Book Overview

GURDWARAS ARE CENTRAL TO THE SIKH ETHOS. IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GURU GRANTH SAHIB, SIKHS PRAY, LISTEN TO GURBANI, AND SEEK ITS MESSAGE. THE SPIRIT OF SIKHISM LIVES THROUGH THE RITES OF BANI, KIRTAN, KATHA, SEWA, AND LANGAR. GURDWARAS ARE TRULY ABODES OF THE GURU. Gurdwaras are central to the Sikh ethos. In the presence of Guru Granth Sahib, Sikhs pray, listen to Gurbani, and strive to understand its message. The spirit of Sikhism is manifested through various rites and activities that take place in a Gurdwara--the recitation of Bani from Guru Granth Sahib, kirtan, katha, sewa, and langar. Gurdwaras are abodes of the Guru. Guru Nanak Dev and his successor Gurus envisioned a life where spirituality and daily living coalesce seamlessly. They expected the Sikhs to embody moral conduct, earn an honest living, and share their rewards, all while maintaining a deep spiritual and ethical foundation. Gurdwaras is a meticulously curated collection of 51 Sikh shrines from India and around the world, each selected for its unique impact on its community. It explores the profound connections between social reality and spiritual consciousness that these Sikh institutions represent. Roopinder Singh paints a vivid word picture of these spiritual sanctuaries, their history, and heritage. The exquisite paintings by Allan Quesada complement and enrich the text.
