About the Book: Poems From the Guru Granth Sahib
Guru Nanak (14691539), a native of Panjab, founded the Sikh religion. His vast
corpus of nearly a thousand hymns forms the core of the Guru Granth Sahib, the
Sikhs sacred book of ethics, philosophy, and theology. The scripture was
expanded and enriched by his nine successors, and Sikhs continue to revere it
today as the embodiment of their tradition. Poems from the Guru Granth Sahib
offers a compilation of spiritual lyrics showcasing the range and depth of Guru
Nanaks literary style while conveying his pluralistic vision of the singular
divine and his central values of equality,
