Guru Granth Sahib

The Holy Book
 

Guru Granth Sahib ([ɡʊɾu ɡɾəntʰ sɑhɪb], Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਗਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ; Hindi: गुरु ग्रन्थ साहिब) is the central religious text of Sikhism, considered by Sikhs to be the final, sovereign guru of the religion. It is a voluminous text of 1430Angs (pages), compiled and composed during the period of Sikh gurus from 1469 to 1708 and is a collection of hymns (Shabad) or Baani describing the qualities of God and the necessity for meditation on God's nām (holy name). Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708), the tenth guru, after adding Guru Tegh Bahadur's bani to the Adi Granth affirmed the sacred text as his successor. The text remains the holy scripture of the Sikhs, regarded as the teachings of the Ten Gurus
