AMRITSAR  
The Citadel of Sikhism

THE HOLY BOOK

But stranger is the fact that the holy scripture-Guru Granth Sahib is followed to every letter by crores of Sikhs living throughout the length and breadth of. the world. The irrepressible yearning to visit the Golden Temple to be, blessed with an eyeful sight of the Granth Saheb, the holiest of holies for soulful solace; irresistible passion for listening to it with rapt attention; infinite zeal to assimilate its spirit; inexhaustible striving to translate its ideals into action, and finally the unshakable conviction to abide by its tenets is something phenomenal and it is this word of Guru that is binding people of diverse castes, professions, creeds, classes, regions, languages and ways of life into a well-knit homogenous community. What a marve! What then is that mighty word, and who is its author? Explanation is rewarding, nay, a necessity now. It is enshrined in the Adi Granth, and fell from the lips of Nanak, the Adi Guru of Sikhism. His concept of. the Supreme Being - "The one Omkar is that whose name is 'Truth'; it is the Creator; it is the spirit without fear, without enmity. It has a timeless form, which is not produced from the womb. This true one existed in the beginning-even before the beginning of time-The true one is Oh Nanak! will always to be!". Will not 'marvel' shrink at the sight of this mighty marvel? In terms of its impact!
