About this ebook
First compiled by Guru Arjan in the early seventeenth century, ‘The Guru Granth Sahib’ is the central holy scripture of Sikhism. Venerated by Sikhs as a living being, the text consists of 1,430 pages poetically rendered and set to a rhythmic ancient north Indian classical form of music. A masterpiece of Asian literature, it presents a vision of society based on divine freedom, mercy, love, belief in one god and justice, while rejecting all forms of oppression. Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious texts of Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.
