was totally aware of his surrounding atmosphere, religious as well as non-religious. He condemns the external paraphernalia of religion with all its religious rites, ceremonies, sacrifices, pilgrimages, idol-worship and ascetic practices which enhance human’s ego and deprive one of highest spiritual truths. He denounces the empty religious rituals and reacted strongly against the formal ways of worship of orthodox priestly class of Islam and Hinduism.
  • Autoethnography: a Potential Method for Sikh Theory to Praxis Research

    Autoethnography: a Potential Method for Sikh Theory to Praxis Research

    religions Article Autoethnography: A Potential Method for Sikh Theory to Praxis Research Narinder Kaur-Bring Centre for Sikh and Panjabi Studies, University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton WV1 1LY, UK; [email protected] Received: 16 November 2020; Accepted: 16 December 2020; Published: 19 December 2020 Abstract: The application of autoethnographic research as an investigative methodology in Sikh studies may appear relatively novel. Yet the systematic analysis in autoethnography of a person’s experience through reflexivity and connecting the personal story to the social, cultural, and political life has synergy with the Sikh sense-making process. Deliberation (vichhar) of an individual’s experience through the embodied wisdom of the Guru¯ (gurmat) connecting the lived experience to a greater knowing and awareness of the self is an established practice in Sikhi. This article explores autoethnography as a potential research method to give an academic voice to and capture the depth of the lived experiences of Sikhs: first, by articulating the main spaces of synergy of autoethnography with gurmat vichhar; second, discussing common themes such as inclusivity of disregarded voices, accessibility to knowledge creation, relational responsibility, and integrity in storytelling common to both autoethnography and gurmat vichhar. In conclusion, the autoethnographic approach has the means to illuminate nuances in understanding Sikhi that is transformative and familiar to the ancestral process of how Sikhs have made sense of themselves and the world around them. Keywords: Sikh; autoethnography; lived experience; reflexivity; gurmat; diaspora; pandemic 1. Introduction This essay aimed to evaluate the inherent subjective nature and flexibility of autoethnography as a potential methodology in Sikh Studies, in particular, in researching the lived experiences of Sikhs across the globe.

  • The Need for a Standard English Translation of Guru Granth Sahib

    The Need for a Standard English Translation of Guru Granth Sahib

    EDITORIAL The Need for a Standard English Translation of Guru Granth Sahib Dr Kharak Singh As a result of the programmes organized under the quadri-centennial celebrations of Guru Granth Sahib, the awareness about the Sikh scripture and the living Guru of the Sikhs has reached an unprecedented level. It is increasingly being realized in knowledgeable circles that the message of the Gurus is universal in time and space and is not only relevant to the present century, but is indispensable for the future of mankind. More and more people want to read and benefit from it, leading to a demand for translation of the original text in Gurmukhi into all major and minor languages, Indian as well as foreign. Selected hymns have been translated from time to time. The number of translations of Japu ji runs into hundreds. The other hymns in this category include Sukhmani Sahib, Asa di Var and the banis of the Nitnem. The Japu ji, however, has been and will continue to be the farourite of translators. A number of attempts have been made at translation of the full text of Guru Granth Sahib. There are over half a dozen extant translations into English. As we all know, the first among these was the one by Ernest Trumpp who was commissioned by the British government. He could not complete it, but what he did was indeed a disaster. He was incompetent as well as untrustworthy, and could not rise above his prejudices or bias as a Christian missionary. His work was, therefore, unanimously rejected by all sections of Sikh scholars.

We know that writing about the Dasam Granth is a very sentimental, delicate and emotional issue, but we have ventured to present to readers something, in our own style, which has not been presented in this format before. We have not gone into the controversy ofestablishing the authorship ofthe Granth. It is a valuable treatise, and in absence ofany solid evidence to prove or disapprove its authorship, let us evalu­ ate it as a Book. We are thankful to Dr. S.S. Kohli and Dr. Jodh Singh for the use ofEnglish translation ofa few selected compositions used in the book. Our thanks are also due to Ms. Poonam Kapoor for her help to complete this book in its present format. 23 rd January 2004 Dr. Sukhbir Singh Kapoor Mrs. Mohinder Kaur Kapoor Introduction to the Second Edition I am very thankful to my readers for appreciating my attempt to produce a book on Dasam Granth amongst floods ofcontroversies.
  • Invasion of Religious Boundaries

    Invasion of Religious Boundaries

    Introduction When Guru Nanak in his mystic trance was honoured by cosmic enlightenment, he, challenged the prevailing status quo by saying “I am neither a Hindu or a Musalmann”. The founder of Sikh religion created a multitude of enemies who went into “cognitive dissonance” and reacted very sharply to Sikhism as an independent religion. Historically speaking a positively actualized and evolved Sikh of Guru Nanak’s times, or Guru Gobind Singh’s Khalsa, has been enigma to the role dancing, docile, linear, convergent, myopic, “instrumental” Sikh researchers. H. Oberoi is one such pseudo-Sikh who has chosen to follow blindly Trumpp-McLeodian paradigms to make a living as a professor at the cost of a troubled Sikh community. Sikhs had many enemies. The Mughal rulers, the enemies within, the close minded Arya Samajists, and finally the Eurocentric Colonial Missionary Research Scholars, have all taken sadistic pleasure in destroying Sikhism. These scholars, with their role dancing disciples, want to bring correctness to Sikh history. They use social science methods, developed in Europe, to understand Sikh Gurus and their mystic writings. Calvinistic thought and an arrogant belief in the inferiority of Asian religions, is at the root of their Euro centric research. Oberoi’s work, under cover of Academic Freedom, forgets all norms of civility, and even tramples over the guidelines set by Social Science Research Council of Canada (1993). Dr Oberoi is a willing victim of “scholarly”, unsubstantiated arrogance when he calls Aad Sri Guru Granth Sahib an amorphous collated anthology without uniqueness. Clumsy distortions, mindless anthropological constructions and assumptions, producing ig-nominious forged postures, sacrilegious statements about mystic Gurus, effectless effort of a bland, blunted, unattached, constricted, shallow, pathetic Oberoi has produced a disjointed cynical, conscienceless and unscrupulous book called “Construction of Religious Boundaries” to attack the independent Sikh Identity.
