During 2008, Sikhs celebrated the tercentenary of the bestowl – by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru – of the title of perpetual Guru of the Sikhs upon Grainth Sahib, the holy scriptures of the faith. Guru Gobind Singh also declared his faith to be a self-governing corporate entity. Guru Grainth was to provide rhem with spiritual, moral and temporal guidance. This obviated the need for a superimposed religious hierarchy.

How successful has been the Sikh faith, the youngest and the only worldwide religion established in the past centuries immemorial.

Sikhs thrive best in countries where rule of law is paramount. Unhindered by dogma and self-equality and respect for all people of the world. Sikh faith is a way of life.

This book narrated the Sikh faith practices in a contemporary setting. It shows that the faith is compatible with living in the twenty-first century. Readers should benefit from a study of a faith arisen out of self-sascrifice but without enmity towards others.
